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.

We enjoyed the tour very much. We took line 2 (Modern Madrid) and then line 1 (Classic Madrid). We want to congratulate the manager Salvatore. He guided us wonderfully and had a great last minute idea: he suggested us to get off and take line 2 (the back bus) first; this way we could enjoy both lines in a row. Congratulations!

Everything very clear and complete. Only negative note are the fact that certain museums were free certain days and obviously it was not marked, so I could have saved money. However, I did not queue and enjoyed in full freedom of time and schedule the experiences.
