Tom_H, Nov 2025
Stopped for a whole 3 seconds at one stop. No cameras to see us or no stop button. But we just got off once it turned around. But it was lame

Good experience

Pete_A, Oct 2025
Typical hop-on hop-off bus experience. This bus in Cadiz, Spain was clean and the drivers were friendly. The buses ran on time and had no problems finding the bus stops.

Horrible dont waste your time or money!!!!

Christian_H, Oct 2025
Horrible dont book... we purchase our tickets months before coming only to find out they are cheaper if you buy once off boat cause the cruise line pushes it and everyone's does it so the line was over 2 hours long and you still had to wait even if you prebooked ( not fair if you ask me ) and you can't get on other stops till you have gotten the card they won't give you unless you wait in that very very very long line.. need less to say option was to waste most of our time in a line and not see much cause by the time you get on no time to hope off at a stop and explore.or you won't see everything.. sooo we wasted our money and walked around.. Also days before started messaging this company about not able to access our tickets and noooooo reply good thing viator was able to help but should have know how much this company cared about there costumer service with their lack of response. But they sure responded back quickly with a nooo when I asked for a refund 🙄

Response from Host, Oct 2025

The bus gets you around...

David_P, Oct 2025
The bus gets you around town but doesn’t give u any great chance to get photos. You have to get on and off at stops to get any good pics. Secondly if u come on a cruise everyone is trying to get on at beginning stop so took over an hour to even get on the bus. Kinda expensive for what you get but the narrative on the headphones is informative of the area history.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello David, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the narrative on the headphones informative. We understand that crowded stops, especially during cruise days, and limited photo opportunities from the bus can be frustrating. Your comments are valuable, and we’ll share them with our team to see how we can improve the experience for future guests.

Book at the location to avoid a suprise.

John_O, Oct 2025
It was a waste of time to prebook this with Viator. The cost is exactly the same as turning up an booking at the bus stop. On the day our cruise arrived, we proceeded to Stop 2 (adjacent to the cruise terminal) to find that only 6 of the 14 stops were operational. There was a sailing event in the old town and the old town was off limits. Essentially the 6 stops consisted of 2 at the port, 3 hotel pick up type stops in the new town (nothing to see) and a ride adjacent to a beach. In 20 minutes. all done. For €27 Euro!. Of course , if we had known we would not have booked. On the day you could have the shorthened trip for half price but we had pre booked so we were stuck. We ended up walking through all the old town. A tiring day. So my advice. DO NOT book here in advance. There is simply no advantage apart for saving maybe 3 minutes in a queue.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi John, we’re sorry to hear about your experience with City Sightseeing Cádiz. Unfortunately, special events can sometimes affect the availability of certain stops, and we understand how disappointing it must have been to have so few stops operational. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our Cádiz team to explore ways to improve communication about temporary route changes. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Consider what your doing first before booking.

James_G, Sep 2025
We did this coming off the cruise ship. We were made to walk to the bus stop where 100s of people were in line on the side of the road. I think it was about 1.5 hours before we were off and running. The tour was fine. If you want to visit historic sights it would probably be worth the money. If your going to the cathedral, shopping, and eating...... all that is a short walk from the cruise port.

Good exprience.

Allyson_M, Jul 2025
The guide, Hazim, and Abdul the driver were very courteous and friendly. We drove around the relevant points of interest and the commentary was good. I declined the camel ride as I have already had that experience and didnt wish to repeat it. The visit to the Kasbah and Medina were amazing. I had expressed what I wanted to purchase and was taken there. Though the path through the Medina was very steep and difficult terrain for me as I use a walking stick, Hazim was very helpful in that he held my arm and assisted me through many parts to allow me to continue. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and the experience. Thank you Hazim and Abdul.

Be prepared

Roy_S, Jul 2025
We have used Hopon Hopoff buses all over the world but this is the 2nd time we have had an issue with Viator vouchers; finally got it resolved but it's a pain! My only other issue is they made us change buses, losing our seats, in an effort to keep their buses as full as possible. Otherwise good service, on time and decent commentary.

Carnival!

Pat_H, Mar 2025
We took the hop-on, hop-off bus around town, then walked downtown to join all the revellers celebrating Carnival. This was probably the best day of the year to visit Cadiz.

Great tour, handy to cruise port

Lovely tour around the city. Plenty of central stops and the views from the top of the bus are great.
