So much fun - A great way to explore the city. Finding pick up was easy. Guide was informative. I stayed in the bus the whole 90 minutes and you can choose to hop off and back again.

Very interesting explanations - Perfect tour to see the city and make it your own way. You go down, and you can follow the bus with the app and see when the next bus will pass. Very interesting explanations.

Great Tour for First Day in Madrid - The tour is great, in particular if you find a place on the top deck of the bus. You see over a dozen of the major sights of Madrid. The tour guide explains what you are seeing and gives insight into the significance of the sights. This was a tour that I particularly enjoyed.

Great Tour with Lots of History and Interesting Tid Bits! - We learned a lot of history. The guide worked hard to speak English more slowly and enunciate more clearly. In the end she did a fine job and we really enjoyed the tour.

Citytur big bus Madri - I took the 48h ticket from Big Bus Madrid to see the bus center. The first difference I noticed from other buses is that there is no audioguide, but guides on the bus itself that talk about the monuments, in English and Spanish. I picked up some super cool and fun guides, others not so much. I liked this experience most. The time between the buses was 20min. I did not notice more time than that, however, right in the first hours, 09:30 at 1030, the bus filled up very quickly, then I saw that I did not catch anyone else. I found the circuit nice. Finally, I really liked the experience. Another detail, there are pictures and nuances of the city that we will only get by being there on the bus.

Useful tool to orient to city. - Decent way to see the city. Better narration than some others of its type. Tour operator willing to be flexible after Viator tried not to be and refused to modify our booking after we couldn't make initial booking.

Big bus scam - A terrible experience, we were eight friends and bought a Tour of Madrid, which in theory lasted two hours seeing the most emblematic monuments of the city, but it turns out that when we arrived at the Prado museum they stop, in theory a few seconds and soon we are told that we have to get off the bus to which we replied that we would not get off, since that was not our stop. They had to drop us off at the same stop where they had picked us up (Gran Via), we had to call the police to give us a hand and yet they kept insisting that we had to get off. In the end we have a car a bus and we have finished the tour but we have lost more than half an hour. Besides us there were many more tourists, an experience, horrifying and terrible

SCAM, ARMED ROBBERY - We hired a €25 tour in the morning in which they explained that this price was a tour in which we should get on and off at the same stop: Gran Vía, stop 7, and that our tour would be at 16:20, but that the bus passed every 20 minutes, they explained that at 18h this tour ended because the Christmas lighting started. On arrival there was a lady who had been waiting 45 minutes.. bad! No Noe zampa the tour and when he reached the middle, Museo Del Prado the bus stopped indicating the driver that we were stopping a FEW SECONDS and we were continuing. When we had been standing for 10 minutes, they asked us to come down, that the tour was over. We had to call the police, and after more than half an hour, they decided under pressure that the City Tours company would eventually take us to the starting point. Finishing without finishing the tour...... THEY ARE CON ARTISTS. Their bad luck was that we were not defenseless foreign tourists, (that there was also a large group disoriented and not knowing what happened) but Spaniards with bad milk.
