Itinerary
Take a hop-on, hop-off bus tour that shows you the best of Malta's sister island Gozo, and explore it at your own speed. Stop at famous landmarks and stunning beaches, then continue on to explore any area in further detail, including the Ggantija Temples or a sandy beach.
Following your immediate pickup from Mgarr Harbour, we'll take you to Xewkija, Bus Stop 2, one of Gozo's most charming settlements, using both bus lines. Owing to your elevated vantage point in our open-air buses, you will have a distant view of the magnificent Rotunda of Xewkija, which is also referred to as the Church of Saint John the Baptist, constructed in the late 17th century. Get off the bus at Stop 3 and head to Savina Creativity in the Magro Food Village if you'd like to sample some of the regional food.
Your taste buds will explode with the cuisine in Gozo! You may also take a leisurely stroll by getting out at Bus Stop 4 and following the trail all the way from Victoria to Dwejra Heritage Park. Ta Dbiegi, a vibrant, Maltese neighbourhood with a wealth of cultural traditions, is located at Bus Stop 5 and is home to some of the best glass and craft stores. Stop at Bus Stop 10 to explore the Museum of Archaeology and immerse yourself in Gozo's rich history. You can discover everything there is to know about the past of the way of life, faith, and culture of this city.
Savour the spectacular vistas spanning 360 degrees from the upper deck of an open-air bus. Arrive at Victoria, the capital, which is home to the renowned Citadel, often known as the "crown of Gozo," which has served as the centre of island activity since Neolithic times. The most populous region on the island is Victoria, which is located exactly in the middle.
Take the bus to Republic Street, the main thoroughfare lined with eateries, banks, and retail establishments. You can eat here, take in a show in one of the theatres, or use this time to shop for mementos. Stop by the Bishop's Chancery, Il-Mall, or Rundle Gardens for a break from the bustle of the city.
