A great experience, excellent treatment by the staff, with some very nice exhibition samples, which are totally worth seeing. The museum's decoration, colors and textures make the experience sensory and positive in contrast to the artist's works on display in addition to his belongings

Great city tour. Unfortunately, the automobile museum was not included in the promised price. The Automobile Museum has already informed the Citytour about this umpteen times. So we had to pay a considerable additional amount for the museum. But it has paid off very well. Really worth seeing

Sjoukje was an excellent tour guide. She took us up the picturesque hilly path towards the alcazaba and I'm glad she did because it's a long climb. Definitely recommend if you're in Malaga

Really easy to use app, buses were on time, good commentary and very helpful drivers, I am disabled and had no access problems as the buses are well equipped

Essential visit in Malaga. In the square in front the statue of Picasso.
