Madrid Panaramic Bus - While in this area you must see Museo de Prado, perhaps have lunch in the museum and enjoy the artwork of the local artists.

It’s NOT a hop-on,... - It’s NOT a hop-on, hop-off bus even though your website and the outside of the buses themselves indicate otherwise. The ONLY pick up point is between the Prado and the Ritz. The info provided tells you that the (blue) historic route pick up point is at Felipe IV monument @ Plaza Oriente. That is INCORRECT.

Good - A great way to see the city, commentary is pre recorded - but good nonetheless.
Takes about 90 minutes (old city tour). We probably wouldn’t have seen so many sights unless on a tour.
Note this is a circular tour - no stops. I understand there are other tours which offer this facility. We knew in advance & happy to sit back & enjoy the sights.
Commentary options is several languages.

Better options - The 48 hour ticket I booked was no longer an option - was not advised by Viator - had to exchange my voucher for a 24 hour one. There is no longer a hop on hop off experience in Madrid

Horrible - Waiting for old city tour is more than 45 minutes, second city tour bus empty but still waited outside.

No hopping on and off! - I have done this sort of bus tour all over the world and it is usually a fantastic event! I was sorely disappointed. Firstly, we were told that the authorities has stopped the bus stopping and letting people on and off - so instead it was just a city tour bus. We opted to continue as we had always had great commentaries and so lots of information and history of the city. We were completely disappointed, the commentary was very very poor and told us very little about anything - there were lots of things we saw and would have liked to know more about. Not a good experience at all.

Beware there are NO stops other than the starting points - Did not tell us that since January they can NOT make any stops along the route. Trying to get a refund since this wasn't useful to me

Don’t take this tour - Boring as anything. Just stuck in traffic for an hour. Bus staff totally ignored passengers and spoke to driver only had her back to everyone the whole time. Just pressed buttons for recorded information and not always at the right time. We didn’t know where to look!! Very frustrating. Seemed like no care for the customers. Would not recommend this tour at all.

Never recommend. - Money doesn't matter, it spends time. First of all, this company does not cover the Korean service. There were hardly any vehicles. Those who don't speak English can't easily get information in various situations. And even English basically doesn't work in so many places where audio is broken. The car is full of garbage and the driver is very unfriendly. Just walk or look for other options. Never glitter. In fact, I had to run this very inefficiently. Very sorry. judgment

Refund - We bought the tickets without being warned that the buses no longer make stops and you can not get off for an hour. I asked for a refund and first they told me to go to the person who sold it to me, then they promised me a refund but then they disappeared. Well done, I congratulate you on your good trickery.
