Málaga Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

  • 145 reviews | 2,216 travellers
    We took all three tourist bus lines: red, green, and blue. The red line was wonderful, and so was the blue line, since it's the same bus. But the green bus doesn't have air conditioning, and since it was August, the top of the bus was unbearably hot.
