The bus is the perfect way to explore Madrid for the first time, with several different routes. The stops are announced in Spanish, the commentary is clear, and the staff are friendly.

You get a great overview of the city. You can get off and hop back on the bus later. However, on the way back, the French commentary was completely out of sync with where we were in the city (traffic lights...heavy traffic).

There’s no better way to explore Madrid for the first time. The tour’s multilingual commentary is very clear. The stop announcements are only in Spanish, and the stop number is almost inaudible. That’s a shame.

The entire process, from purchasing the tickets to the final stop, was clear and transparent. The information provided is clear. The buses are comfortable, and the staff are very helpful. It was a wonderful experience.

We witness the grand magestic arcs or puertas and structures in the city rotundas. From the tour, we can see the beautiful contrast of both historical and modern landmarks. How awesome is the Plaza de Toros and Museo del Prado. We realized that Madrid is both enjoyable from the Bus point of view and from walking thru the streets. We have a lot of fun.
