I liked that they are very punctual, very friendly, the driver was excellent, she was very careful! We were also able to change lines without any problem, I liked that the buses run often and are well organized. We only noticed that one of the devices where the audio guides are connected failed and we had to change places. I also recommend that they clean the inside of the buses more, please, because the rest is great.

Plus points: - always good to have a general view of a city - the 2 routes - historical & modern - are interesting Minuses: - too bad there weren't any intermediate stops so you could get off/climb to visit the sights - not all audio outlets worked properly - staff a bit nitpicky: with QR-Code + validity date, excessive to ask for printed tickets again

It was nice. Good route and nice audios while going around. The only thing I didn't like was that it is named "Hop on Hop off tour" but its a bus without stops, so especially with kids it would have been better to have that option of going down whenever you'd like.

    I arranged the tour hoping to see more about Madrid instead, 2 tours the Historic and the Modern more or less similar. So given the wait time to take them, and the short time you have to tour a city, I definitely would not recommend it.

    Good for getting an overview of the city. However, most of the sights are not so easy to see from the street.

    Liked that we were able to see some of the sites in Madrid just being on the bus but wish the hop on hop off version wasn't banned in Madrid right now. We would rather be able to get off at different sites to explore more.
