Malaga Shore Excursion: City Sightseeing Malaga Hop-On Hop-Off Tour
Malaga, Spain
No matter what cruise ship you arrive on, this is the perfect do-it-yourself shore excursion in Malaga. While in port, explore the capital of Costa del Sol with this one day ticket aboard a City Sightseeing open-top, double-decker bus. You’ll see all the main sights of Malaga as you hop-on and hop-off 14 conveniently located stops around the city. The nearest stop to the cruise port is Paseo del Parque (stop 6).
With great views from the top of the bus, strategically placed stops and an interesting commentary, this truly is the best way to see the sights of Malaga.
Birthplace of Picasso, Malaga boasts pretty streets, leafy boulevards and lush gardens. Find out why the city's cathedral is called La Manquita - the one armed lady! Hear all about the old palace fortress and its two rings of walls, and of course you can't miss the Picasso Museum! You'll get the chance to see all of this on your hop-on hop-off tour of Malaga.
You can hop on and off this City Sightseeing open-top, double-decker bus as many times as you like. There are 14 stops, and the entire route takes approximately 90 minutes. The bus departs every 30 minutes from each stop. Tickets are valid for 24 hours from first use.
This excursion is located within a 10-minute walk to the cruise port, so you determine the time you return to your ship in Malaga. Please allow yourself ample time to enjoy the excursion and ensure your timely return to the port. This excursion is not covered by our worry-free policy.
Less music on audio and more information about Malaga would make it great

Bus was waiting near Lighthouse and we were able to load with our paper documents, tour included 3 highlights for our day the Fort and observation Fort and the Plaza and home of Picasso. Not enough time to completed the full tour due to cruise line time restrictions, great day.

used it just for transport
Review by: Lynne W, October 2017
Audio fluctuated between broken and intermittent. The driving was not smooth or slowed by the points of interest. Huge queues to get on the bus. Lots of roadworks._br/_ I saw more by foot after I got off!
Review by: bill_hk_88, May 2017
Really enjoyed the hop-On and Hop-Off bus. Great way to see Malaga for the first time. Audio headsets provide non-stop information about the sights you are seeing. They were also available in several languages.
Review by: Ruth W, May 2017
We enjoyed the tour very much. However, the boarding process took at least 30 min. In future, I would walk to the next boarding stop, which was simply across the street, and board there. We had purchased our tickets online which was very easy to do. Thank you Viator.
Review by: Rebecca A, May 2017
Viator never returned my emails of which I asked the questions of where we had to go to get on the hop on hop off bus. The lines were always very long even when we had bought the tickets on line. The only advantage is you save a few bucks but they over sell and the waiting under the sun was not fun.

Fun. Love Malaga
Review by: redldebug, January 2017
We enjoy the hop on hop off as we get a feel for what we want to see. It is easy to get off and then back on.

The journey is like tike travel to centuries.. perfect for family with kids of one day outing on bus to have an overview of the city with limited timeframe
Review by: Gillian M, November 2016
This is a good way of taking a trip around Malaga
Review by: LindaTMK, November 2016
The only way to travel and explore this fabulous city! Easy, convenient and inexpensive.....
Review by: LindaTMK, November 2016
This is a must see city....The hop on and off bus is the way to go....you get an audio tour and get to stop anywhere the bus stops...it was easy and convenient and way less expensive than the cruise ship excursions....
Review by: Gary C, October 2016
This was the best way to see the beautiful city of Malaga.
Review by: TM, October 2016
Nice quick way to tour the city to get an overview of Malaga. From the cruise port, the Picasso Museum is within walking distance as is the beach, so we took the bus tour and then decided to walk to the other areas.
Review by: Peggy G, October 2016
We loved the Malaga Hop On Hop Off Tour bus. IOne of the stops was extremely close to where our ship was docked.
Review by: Diane, September 2016
This trip was great. Very informative and very helpful.
Review by: Rosalie, August 2016
This trip is worth doing. We went around twice to fully hear everything and to get photos from both sides of the bus. What a great view from up the top looking over Malaga. Very informative and the stops were well positioned with not a lot of time wasted. Think we learnt more about the city than those on private tours. The only downside was having to pay five euro each for six of us for a shuttle from the ship to the town to catch this bus when we had already purchased this tour for the six of us from Viator. Still I do recommend this.
Review by: Rob, August 2016
Just love this way of seeing a city quickly when you only have a day to do so. Very good commentary.
Review by: eleanor.castillo, August 2016
Our favorite means of transportation throughout the city! Guides and drivers are always very nice.

