How to see the worst of Catania - With the train tour you can not see the best things of Catania: neither piazza duomo, nor piazza university, nor via Crociferi, nor Castello ursino, nor piazza teatro Massimo. Just smog, noise and degradation. Total flop and bad impression for tourists.totally not recommended.

Awful service, always late - €16/day or €35/week but still not worth it at all. Always late, very late. The most important negative is that it starts after 9 am every hour till midday, but every two hours after midday. So if you miss it, you’re stuck in that place.

Don’t bother nothing to see, the audio was limited and about place names. Your goes via some grotty areas. - Don’t waste your money. We took the 1 hr tour. The bus stops 2 places 2 mins walk away from each other. If you get off the bus gets full and you wait an hour. It looked like locals were using it we sat in front of a couple having a very loud heated conversation.

Poorly managed- avoid - Totally chaotic. People boarded wrong buses because there were no signs or announcements. buses are late if they even come at all. Just poorly managed service one should avoid.

A bus trip to hell with a very agressive & angry driver. - A Bus trip to hell with a very angry &aggresive driver - so nasty was this driver that it really destroyed our lovely holiday in Sicily. I booked for the city by sea bus but by accident got on this bus on return trip (Mazzara to Gardini naxos) - easy to do as both buses look exactly the same. The bus started going to next stop by time I had found my ticket and I showed the bus driver and he started yelling get of, get off - you are on the the wrong bus. So I said I was happy to pay the 16 euro again as I was not feeling well (60 yrs old)which was easy to do as you pay on the bus. The driver still continued to be nasty and treated me like a I had commuted some crime. The whole experience was so shocking, my pulse rate went right up and it took the rest of the day to recover. The dirivers behaviour was so unecessary and so uncalled for - not a nice person.

ESCAPE TOURIST DREAM MALT3 - We are in Malta and we wanted to go to Mdina. We took tourist Dreams and bad experience because the driver did not announce the stops and did not stop. We were therefore unable to go down to Mdina and lost our morning. We informed the person when we got off the bus on our way back to the hotel and Tourist Dreams didn't want to hear anything, blaming us for not having asked the driver to stop. It's true that a tourist knows the places why we take a tourist bus!!! FLEE THIS COMPANY IN MALTA. there are many serious ones I think. In addition, the manager yelled at us on the phone when we tried to explain the situation.

SAVE YOUR MONEY - it’s awful - It’s difficult to express just how poor this experience was. I have to give it 1 star but it barely rates this.
Our bus left 20 minutes late but 15 minutes in it broke down. The driver didn’t speak english but fortunately someone could translate. Another bus would be sent. It was. After an hour. Then it ran out of gas so another bus was swapped. Then there were 2 x 10 minute stops on the way up the coast. Not much to see. Possibly more upset by the lack of customer service and 90 minutes of my life I’ll never get back sitting by the side of the road.
If you’ve read this far then you should know it’s €15 to travel up and down the NW coast but not much else. Too scared to hop off as I fear there won’t be another bus later - they can’t have that many. The last 15 minutes was interesting but could’ve walked it. No refund. Oh well. Should’ve read the recent reviews

Avoid - Avoid. Terrible time keeping and delays. They promise 10 minutes to departure and you wait an hour! Not worth it. Total mismanagement, incompetence or just a con!
