Hop on and off Barcelona by red double-decker bus, with 2 routes, audio in 16 languages, Sagrada Família and Park Güell.

Ride Valencia’s hop-on hop-off bus for 24 or 48 hours, 17 stops, and a multilingual audio guide to plan your sights at ease.
“The 1st bus we got on you could barely hear the audio & the 2nd bus was louder but only one port of the 2 seats worked. There is no queuing system so although we arrived at our stop 1st a group of 10-15 students were let on 1st, despite arriving after the rest of the queue of approx 20-30 others. They then sat on single seats .. can’t help selfish people!! The tour itself was great value for money & we enjoyed it.”
Hop-on hop-off Bus Turistic in Barcelona with 24 or 48-hour passes, two routes, audio in 16 languages, and free Wi-Fi.

“Don't forget to pick up a free pair of earphones each when you get on to plug in at your seat which you can then pick your language for the commentary. I would recommend doing a complete circle of the the route first to see everything and then choose where you want to get off and see more of. I would recommend stopping off at stop 2 at the park. We were lucky to be here in the middle of Seville Fair (April Fair) and see the beautiful ladies and gentlemen in flamenco on horse drawn carriages all around the city going to the park. Amazing sights!”
Hop-on, hop-off open-top bus in Palma with a 24-hour ticket, 16 stops, audio guide, and optional Bellver or Spanish Village entry.

“Good way to see the city, downside was can be quite busy and have to wait for a seat”
Two Madrid routes on an open-top double-decker with audio commentary, discount vouchers, and a walking tour. Summer night option too.
“It was a lovely comfotable ride, easy to find the start point, the audioguide was good. Sadly though, in Madrid, the tour is not “hop on hop off”. But nevertheless it was a great way to see the sights!”
Hop-on hop-off double decker buses connect Barcelona’s Gaudí sites, beaches, and Montjuïc, with an optional 1-hour catamaran cruise.
“Poorly planed out. Busses stop for excessive time at some stops. Mere seconds at others. No time given to “transfer” between routes as busses drive away. “Live arrivals” time from the app is groesly incorrect. I’ve been at a stop for nearly 20 minutes and the next service has been 2 minutes away all the time.”
Hop on and ride Malaga’s highlights by open-top bus, with multilingual audio, major museum entries, and big viewpoint payoff in one day.
“We shared a unique story and experience with the VR tour. The guide explains the journey of Malaga in an authentic way. It was interactive and fun! The only suggestion for improvement was that one of us had a blurry VR. However this could come down to a lot of factors, and not necessarily the issues of the VR equipment. That aside we had a lot of fun 💮”
Hop-on hop-off double-decker bus with included walking tours and select attraction entries across Seville’s top neighborhoods and sights.

“High number of people at the port stop, lots of waiting around you need a better system to deal with the cruise days”
Two days in Cádiz by open-top bus, from Cathedral to beaches. Audio guide, free sherry tasting, and discounts for key sights.
