Great driver - Today we took the tourist bus, the driver was Francisco Amaya, a great, very friendly driver who explained to us where we should go to eat and made us a small map of the most emblematic places in Malaga. Thank you so much.

The ease with which we were able to discover and enjoy the places of interest in Malaga. Without a doubt we will recommend it. - Excellent experience. The bus and boat tour was very well designed. The guide and recommendations made by Francisco Amaya were very significant and helped us a lot.

Flamenco Jaleo - The drivers Ivan and Francisco Amaya were very friendly and provided great details in all explanations. To improve the schedules since when there are changes it does not coincide with the triptychs on the excursions or shows. To include within the tours something as important for the city as Holy Week and its brotherhoods But generally good.

Hop on off was good but hot and tiring. Once you get off you could get lost easily in town - We took the hop on off bus tour that included a flamenco dance show and boat ride in the harbor which were great. The bus ride was too hot to sit on top and poor directions were given to find flamenco show. No good map was given to help once you got off and the town is large and congested. Watch out for pick pockets.

IVAN, a very kind and pleasant driver with clients - We had a very nice day, unfortunately there was a sports race, the bus did not leave at 10 a.m. (1 hour bus start time) and we got on at 2 p.m. We already lost half a month. And our flight left the next day at half a day. . But in the afternoon we were luckier to find a driver (Ivan), who took us and picked us up to the botanical garden at night, (Christmas lights recommended) he was very nice and kind to us.

Just so si - It is just ok. They have someone right at the bus who scanned your code, which was super great. However, the buses were so full, that you hesitated to get off at any sites, because you might have to wait for a really long time to be able to get back on. Also, some of the recorded messages about the sites came on too late and you were past the site. Not horrible, but I would not repeat it again.

Disappointing - The bus made exceptionally long stops along the way. The hop on staff located at each stop boarded and had lengthy conversations with the driver. It was a very hot day and at each 10 minute stop, the doors were left wide open and any cooler air was gone. Our experience was much worse than any other Hop on tour that we did in other cities.

Okay for sights seen but very frustrating, lots of waiting for buses and poor communication. - The wait times for buses were irregular and inconsistent i.e. no buses and then 2-3 in a row. The transfer points between the 3 routes were unclear and should have been mentioned in the commentary at each transfer point. The blue line was not available the day we used the hop on/hop off but we were not informed of that (after waiting an hour at the transfer point) and finally got back on the red route to find out the blue line had been "combined" with the red line---not the case when we started the tour that morning (did not do the blue line) but the decision must have been made to combine after we had completed the red route. Poor communication The red line did provide a good overview of the city.

Malaga by hop on hop off bus - We often try to take advantage of the hop on hop off buses during holidays, was a bit disappointed with the service in Malaga as the commentary available was very poor although the bus service as a means to get around the city does its job. We booked the essential package so also offered a free boat trip round the bay as well as entry to the flamenco show amongst other extras so wasn't a complete waste. Also the Malaga Hard Rock Cafe is situated in the harbour area so gave us a chance to buy yet another shot glass for sons collection
