2.00Madrid is a very walkable city with many attractions within just a few blocks of each other. I've used these buses on a few of our vacations and the one in Madrid is unnecessary. We didn't end up using this service at all.
Very good tour of Madrid

5.00Another good experience with the hop-on bus. It gave warnings on stops about petty crime which I’d never heard before elsewhere. It was 40c in August and the plastic seats were scorching. The architecture and various monuments were amazing to see. I visited Retiro park for a short time and returned in the am by train the next morning when it was cooler. The beauty of Madrid’s main stretch and fountains were also on the route I chose. Very good way to checkout the city sights along with the metro and bus.
