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.

Getting in and having special access was fundamental to enjoying the tour and avoiding the long queues at the door. Avoiding the long queues was the highlight of choosing to buy the tickets through the APP, the ease of purchase, the quick turnaround and the communications too. Just one observation: the tour is long and it's practically impossible to do it all in one day. Another important point of this ticket is the possibility of visiting any day within a year and on any day of the week and at any time. However, this is good for those who can be in Madrid for more days and organize their schedule. That's fantastic!

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

    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.

    The Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid is a must-visit for modern art lovers, showcasing masterpieces like Picasso’s Guernica, Dalí’s surreal creations, and Miró’s bold abstractions in a beautifully restored historic building.
