A great way to see the city - You can't go wrong with a hop-on hop-off bus. It allowed me to see the sights around Malaga without all the walking. A very enjoyable experience.

HOHO Malag - Always a good way to get the lay of the land in a new city. Unlike a previous hoho in Barcelona this route had no signs indicating stops so it was very confusing as to where we could hop back on.

Great way to see the city! - Great way to see the city - good commentary. Not too busy. Really enjoyed the bus experience. Would recommend the bus- the boat was horrendous as the water was so choppy - were no warnings about this at all! Also were given the wrong information about the time of the flamenco show and so missed it!

Smart choice - Good overview of Malaga! Helps you decide where to get off and spend some extra time. Since it was Sunday it didn't start until 10am, wish we had known that. Not sure if that's every day.

No, don't do it - What a waste of time and 100 Euro (4x25) No audio tour, just music, no A/C or open windows, lomg wait times at stops, never was able to connect to green line. Take a taxi from Port to city center and walk around and catch city bus. This HOHO was a total waste of time and money. I don't want an apology, I want my money back.

Don’t waste your time (literally) - Do not bother. If you want to do the red line first thing in the morning to see a good bit of the city. I suggest only do the red line and only do the cheapest tour. They say the red line will also do the blue. I wasted 2-3 hours just trying to do the blue line instead of exploring on my own. I spent about an hour just sitting waiting for the next bus. One person tried to help. The others just dismissed me or told me the bus I was getting on was going to do the blue line next. That was not the case. Wasted a good bit of my day. One bus driver told me his bus didn’t start for an hour. When I got back after 30-35 mins he was gone. Very misleading and terrible customer service.

Don’t do it - Over priced. No commentary on the first bus and no explanation . Quite dangerous as people moved about the top deck trying to plug earphones in but none working. Got off to complain and we’re all moved to a newer bus. Did get the sound but mainly music and very little useful information. Not all the stops were announced so you could easily miss the castle or Alcázar. Not worth the money .

Waste of time! - Complete waste of time unless you want to spend your day waiting on a stationary bus at bus stops! Really disappointing.

Would never book again! - Long wait to get on. No air in bottom deck. Large group allowed to cut the boarding line. Stuffy. Hot. Over-crowded.
