“One of the best hop on hop off bus tours I have taken. Great way to check out the city. Covers all the interesting locations”
Review of Malaga’s $32.44 hop-on hop-off shore excursion, with route details, port tips, sights, timing, value, and honest drawbacks.
“Able to see important sights and get information and history of the city. Prefered when you had guides narrating the tour.”
Review of Cadiz’s hop-on hop-off bus tour, with port access, 14 stops, audio commentary, pricing, timing, and practical cruise-day advice.
“We have used Hopon Hopoff buses all over the world but this is the 2nd time we have had an issue with Viator vouchers; finally got it resolved but it's a pain! My only other issue is they made us change buses, losing our seats, in an effort to keep their buses as full as possible. Otherwise good service, on time and decent commentary.”
Review of Valencia’s five-hour shore tour with Old Town sights, City of Arts and Sciences, and a generous tapas and wine tasting.
