Málaga Tours
Bus tours
The Málaga Tour is a distinctive, red, open-top, double-decker bus providing a hop-on, hop-off service around the city center every 30 minutes, calling at all the main points of interest. It provides a commentary in various languages though the quality of this, in English at least, is poor.
