Mine is the best! - My excellent guide. We didn't want to get off the bus to see the attractions, the trip with her is very entertaining. In the second round we will go down to some places.

Excellent Recommended. Live commentary. Great staff. - Excellent. Recommended. Live commentary, so no need for earphones- we prefer live commentary. Friendly and Helpful staff. Good seats and views. Open top but some seats were covered- which we chose. Excellent tour round Madrid, well explained in English and Spanish. Informative and interesting. 90 minutes tour roughly. Great views from top of bus. Staff helped me before trip started by advising where local toilet was. At end driver called us a cab ( we’d only asked where to get one, so very kind and helpful.) Excellent and safe driving throughout.

Great way to see city sites. - Excellent guide and locations checked all the boxes. Especially liked the live commentary instead of earplugs and pre-recorded narrative.

Good locations, some difficulty with English narration - The pass by spots on this trip gave a nice overview of the city. Had some difficulty understanding the guide as she always did a long description in Spanish and then turned to a much shorter comment in English with barely a pause

Don't get on those Anvils! - The trucks do not have air conditioning in a month where it is extremely hot and upstairs there are no covers. Poor of the boys who work for this company since they have to be giving the tour and do not want to talk. This is an injustice to everyone in such a hot month. The competition of the Reds have air and are better qualified. Unfortunately we did not check before purchasing tickets. In short, they are Yonks!

Terrible experience - We had a terrible experience. We waited for a tour bus for well over an hour while (no exaggeration) eight buses from the other tour group drove by. We picked this one because the competitor had so many bad reviews. I didn’t find the tour any better. If they’re both comparable the competitor had a lot more buses in circulation. The guide was very difficult to hear. He pointed out sites but there was no background information. The driver took off before we were seated and my mom and her cane fell into the seat. We got off the bus before we completed the full tour. Waste of money. I sent three emails while waiting trying figure out what was taking so long and no one responded then or after.
