A beautiful start to learning about art in Madrid. The museums and galleries in this city are many-I couldn't help but start with these three fabulous museums, which collect many of the world's most famous works and also host very interesting temporary exhibitions. With the pass, I didn't have to stand in long lines and could visit the museums when it was most convenient for me-the pass lasts for a year. There is also a small savings compared to buying the 3 separate tickets.

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

    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.
