Always use Hop on Hop off buses - Great way to familiarize with a new city. We always use the HOHO bus on our first day in a new city.

Awesome routes! - This was a great buy!!! The routes were complete and it stopped in pretty much every landmark and attraction. We purchased the 48-hr but we didn’t do any of the museums so we were able to do almost both routes in one day - once we understood that historic and modern routes have different stops, we got rolling!!! FYI The stops are the same as the regular bus - Air conditioner and covered upper level was a plus in a sunny and hot hot HOT day. Would absolutely do it again!

Ok - maybe try other options next time - Ok overview of Madrid however, many audio ports did not work. There are 2 other companies that seem to have more options.

Nice view, no sound - We took this tour on 5/10/2024. We tried 4 different seats and the ear buds did not work in any of them. Unfortunate that we could hear nothing about what we were seeing. Really - this is something that should be operational on a tour bus that charges you for it. Our bus stopped for 20+ minutes at one stop. Driver didn’t let anyone on and 4 other Madrid City Tour red busses passed us by. However, we enjoyed the beautiful day and the city’s architecture but noted to self to never take one of these on the weekend. Too crazy busy. There was no way we were going to exit along the way and expect to get back on.

Take another company - Lousy tour. They don't explain or they're out of time. Guide only charges ticket and warns stops. Unkind. Disappointing. He says it happens every 10 min and it got to be 40, full of people trying to take place.

Oh no... - Absolutely horrible. Time of day is not suggested due to traffic. We could not finish our tour because of a parade. We were picked up at The four Seasons and dropped off in a less than desirable area right at 730pm. Not my idea of a good time nor my best use of my money👀😳

Madrid City Tours do not deliver on their committed service. DO NOT USE - I waited at bus stop 7 outside Starbucks from 11.30 to 12.50. During this time NO BUS arrived!!! There was simply no service. It was a hot day to stand in the sun for 100 minutes. Traffic was heavy but 9 other tour buses stopped from competing companies. Do not use these people. They are thieves!!!!
