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.

It was very easy to purchase the tickets and redeem them when boarding. I liked the different routes, and the buses had a good frequency. It is indeed easy to get confused with the different tour companies because the buses look very similar.

This tour is one of the most comprehensive ways to explore Madrid. It's wonderful. I highly recommend it for families. The starting point for every bus is near downtown.

I loved the tour; we took it with my parents, who are 80 and 85, and they really enjoyed it. We did all three routes. We preferred not to get off the bus. At the stops, we made all three connections at the starting point.

Enjoyed the the fact that I cold hop off and on for the full duration of my ticket. Saw some beautiful tour sites. The bus cordinators were frendly and helpful. Waiting time was minimal for the next bus which was great.
