They were very accommodating with the weather and instead of cancelling due to strong winds, they just changed the departure port. The boat was fine, food options were very limited. The captain was charismatic and played good music. Beware that the time in Gozo is very tight even with the direct private transport, we only managed to have lunch and briefly see the gardens next door.

Excellent communication before the trip informing us of a change to departure point. The cruise its self was an amazing experience. Well worth the money.

Andrea

Everything very organized and clear. The stages are of the right length. The speaker speaks both English and Italian. The shuttle service with an additional €5 to get to Rabat on Gozo is useful. Advise.

We did this excursion on 4/26/24 the experience was pleasant. Kevin with his explanations in English and Italian and his musical play list already made us really entertained. We took the €5 extra ticket to visit the capital of Gozo but the whole day was beautiful, it was worth visiting the wonderful blue lagoon and the other caves that you come across while sailing. The return trip by boat was very windy so bring the k way

A truly beautiful day. Seen wonderful places. On board the ferry they gave explanations in both Italian and English about the places seen from on board and the very detailed appointments for the departure. I gave one star less because the only thing I would improve is the minibus which you can optionally take to Gozo at a cost of 5 euros each. The driver leaves you in one place for 10 minutes and at the Citadel for 2 and a half hours, without telling you where we are or what there is to see. He gives you the time and leaves. At least a small explanation like on board the ferry would be needed. For the rest I definitely recommend it. It's a great experience, especially at the Blue Lagoon.
