Ride an open-top double-decker through Madrid’s highlights on two routes, with audio in 14 languages, plus a walking tour and optional night run.
“Convenient way to get a view of the salient spots of the city. Yet, It’s a limited view since the route is limited to the central area. The purchase price of the ticket includes 2 separate bus routes: one focused on the "must-to-know" spots and the other is called "historic tour". To me, they seemed very similar. There are no stops of the bus and one is not allowed to request to get off the bus at any point of interest. You get off the bus at the same starting point.”

“David was a terrific guide! He was engaging and informative, and we learned so much about the history of Madrid. The walking tour was fairly easy. We covered a good amount of ground in 2.5 hours, but it wasn’t too athletic. Toured several historic neighborhoods. David gave us inside info that locals know about where to go for a meal or for entertainment. We have been on many guided tours in different countries and this was one of the best.”
