Why book this activity
Choose this ticket when flexibility matters more than a fixed guided itinerary. You can use the bus as a sightseeing loop, get off for the old town or beach, then continue later without having to understand several local transport routes. It is particularly useful for first-time Las Palmas visitors, cruise passengers with a day in the city, and travellers staying near Santa Catalina or Las Canteras who want to combine the beach with Vegueta and other central sights. Multilingual commentary adds context while you travel, and the current buses are marked wheelchair accessible.
Our take
The strongest use case is a one-day Las Palmas overview. The full loop is only about 1 hour 15 minutes, but the value comes from getting off and reboarding rather than treating it as a panoramic ride only. At €25, it makes most sense if you plan to use several stops or want the commentary and included extras; if you only need a single ride between two neighbourhoods, ordinary city transport will usually be the more economical choice. The operator currently lists 11 stops and service roughly from 10:00 to 17:00, but it also warns that Stop 8, Muelle Deportivo, is temporarily out of service, so check the current route map on the day.
Who is it for
Best for first-time visitors to Las Palmas, cruise passengers, short city-break travellers, families who prefer a simple sightseeing framework, and no-car visitors who want to combine Santa Catalina, Las Canteras and the old-town area in one day. It also suits travellers who value audio commentary or need a wheelchair-accessible sightseeing option.
Who should skip it
Skip this if you only need point-to-point transport, already know Las Palmas well, or plan to spend the whole day in one compact area such as Las Canteras or Vegueta. A normal city bus or taxi may be more efficient for a single journey. Travellers expecting an island-wide Gran Canaria tour should also choose another product: this route stays within Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
What to expect
Activate the ticket and board at any operating City Sightseeing stop on the Las Palmas route. The current operator route has 11 stops and runs through the main visitor zones, including Parque Santa Catalina, El Corte Inglés, Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, Pueblo Canario, Vegueta/Catedral, San Telmo, the port area, Poema del Mar and Las Canteras.

If you remain on the bus for the full circuit, the normalized product duration is about 1 hour 15 minutes. Most travellers will get better value by hopping off: for example, use Santa Catalina for the port and nearby attractions, Vegueta for the historic centre, and Las Canteras for beach or promenade time.

The onboard audio commentary is currently available in eight languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish. The current Tiqets listing also shows live-guide languages including English, German, French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.

The current ticket lists Elder Museum admission, El Corte Inglés parking near Stop 2 from Monday to Saturday, an Aloe Vera gift and a Perfume Canario gift among its included extras. Operator promotions and stop availability can change, so treat the booking confirmation as the authority for the exact extras attached to your ticket date.
Before you go
The ticket is valid for 24 hours after activation, so start it when you are ready to use the route rather than too early in the day.

City Sightseeing currently lists service from approximately 10:00 to 17:00. Frequency and stop availability can change with traffic, events and operational conditions. The operator currently marks Stop 8, Muelle Deportivo, as out of service until further notice.

You can board at an operating stop rather than being tied to one fixed departure point. Parque Santa Catalina is one of the most practical starting points for visitors staying near the port or Las Canteras.

The current product is wheelchair accessible and supports smartphone tickets with instant delivery. The current cancellation window is 24 hours before the booked date.

This is a Las Palmas city sightseeing route, not a tour around the whole island of Gran Canaria.

Comparison
Choose this hop-on hop-off ticket over ordinary city buses when you want a visitor-oriented route, commentary and the freedom to stop at several sightseeing areas during one day. Choose ordinary public transport if you already know exactly where you are going and only need one or two journeys. Choose a guided walking tour if your priority is detailed history in Vegueta rather than citywide mobility. And choose a Gran Canaria island excursion if you want mountains, villages, Maspalomas or other destinations outside Las Palmas: this product is deliberately a city route, not an island circuit.
Reschedule and cancellation policy
Cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the activity.
