I want to start off by saying that in general the City Sightseeing service is great and I've really enjoyed using it in other cities like Cadiz. I recommend downloading the app to browse the different packages and services. If they have a few museums or attractions you're interested in seeing, it may be worth it to you just for tickets. Now for the rest. TLDR: We spent 3+ hours getting ghosted by these busses before giving up and walking back to our Cruise ship because this service is practically impossible to use. We had ~7 hours ashore after an earlier tour with another company and wanted to check out the Automobile museum. I spoke to one of the City Sightseeing staff at Malaga Park about how to get to the Blue line and she said I could either transfer at Red line stop 1 or get on from a Blue line stop someplace else. They didn't have any printed maps available so I checked their website and the closest Blue line (stop 4) was across the street from a Red line stop, so we decided to 'hop on' the Red line. When the bus arrived, the worker on the street wouldn't let us on because it was too full and said another bus was right behind it. 30 minutes later we squeezed onto another packed bus for our two stops. We would have just walked if she hadn't told us it was right behind the first bus. Blue line stop 4 (Centre Pompidou) is listed on the company's website, but spoiler: IT DOES NOT EXIST. We saw a kiosk with a sign saying they sell tickets, but couldn't find the sign for the stop. Since the bus was supposed to come every 30 minutes we decided to just buy a few snacks at the kiosk and wait to see where it would stop. ~45 minutes later we hadn't seen any buses. I downloaded the City Sightseeing app to look at the schedule and found that THE BLUE LINE ONLY HAS 3 STOPS! Stops 4 and 5 listed on their website and maps do not exist anymore. We walked back to the Red line to take it the whole way round to stop 1 and transfer to the Blue line. We got there a few minutes before a scheduled bus, but didn't see anything. We waited until the next scheduled bus. Nothing. A few minutes after the third scheduled arrival, some City Sightseeing workers arrived and said the next bus was on the way. A few minutes after the 4th scheduled arrival, another packed bus with people standing in the aisles arrived with no room for passengers, so my dad and I gave up on seeing the museum and walked back to the cruise port while we still had time to make it on foot. If I had realized sooner that the bus service was going to be such a mess I would have made other arrangements, but as it stands I spent most of the day waiting at bus stops. I wish I could get a refund, but Google Maps says I rode the bus for 800 meters so I guess that's what a ticket gets you in Malaga.

Very disappointing indeed. Although a commentary was provided by headphones, the trip itself could not have covered more than 2 miles, and it took more than 1 hour and 20 minutes. There were so many stops it felt like more like a glorified public service bus route. For example, the bus hardly spent any time at all on the beautiful promenade, preferring instead to pick up more and more customers from less attractive areas of the outer city. The driver actually got off at one point, and went into a cafe! Very poor value at 25 euros a person, and I wouldn't recommend it.

I would not agree that this open top bus tour is a total waste of time but I think Malaga does suffer because of its layout: the most interesting things to see are actually tucked away and not viewable from the bus. Contrast with somewhere like Barcelona where there is a lot to see without even getting off the bus. For anyone trying to get their bearings on the first day in town then probably recommended but if there are walking tours or even better a food tour always go with those options.

This is the worst city/island tour I have been on. We did the North Tour and gave away our tickets for the South Tour. The tour was Tedious and far too long. Most of the time was taken up doing drop offs at hotels which were far out from the centre of any resorts. Malta is steeped in history but we didn't get to see or hear much on the tour-waste of money
