Hi
We are off to Malta at the end of March for 5 days and have decided, for the first time ever abroad, not to hire a car as people tell us that the bus service is so good it is not necessary to hire a car. However, we are planning to go over to Gozo for a day and have also heard that the bus service on that island is not so good. I would like to ask those who know Malta and Gozo well, what would be the best recommendation for the trip to Gozo i.e. should we hire a car just for that day and, if so, is it relatively easy to hire a car for a single day or should we go on a organised tour of Gozo. ? Alternatively, can we depend on the public transport on Gozo ? Any advice gratefully appreciated.
Thank you

I've been to Gozo 4 times and we've hired a car each time. I'm sure Gozomark can give you much more information about the bus services but I do think to appreciate Gozo properly, you need to do your own thing! Organised tours and public transport limit you a little bit and some of the best parts of Gozo are off the beaten track somewhat. Bus services between the ferry port and Rabat seem to be very good but I couldn't answer for the rest of the island. Have you any idea about where on Gozo you want to go?

Musicmaker is correct - buses from harbour to Victoria are good, but elsewhere range from OK to poor. I would recommend either hire a car, or book a taxi for a day or half day
We have done both..the first time we ever went we hired a mini bus for the day for a guided tour for 8 of us. the driver was very good and he let us pretty much choose the itinery and made sure we got a good look at all the best places...that said, every other time since, we have had the luxury of a car and I would recommend that as the way to go. It is easily sorted out and the car can be waiting for you when you get off the ferry.
Great
