  I just took the Madrid Big Bus tour and I want to especially praise our guide Daniel. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. His commentary was easy to understand and full of fascinating stories about Madrid’s history and culture. One of the best guided bus tours I’ve experienced.

• No hop-on, hop-off - NOT WORTH IT

  Sadly, there is no more hop-on, hop-off option in Madrid. I bought tickets at the main stop and was instructed to get the “free bus” to get to take off point. I had trouble finding the proper bus because it was the wrong side off the street and because it was Sunday tour, many streets/stops closed, so I kept getting redirected. After walking nearly 3 miles to get to the bus, it was disappointing. Fran, the tour guide, wasn’t bad and did very good. But the tour itself is very underwhelming. You’re not going to get good pictures and the 1.5 tour is very shallow. They just point out buildings but very little information. With it not being hop-on, hop-off - not worth the time or money.

  Check if the guide actually speaks English. Our guide obviously thought he could speak English but none of us could understand him. The trip was a complete shambles, waste of time and money.

  Nice way to see the sights at night without walking all around. Hard to take pictures but otherwise great

  The tour lasted 1.5 hours. The meeting area was on the side of Prado Museum. The live commentary/guide Fran was excellent in speaking English and made the trip fun and interesting. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

  Wonderful way to get acquainted with the city. Easy to find, and it was perfect for us traveling with a senior person.

  It doesn’t stop due to Madrid traffic regulations. It’s a very good 90 minutes of touring the City hitting points of interest and historical facts. Definitely worth doing it!

  Top deck seats all wet from overnight rain. Commentary was appalling - the guide spoke very bad English plus the sound system was terrible. On top of that between the spoken bits horrendous music was played at such a loud volume my Apple Watch kept alerting me it was dangerously loud! A total waste of money- shame as it is a magnificent city.

  Very comprehensive. Great history. Ability to cover large territory and some areas busy with traffic easily and safely. Alfaro, our guide, was superb. Hop on/off NOT available and would have improved the experience
