We enjoyed the tour very much. We took line 2 (Modern Madrid) and then line 1 (Classic Madrid). We want to congratulate the manager Salvatore. He guided us wonderfully and had a great last minute idea: he suggested us to get off and take line 2 (the back bus) first; this way we could enjoy both lines in a row. Congratulations!

Liked that we were able to see some of the sites in Madrid just being on the bus but wish the hop on hop off version wasn't banned in Madrid right now. We would rather be able to get off at different sites to explore more.
