The chance to discover Madrid while cruising around on the bus, and the 3 scheduled routes: historical, present-day, and modern Madrid. The cleanliness of the city and the bus. Commentary in the language of our choice. Headphones and maps provided. The ability to hop off and hop back on the bus after a visit. A great experience for exploring the city!

Trouble-free entry, exceptional cleanliness... a wonderful, state-of-the-art stadium. Unfortunately, there was no pitch because they were doing some work or needed to set up a different field.

We had a wonderful experience on the Royal Palace tour. The palace was beautiful, full of history, and absolutely fascinating to explore. Definitely worth it!!

The only thing I have to complain about is the skip-the-line tickets that actually weren't... we had to wait in line for over 30 minutes to get in for the visit.

The Royal Palace was truly amazing! I entered without any problems and even skipped the line. Before entering, I watched the changing of the guards — it was very impressive, especially the beautiful horses. 🐎 Every room in the palace was wonderful, from the magnificent ceilings to all the beautiful details and furnishings. I also really appreciated the benches along the corridors, where you can sit down and take a little rest while exploring. After leaving the palace, there was a picturesque view of the cathedral — such a beautiful way to finish the visit.

We comfortably saw the main sights with great commentary. The elevated position on the upper deck also offered fantastic views. Unfortunately, the bus stops were hard to find, and we had to spend the first 20 minutes on the lower deck because there was no room upstairs. Downstairs, unfortunately, due to the design of the bus, we saw absolutely nothing.

Admission on the day was super quick, and we were able to enjoy the changing of the guard that day. The visit to the palace and the weapons museum was excellent.
