Great Experience

We booked a tour with a Speedboat to the caves! It was a very great experience!!! Aswell we took the Bus to Gozo, but we didn't have enough time to visit the Island. Maybe it is better to visit Gozo on a whole day Trip.

Loved our ferryboat ride to Gozo. All went as planned. Clean ship and bathrooms. Captain described sights along the way which was very helpful for us tourists.
Great Experience!!

great way to explore Malta. I would recommend splitting the Gozo and Comino experiences on separate day so that you can explore these places at leisure. But if you want to cover everything in single day then this is the best deal.
Really enjoyed this...

Really enjoyed this experience. The staff was really nice, the route was pretty great too ! Lots to see in a few hours , worth the money !
A beautiful day out

We had a great time on the boat and enjoyed the interesting commentary during to trip to Comino. The slide and opportunity to jump off the boat was great fun and the food and drinks were reasonably priced compared to restuarants on the island. The upstairs deck was filled really early which we were warned about and the location is really busy which we didn’t necessarily know before hand. Despite this we had a great day out. If you are going for a relaxing beach day though this isn’t the trip for you.
Excellent day!

Excellent music, food and drinks were VERY affordable. Bus tour on Gozo was a good choice, but did shorten time in Victoria.
Excellent

The host on the cruise not sure if it was the captain but he did the voice over, he was great and very friendly. His music taste was very good also. He took us into the caves and up close which was my favourite part of the cruise. The blue lagoon stay was also very nice. The only thing I would improve is the gozo tour that we paid an extra 5 euros for which I don't think was hosted by them but it was advertised on the trip. We only had 10 minutes in one spot and then 2 hours in another and there wasn't much to do we were quite bored after we saw the citadel. However, overall I would recommend Hornblower cruises.
Beautiful Malta

I ordered my tickets on the day on their website and also had a look at the reviews before booking. We chose the Gozo route as we had never been to the island but in hindsight I would recommend the white band route (staying longer in the blue lagoon), more on that later. We paid 5€ extra for the transport in gozo and I recommend doing it as its alot simpler and didn't see that many buses on the roads there. I did want to also book the smaller boat that goes into the caves however it wasn't available at this time of the season unfortunately.
The crew are really friendly, minivan driver was funny, food and drinks were well priced but we didn't order any.

As I said earlier the blue lagoon white band is a better option as you can spend alot more time there and go for a swim. We did spend and 1hour and abit there but the time just flys by. Also in Gozo there weren't that many things to do per say. On the first stop there is only enough time to climb this hill. Then at Victoria there is more time to see things like the fortress and have lunch but its close on timings!

Overall is a great day out to go explore Malta and learn about the islands history. I would definitely recommend this to friends.
