No audio available. Therefore not any information on the trip. Very disappointing as only one day in Malaga off celebrity equinox cruise ship. Complained to driver. Asked if better to get on next bus but told that had no sound in English. Total waste of 59.98 euro. Told to complain by driver of bus

if you are interested in boring museums that have nothing to show, this is a great tour for you. Despite Flamenco show which was really great experience. The bus is good for sightseeing but when it was a time to pick us from car museum we had a problem. The bus stop said that our bus will be there in 18:05. It was a little late but when it finally came, the bus driver said that we can not go inside because it was an end of his shift. He said that there will be another bus in 10 minutes so we waited for an half an hour but no one came. Would not recommend for that insanely high price.
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your experience with City Sightseeing Málaga.

However, we're truly sorry to learn about the inconvenience you experienced at the Car Museum stop.

Your comments have been shared with our local operations team, as feedback like yours is invaluable in helping us review our procedures and improve the reliability of our service.

When you hear about city tours in other city's, the 48 hour tour tickets were a waste of time and very short, info was very difficult, we downloaded the app to track the buses wasn't working. Bus were very late
Just back from the red line hop on hop off tour in Malaga. This is worst I’ve ever been on with nothing interesting to see and no commentary! What are you paying for if you don’t know what you are seeing and are stuck in traffic lights most of the time. Took the more expensive ticket to include boat tour but don’t think we will bother!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your experience on the City Sightseeing Málaga hop-on hop-off tour (Red Line) did not meet your expectations. We regret that you felt there was limited commentary and that the journey was affected by traffic conditions, which can unfortunately impact travel times in the city centre. Our Málaga sightseeing bus tour is designed to provide live or audio commentary to help identify key points of interest along the route, so we are concerned to hear that this was not available or not working as expected during your trip. We will be sharing your comments with our local operations team to investigate this issue thoroughly. We also understand your disappointment regarding the combined ticket including the boat experience. We are sorry that the overall experience did not convince you to use the full package. Your feedback is important to us as it helps improve both the hop-on hop-off service in Málaga and the quality of our onboard experience.
We used this bus because my husband had a bad back and was struggling to walk, so we thought this would be a good way to get around and see a bit of Malaga, it was rubbish! We came away knowing nothing about the city, the audio didn’t seem to match up with the route very well, I would have liked to know about the history of Malaga, there was plenty of opportunity for the audio description to do that, instead the sights pointed out to us included the cement works! I wish we had just bought a normal bus ticket, save your money and don’t bother with this.

We are truly sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations, especially as you chose it to provide a more comfortable way to explore Málaga due to your husband’s back condition. We understand how important it is in this situation to have a reliable and informative sightseeing experience. We regret that the audio guide did not seem properly aligned with the route and that the content did not provide the historical and cultural insight you were expecting about Málaga. The onboard commentary is designed to highlight the city’s main landmarks and history, so we are disappointed to hear this was not your experience and that certain references felt irrelevant.

We will share it with our local operations and content teams to review synchronization and improve the storytelling of the city’s heritage and key attractions. We are sorry that we did not deliver the experience you were hoping for and appreciate you taking the time to help us improve our City Sightseeing service in Málaga.
Do the complete route first, then repeat where you want to get off. Red route seems the most comprehensive
Hi Susan_F, Thank you so much for your review of your City Sightseeing Málaga Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour 😊🚍 We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and found the full route helpful for getting an overview of the city. It’s great advice to complete the loop first and then decide where to hop off and explore further. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon for another City Sightseeing experience! Best regards, Quality Department
Absolutely awful tour, booked on bus and only travelled to the next stop (castle) got off the hop on hop off bus. We decided to walk down and join at the next stop. Waited in full sun for 1 hour and forty minutes for next bus. When it finally arrived it was full and was not able to board. We then gave up and took a taxi back towards the marina. We complained via customer services who have refused any refund as we used the service. Won’t be using them ever again
I bought the 48-hour tickets on Sunday, May 24, 2026. I bought the tickets at the main Alameda stop. The ticket seller did not provide me with all the relevant information. So I started the trip a bit blindly. That day several museums and the botanical garden were open. I missed those excursions since the following day, Monday, several museums, the green line, and the botanical garden were closed. So unfortunately, I paid for a trip that I did not use. And to make matters worse, the bus left us stranded at the ZAMBRANO station stop, and I had to pay for a taxi to get to the port for the boat trip. Expensive and little time to enjoy. I do not recommend it at all. It is an abuse, and if you file a complaint, they do not care. I hope my opinion helps other people.
Bad service, I bought the tour on 23.05.2026 and the audio with explanation about the sights was not working, only played music all the time. It is no use to take the tour without knowing about the sights. The passage times at the points were not met. My schedule expired and I could not return from where I was, because they did not pass in time. For 3 different times I got on the bus the air conditioning on the lower floor was not working..... I do not recommend.
Oversold overcrowded excessive waiting broken audio players so no guide or info , tried changing between routes get off overcrowded red line for green at 12:10 next bus 2:45...this company used to be great then good now appears just collecting money selling tickets everywhere no clue how many busses needed and they don't care...in malaga slightly better but still just a waste of time...we could've walked the entire route in half the time....avoid this company
