Cruise was great and also their customer service - Great cruise around the harbours and creeks with clear English commentary. Really great photo opportunity to see the beautiful area from the water. Also thank you to their vigilant customer service who noticed I made a mistake and ensured my husband and I did get tickets for the same boat! Really above and beyond. Would highly recommend the cruise.

Great tour - Really nice tour and explanation, you get to see a lot in just an hour, from a perspective that you wouldnt get from land. .

Informative harbour cruise - Nice trip around the harbours, nice to see Valletta from the sea and cruise around the harbours checking out the super yachts and tiny gondolas which I’m glad I didn’t rent!

Interesting tour around Grand Harbour and all the creeks in Sliema & Valetta - We went with the smaller company (Luzon) tours rather than the big new boats which can be very busy apparently. Considering it was December it was still quite busy. We went on the midday cruise which is probably the busiest. I did the notice that when the 10.30am cruise was offloading there were less than half the numbers of our cruise. Commentary was pre-recorded and in English then repeated in German. We sat upstairs and enjoyed the trip. We saw the fortifications from a different angle, even the dockyards, large private yachts and a massive cruise ship. Still 2hrs was long enough to sit on the hard fibreglass seats.

Interesting cruise around both harbours and all the creeks. - Interesting trip, it went right around both harbours and all the creeks. Running pre-recorded commentary first in English, then repeated in German. We found it very interesting. I think the time is about right as 1½ hrs sitting on those hard fibre glass seats was enough for us. As it was a little windy, it was quite cold (Dec.), so don't forget your coat. It's one of the smaller boats (70 max) run by Luzzo cruises, and I feel it was preferable to the massive new boats that are available. We were on the 12.30pm tour, which was quite busy. I did notice there were just a few people getting off the previous 10.30, tour so maybe I would do that time if I was going again.
