“We had such a good time on this trip - even in November it was awesome, and we still got to swim in the Blue Lagoon. I just wish the Gozo part was organised a bit better, since we basically got dropped off and given free time. But overall it was a really relaxed, fun 7 hours, and the staff were super friendly.”

“We booked a tuk-tuk tour with a light lunch through Yippee (via Vialtor), and though we were initially unsure, it turned out to be the best decision! The tour was well-organized—we were picked up on time, boarded the boat smoothly, and enjoyed a pleasant 25-minute ride to Gozo. Upon arrival, we were quickly transferred to our spacious tuk-tuk (fits up to 6 passengers). Our driver, Ursula, was both knowledgeable and cautious, providing clear instructions at each stop. After exploring Gozo, we sailed to Comino Island for a refreshing swim and cave tour. Finally, we were dropped off back in Malta without any hassle. Overall, Yippee made it easy to see…”
