Bus tour of Santander - Very pleasant tour with explanations and resolution of doubts. Highlight the professionalism and kindness of the driver Lamberto and Mónica, the guide who accompanied us during the tour of the lighthouse.

Good value and guide - Enjoyed just relaxing listening to the commentary on a comforable bus! Did the whole trip. Stopped off to walk the Magdelena castle and explore the beach. Saw Santander as I never would have on my own. Regular pickups

Bus was very good - We came off the cruise ship and got on board the bus very easily. Our first trip round the headsets were not working for us but we were coming back on later so no issues. Second trip all fine and we got to the summer palace and found out the land train was included in our ticket. Perfect. Heard all the talk on both parts of journey. Well worth it for our day in port at Santandet

Ok if you have heaps of time. - A helpful way to see a beautiful city. But it took a lot longer than expected. We got off once at Magdalena Palace for about 30 minutes and then waited an hour for the next bus. The whole tour took about 4 hours only getting off once. There was quite a bit of waiting sometimes at stops. Also watch out for long hanging branches if you're on the top deck.

Poor - Got off near casino. Went to the beach then had to wait for 1 hour and the bus was full. Waited for the next bus all seats were full so had to stand for the rest of the journey. Kids were bored of waiting in the sun. The app doesn’t work properly, the busses locations aren’t accurate and don’t update often enough. Would not recommend.

All messed up. - There weren’t any. The bus didn’t run, and no one let me know. Evidently the bus only runs on the weekends until June. And even if it did, this Monday was a holiday - they never should have sold me a ticket. Not sure if they will refund me or not. ?

we were robbed! - This tour preys on tourists! They saw us with our luggage and my partner and I paid 56 euros! The tour took nearly 30 mins to leave while the driver tried to rip off more people on the street at every stop. Only a few minutes between stops then more waiting! It took nearly 3 hours to complete a tour that should have taken 45 mins. No prices in display so they charge what they like. Bus was old and dirty and most of the windows are partially covered with a design?! and the small snippets of info that you hear through the headset are offset by the most god awful elevator music. I wish we had read the reviews before getting on. I've been on City tours before and this was the worst experience ever!

Waste of money - I would give 0 stars if possible. I think they only have a bus, maxim 2.Definetly not hop and off ,you have to wait hours for one to arrive.Money wasted as a normal bus ticket is just 1,3 euros and the transport infrastructure is amazing

Avoid - We arrived at Santander. Christina sold us our tickets for 80 euros in cash as she said there was a problem with the card machine. We were told there were 4 buses coming soon , 45 minutes of waiting and no bus. One did come and sailed past , then another arrived but it did not have capacity for all the people waiting in the sun. I asked for a refund and Christina refused and was unwilling to do anything for us . We never did get on the bus because we gave up . Don’t be like me do something better with 80 euros.

Stay clear until they get a grip the service - Took the bus yesterday charged 20 euros each went a couple of stops then we were all told to get off and await another bus which arrived 20 minutes later. Boarded that bus then that driver got off to have a cigarette before leaving. Got off the bus to visit an attraction then caught it again only to find same driver after two stops she got off again for a cigarette whilst we all sat there after 15 minutes another driver took over. What should have been a 40 trip took most of the afternoon. Book on line it will be cheaper I saw the first driver charge some Spanish people a lot less than us.