The bus was fine, but the city is totally walkable and we only rode the bus for a short time because everything was literally walking distance.
Review by: PETER F, July 2016
This tour provided a quick overview of some key places - just as it promised!_br/_ On an exceptionally hot day, riding on the top deck was very refreshing when _br/_ we were moving - ideal, too, for cameras! Thank you!
Review by: Jeffrey S, July 2016
Busses were old, audio equipment did not function.
Review by: tommyboy32943, June 2016
Unfortunately, after one stop a mother with two kids sat behind us. They were not interested in the tour one bit. The bus was full so we couldn't change seats. The kids were loud all through the tour and we missed most of it. I'm sure we would of enjoyed our day if not for this experience with the kids.
Review by: Steven H, June 2016
Great value and allows you to see almost everything.
Review by: Janice W, May 2016
We had a Hop Off Hop On Bus tour and the recorded comments were not available as the system was not working. Be sure the system is working before the bus leaves its terminal.
Review by: Marian E H, May 2016
Don't walk! Take the bus! The best way to see this gorgeous city! Not too far from the pier. You do have to walk a little way. Buses come on time. Easy to use.
Review by: Gary L, May 2016
Good way to get around to all of the tourist sites.
Review by: Katherine F, May 2016
I am disabled and use a motorized scooter and I was traveling alone with my 82 year old mother. The plus about this tour was that the bus stop was conveniently located near the ship. I just stayed on the bus and did a complete circle trip and feel like I really saw Malaga. The bus driver was very kind assisting me on and off the bus. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Review by: Jasper S, April 2016
The route was very short and the stops were very long. We were stopped motte than we were going!
Review by: Suzie, April 2016
Didn't take you to very many places that were worth seeing. The city itself was full of rubbish due to a strike of some kind so no-one even bothered to get off the bus
Review by: Kwanda T, March 2016
This was the best way to explore since we were only in port for a few hours. We saw all the important stuff and had a great time.
Review by: Margo, February 2016
HOHO is the only reasonable way to get an overview of a city. I had not been there in years and it was fun to see the new and old side by side. We spent over an hour at the Gibralfaro castle - wonderful views from the ramparts and a quite lovely small museum.
Review by: Ron, November 2015
This is a great service forthis city
Review by: Thomas N, September 2015
It was fine. We saw all the sites. Only problem was the sound system on the bus. Very erratic
Review by: nhansen, September 2015
Tour was good, however the audio was cutting out, and very static. Hard to hear, or understand.
Review by: Helen M, August 2015
A must when in Malaga making it easier to get around this big city seeing all the major points of interest and giving the tourist a great overview of the centre of town.
Review by: Sherry W, August 2015
This was an excellent HOHO tour. Make sure you take your paper voucher Viator specifies you need to do that. From where our ship was docked, it was very easy to get to the HOHO bus. We got off the ship, walked thru the building, crossed the street and headed for stop 7 which was at the lighthouse. We took the HOHO all the way around first and noted places that we would like to get off. The entire trip around was about 60 - 80 minutes depending on traffic. Recommend getting off at stop 13 or 5 - the 2 stops are across street from each other. That is where park is. It is a nice place to walk around and there are bathrooms. Malaga is a lovely city - very walkable, tropical and quite interesting. It was pretty warm so sunscreen is a must. Might want to take an umbrella to keep the sun off. A few of the stops required an entry fee to see more than just the outside of the attraction. The buses seemed to run ever 20 - 30 minutes.

We really enjoyed our malaga hop on hop off tour the commentary and travel stops were perfect
Review by: Nailesh P, June 2015
its a good one day tour. however they spend two hours collecting passengers in the morning and dropping them back to their hotels in the evening. immigration checks can sometimes take very long.
Review by: Patricia Q, June 2015
The route for the bus was not that interesting and listening to insipid commentary through cheap headphones was not what I expected. I've done HOHO buses previously this is not one I would recommend.
Review by: Martine K, April 2015
Not enough buses. Had to wait a long time in the afternoon.
Review by: ken, April 2015
earbuds did not work after multiple attempts, disorganized, save your time and money.
Review by: Judith A, April 2015
Excellent view of most of Madiera. We really enjoyed the green line trip to the small fishing village.
