Good service and great driver! - Recommend this tour to the city of Malaga because it will show you the city at 360 degrees. Recommendation also for the driver Ana who greeted us with a smile and answered all our questions, giving us valuable advice and information on places to visit near Malaga.

Excellent - Excellent tour. Picked up the bus at the station and did most of the red route, getting off at the Plaza de la Marina. The English commentary was good, and not only explained the sights , but talked about the history of Malaga. On a couple of occasions the commentary was out of sync, but didn't spoil it. After lunch we went for the Green Route. We expected it to be better indicated (Stop 4). We checked with the adjacent bar and established that it was the correct stop. Also as the frequency was every 75 minutes, we had a long wait, so managed a drink in the bar. We stayed on the bus , but on another occasion would have got off at the Botanical Gardens, which looked amazing.

Malaga loop - It was an enjoyable trip and provided the opportunity to see the sites of Malaga. The second turn on a different bus had some audio ports that didn’t work.

A good way to see the city - We bought the essential package for 48hrs and managed to go to most of the experiences on offer. This meant it was value for money. The late night boat tour with the violinist was a lovely experience and made the boat trip. I don't think the boat trip would have been as good otherwise. The museums and galleries were great to get into and the walking tour was very good. This ended with the Flamenco which was a highlight. The bus tour was disappointing as the headphone connections did not work and a bit more information on the history of Málaga and surrounding area would have been worthwhile. The bus mainly stayed on the red and blue lines, and there did not seem to be any buses on the green line to the Botanic gardens. Overall I feel the experience was worthwhile because we made sure to go to most things on offer and this helped us to see the City of Málaga more so than we would have without.

Great way to get around Málaga and see the sights - Great way to get around Málaga and see the sights. We used it throughout the day as a city circular bus and managed to explore a lot of the city.

Nice but not essential - The bus was a good way to get around the city and see parts you probably wouldn’t walk to. We got our tickets from an on street stall for €25pp but were not given a leaflet. The stops are not all clearly signposted which can make it difficult. I would highly recommend downloading the app before using the bus as it gives you the map and location/times of the busses.

Thrown off the bus - We booked the tour in Malaga, after one stop the bus driver threw us out of the bus with “Change Bus”. No explanation, nothing, the next bus didn't take us. The representative of the company that sold the tickets at the stop just told us to wait for the next one, it's none of her business. Audio guide also worked on almost no seats.
