I really enjoyed the museums. It’s a great option—this kind of combined ticket. First of all, you skip the lines everywhere and go straight into the museum. Second, being able to choose your own visit date is very convenient. That’s exactly how it turned out for me. I had planned to visit all of them in one day. But the Prado was so interesting that I spent a lot of time there and decided to visit the other museums later. That’s why this ticket option is so convenient

The tour was well-planned, taking in all of Madrid’s main historical landmarks. The guide and the entire staff were very friendly and helpful. The hop-on/hop-off option is very convenient if you want to get off the bus to explore and get back on later. We really enjoyed it.

The single-ticket experience was great—no lines at all, except at the Prado, where you still have to exchange it. I was lucky enough to never have to wait in line since I went on a weekday, even though I was with a child under 18 who needed a free ticket.

At a competitive price, it gives you the chance to use three lines—the blue, green, and red—so for the same price, you get to see three different sections. The staff is courteous and goes out of their way to help you. What can I say? We had a great time.

Really good deal, normally the stadium tour costs much more, by doing a combo we saved quite a bit. We were able to do all three routes on the bus tour and see a lot of the city. I really appreciated the shade on the top of the bus.

The Prado Museum is magnificent. The Reina Sofia is modern art, so I didn't like everything, but the space in front of *Guernica* is big enough for everyone to enjoy it without having to elbow their way through. The audio guide isn’t that interesting—not enough information about the painter, the work, the context, etc.—and too many comments like “magnificent,” “revolutionary,” “outside the box,” etc. Thyssen: Not on par with the other two; a profusion of works by minor artists, with a few minor works by major artists. If you don’t have it included in a package and you’re not a painting enthusiast, it’s best to skip it.

    Tours that let you explore the city. The French commentary is clear, and the staff is very welcoming. What’s missing for that fifth star is the app—specifically, the estimated wait times for the next bus at each stop, which are sometimes accurate and sometimes not at all.
