Not what we hoped for

2.00It is a tour of the city. Not a hop-on hop off bus. Don't make the same mistake we did and think it was. The only way to get a good view is if you are up on top. If you happen to be inside the bus, don't expect to see much of anything.
Nice tour

3.00It was OK but not amazing. I have been on several of these bus tours around the world and this one was so so. You need to get there 1.2 hour eatly to get in the line if you want to be on the upper deck!! Even though we had our wlectronic tickets and proof of payment on the viator app, 2 tickets from our party of 4 could not be recognized with their codes so it was a hassle. They said they were having technical difficulties bit… at 9pm there is nobody to help!!!!

4.00The evening tour of Madrid is beautiful. Highly recommend if you go around Christmas time as we saw the lights being hung and it looks amazing.

3.00I couldn't retrieve my tickets. The Viator app an email had link to retrieve tickets, but it didn't work. The local agents could not get them either. Finally, I had Viator resend the tickets. This took an hour. We got stuck in Madrid traffic. It took closed to an hour to go six blocks. This was not the fault of the bus company, but it took away from an otherwise good excursion.

3.00Good for a fast overview of central city. Not very informative and if raining not pleasant and with covered roof you see even less

4.00We can take a tour Moderna and the next History so we have all day to make both trips. A trip takes about 60 to 80 minutes.
Ideal if you want to play race with other turibus

2.00I do not recommend this Enterprise. Not only did they not work in demonstration, without leaving someone from the Enterprise to report it, but the tour was not good. It was going too fast, the recording didn’t match what we were going through and I didn’t even brake to see it from the vehicle.
Great Tour, not Hop On-Hop Off

4.00The ride was good. There are 2 loops. Several points of interest were repeated. Bring your own headsets (brought my Bose). Clean bus, friendly staff. It’s unfortunate the internet directs you to them as “Hop on-Hop off”. In Madrid, it seems to not be allowed and it’s just a continuous ride. Overall, a great way to see the area and get information.
