Gozo: City Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

4.2 (1,283 verified reviews)

About This Experience

If you have crossed to Gozo on the ferry under your own steam, this is the cheapest way to turn that into a proper island day. The open-top bus starts at Mgarr Harbour, where the Malta ferry docks, runs a fourteen-stop loop taking about two and a half hours, and you get on and off as you please.

The route reaches the major attractions: Victoria and Republic Street, the Bishop's Chancery, Il-Mall and Rundle Gardens, and it passes Fort Chambray — built by the Knights of St John in 1749 and still guarding the harbour — and the church of Our Lady of Lourdes above Mgarr. From the top deck the views across the terraced fields are the whole argument for an open bus.

Headphones and an information booklet with discounts at local eateries and shops come with the ticket; attraction entry does not. The service runs all year round, which makes it one of the few reliable Gozo options in winter when the adventure-vehicle tours thin out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the Gozo hop-on hop-off bus start?

At the Gozo Ferry Terminal on Triq Ix-Xatt at Mgarr Harbour, where the Malta ferry docks. That makes it the natural pairing with a foot-passenger ferry crossing.

How long is the full loop?

About two and a half hours for the complete circuit, with 14 stops. You can ride it straight through for the overview or hop off at Victoria, the gardens and the harbour viewpoints and pick up a later bus.

Does it run in winter?

Yes. The operator states the tour runs all year round, which is worth knowing between November and March when several of the adventure-vehicle tours reduce their schedules.

What is included in the ticket?

Unlimited travel on the loop, headphones for the commentary, and an information booklet carrying discounts at local eateries and shops. Attraction tickets are not included.

Is this enough to see Gozo in a day?

It covers the towns and the views well and costs very little. It does not reach Dwejra, Ramla Bay or the tracks a jeep or quad uses, so if the coast and the countryside are what you came for, pair it with something else or book a land tour.
