The bus is the perfect way to explore Madrid for the first time, with several different routes. The stops are announced in Spanish, the commentary is clear, and the staff are friendly.

Impeccable organization, a comprehensive tour, and the perfect option to get off at one stop and get back on at another—even on a bus from a different route. Very friendly and helpful staff The photo exhibition at the Casa Àrabe cultural center was informative (photo attached)

You get a great overview of the city. You can get off and hop back on the bus later. However, on the way back, the French commentary was completely out of sync with where we were in the city (traffic lights...heavy traffic).

There’s no better way to explore Madrid for the first time. The tour’s multilingual commentary is very clear. The stop announcements are only in Spanish, and the stop number is almost inaudible. That’s a shame.

We witness the grand magestic arcs or puertas and structures in the city rotundas. From the tour, we can see the beautiful contrast of both historical and modern landmarks. How awesome is the Plaza de Toros and Museo del Prado. We realized that Madrid is both enjoyable from the Bus point of view and from walking thru the streets. We have a lot of fun.

The stops aren't marked at all, When we arrived at the stop, the meeting point was packed, and within just one (!) hour, only one bus showed up—and it was already full—so we were left standing there again. It was only thanks to the help of two guides (one from Turibus, an outside company, and one named Melina from City Tours) that we were able to find the different tours!
