During thr heat wave . The air conditioning is not very effective and seating in the back is like seating inside a broiler. You cant not see anything at all. I understand it is beyond their control but should uave more buses so people are not cramped so much
Dear Lauro, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your City Sightseeing Palma de Mallorca experience. We are sorry to learn that the tour did not meet your expectations. We understand that travelling during a heatwave can be uncomfortable, especially when buses are busy. We appreciate your comments regarding the onboard comfort and capacity, as feedback such as yours is invaluable in helping us review and improve our service.
I typically do hoho in most countries I travel to. This was a 90 minute journey in the hot sun, although informative it needs to be a bit shorter. Bare in mind most museums and some attractions are closed on a Monday. I wanted to do the boat trip as part of the package however they didn't inform me initially that it finishes at midday. Overall it's ok to do if you're in palma and want to get an overview however it's not good value for money.

Kind regards, The City Sightseeing Team
A nice informative audio guide - there is no in-person guide - and a comfortable journey. Unfortunately, the live tracking did not work correctly and the buses did not stick to timetable so we were left guessing as to when the next bus would be. One of the stops seemed to have been moved without the maps being updated, and one stop was left out altogether. On the final bus of the day several stops were skipped without us being informed by the driver. Sadly this undermined the value for money.

We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on board in the future and deliver the high standard of service that City Sightseeing strives to offer. Kind regards, The City Sightseeing Team
I thought this was the perfect way to see Palma in the heat. We had a bus with a shade drawn up on the top level. Plenty of air flow. The audio played relaxing music most of the time. It was hard to tell when it stopped and what stop it was. But we and most people just road the entire route.
Thank you Marla for sharing your experience with City Sightseeing Palma de Mallorca! We're delighted to hear that our Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour was a comfortable way to explore Palma, especially during the warm weather.

The tour was okay. The loop the bus took did not show a whole lot of points of interest. It mainly drove through old and new neighborhoods.

A tour of Palma to discover points of interest. You can get on and off at each of the stops. You can see the city from another perspective and learn a little more about its history. The ticket can be combined with a visit to the Cathedral and costs 39 euros.

También nos complace que valorara la flexibilidad de nuestro servicio Hop-On Hop-Off y la opción de combinar el billete con la visita a la Catedral. Esperamos volver a darle la bienvenida muy pronto para seguir descubriendo nuevos destinos con nosotros. Un cordial saludo, Quality Department
Covers all signicant sites with ear piece narration in multiple languages. Good Spanish guitar and piano music between sites. Driver very accommodating. Online fare is less than purchase onboard.

Good way to get around Palma. The narrated fun facts in different languages served us well, since we were traveling with my mother-in-law who prefers Spanish, while my kids preferred English. The one thing I'll say is I wish they had more buses going around. They only had 3 going when we visited, so there was more waiting around to get back on at the stops we made.
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback Barel. We are glad to hear that your City Sightseeing Palma de Mallorca experience was a convenient way to explore the city and that the multilingual audio commentary in Spanish and English worked well for your family. It’s great to know that the hop-on hop-off bus tour allowed everyone to enjoy the visit in their preferred language. At the same time, we are sorry to hear about the waiting times you experienced due to the service frequency during your visit. We understand how this can affect the overall experience, and your comment will be shared with our local operations team in Palma to review capacity and improve service availability. Next time visiting Palma de Mallorca, we recommend our boat tour, exploring the medieval Bellver Castle or open-air village Poble Espanyol, aguided visit to the Museu Marítim Mallorca or steping back in time at the Arab Baths. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our service.
I would not share our experience with anyone . I am very disappointed that at 4:30 pm a tour bus did not arrive as told. We ended up paying $35 for a taxi to take us back to the port. I always use Viator and this is the first mishap.
Thank you for sharing your feedback Carol. We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with City Sightseeing Palma de Mallorca, particularly regarding the scheduled departure that you were expecting at 4:30 pm. We fully understand how frustrating it must have been to rely on the timetable and then have to arrange alternative transport at your own expense. This is not the level of service we aim to provide with our hop-on hop-off bus tour, and we will immediately pass your comments to our local operations team in Palma for investigation. We appreciate you taking the time to inform us, as it helps us identify issues and improve reliability for future passengers.
