A bird's-eye view of the island

As one of the many regular visitors to Malta I would like to think I have seen most of the island but during my last couple of visits I have tried out the open-top bus sightseeing tours. Last year, I did the South tour and this year I tried the North tour. It's amazing how different places look from "on top". The routes on both tours are well planned and, along with an excellent commentary, provide a very pleasant way to see the island.

Open-top tours have been very popular in the UK for many years both in our major cities and at seaside resorts, so it's good to see Malta taking up the idea.

To anyone who is a regular visitor or someone coming for the first time, I would recommend these tours without hesitation. Even to the people of Malta, why not hop on board too, you may even discover something about your lovely island that you did not know.

Well done to all concerned.
