4/5
Plus points:
- always good to have a general view of a city
- the 2 routes - historical & modern - are interesting
Minuses:
- too bad there weren't any intermediate stops so you could get off/climb to visit the sights
- not all audio outlets worked properly
- staff a bit nitpicky: with QR-Code + validity date, excessive to ask for printed tickets again

It was nice. Good route and nice audios while going around. The only thing I didn't like was that it is named "Hop on Hop off tour" but its a bus without stops, so especially with kids it would have been better to have that option of going down whenever you'd like.

ould have been a great tour but there were no stops - unfortunately also no real visible info prior bying the tickets. That's a huge dissatisfaction for some of the spots we would have liked to visit a bit longer and continue the tour later which was not possible - but the tickets were already bougt.

The tour had only 1 stop , start and this bus have no stop all other city s I can hop on and hop off but , but not in Madrid . After the tour I took a tuk tuk and it stopped at some of the sights. I was able to get out and look at everything and then continue on. That wasn't possible with you. I'm used to hop on and hop off. I've experienced Barcelona, Rome, Genoa, Naples, Paris... differently.

Took the panoramic tour solo and honestly it was the best way to get a feel for Madrid on my first day. I snagged a seat up top (get there early for the best spot!) and just soaked in the city. Loved cruising by the Palacio Real—looked even grander from above. Audio guide was chill, not too much info, just right. Weather was kind to me, sunny but breezy. If you hate walking loads, this is your move. Only bummer—no snacks on board, so bring ur own!

Worst experience ever. Roads and routes closed due to a protest but the company didn't inform us. All stops where we were to get the bus were closed and there was no one to help. After over an hour we found a lady who sent us to the fifth stop on the tour as it was open. We then waited another 40 mins. Once in the bus, you couldn't hear the guide nor did we see much due to the route. Basically we rode the bus from stoplight to stoplight. Worst tour I've ever taken.

good service, they could improve it giving a moment to take pictures of the places where they take us, and it should start a little later to be able to see the places illuminated.

I visited the Royal Palace on July 7 at 11:30 am. Those who had not purchased tickets online had to stand in a long line under a scorching summer sun with temperatures above 30°C.
I, on the other hand, entered directly by skipping the line!!!

The place was beautiful but the only thing I did not like was the entrance, very unorganized, actually the people who did not buy tickets in advance were able to move faster in the line than us that did a reservation and buy tickets before.

Aug 2025Verified booking
The skip-the-line part was great! Security checks still took ~10 minutes, but the advance ticket holder line was much shorter than those trying to buy same-day tickets. The armory was closed, which based on the recommended times per section, reduced our time there by 40%, but there wasn't a reduction in ticket price. It would have been nice to know this in advance so we could adjust our plans accordingly. I also read reviews about how beautiful the gardens were, but they weren't part of the ticket (because they are free), but also not accessable from the inside of the palace. It would have been an additional 20 minute walk to get to an entrance to the garden.

You could enter at any time you wanted, the line for those who had tickets was very long and the line for those who did not have tickets was empty and they entered much faster than us. It didn't matter what time you were scheduled to visit because you had to get in line.

The truth that legend is a great pass, I recommend it 100×100, however the Santiago bernabeu I was quite disappointed because they direct you and practically force you to the photos that they do and tell you that it is part of the bernabeu tour being clear money and more money, now if you go to see the history of the beginning and club and others that is what I most focused on the phrases on the walls and trophies could cope and then see the field in works because the truth I did not like it.

I really value the experience we had with Headout as this was our first time we did a tour buying e tickets, normally in the past we went through paying in cash at the same place, I know this sounds weird and old fashioned but i didn't catch the bridge between paying in cash and now doing the same online...I'm 51 years old, soccer lover as most of LATAMs and trust me that our visit to Bernabeu was an unforgettable experience, totally recommended...but doing this with Headout was just a perfect experience...for sure we will take it again...hoping in a near future, actually...just a question...do you have any planned tours at South America ? will be glad to hear from you, best wishes !

Getting in and having special access was fundamental to enjoying the tour and avoiding the long queues at the door. Avoiding the long queues was the highlight of choosing to buy the tickets through the APP, the ease of purchase, the quick turnaround and the communications too.
Just one observation: the tour is long and it's practically impossible to do it all in one day. Another important point of this ticket is the possibility of visiting any day within a year and on any day of the week and at any time. However, this is good for those who can be in Madrid for more days and organize their schedule. That's fantastic!

Plus points:
- always good to have a general view of a city
- the 2 routes - historical & modern - are interesting
Minuses:
- too bad there weren't any intermediate stops so you could get off/climb to visit the sights
- not all audio outlets worked properly
- staff a bit nitpicky: with QR-Code + validity date, excessive to ask for printed tickets again

We started at Tysenn. Everything went very smoothly, the accreditation and the entrance. Not so in the Pardo (the second visit) where there was the main queue and a second shorter queue (20' wait) to accredit the QR code. With the Reina Sofia we finally had a second shorter queue, but as there were less visitors there were a couple of minutes of waiting.

The audio tour was not great. Some historical buildings were not even mentioned!! Hard to follow which buildings were being talked about. Definitely not worth 26 euros - more like 10

I had to stand in line for the ticket which was fine, but I did not have e the audio guide and the museum told me the ticket did not include audio.

It was nice. Good route and nice audios while going around. The only thing I didn't like was that it is named "Hop on Hop off tour" but its a bus without stops, so especially with kids it would have been better to have that option of going down whenever you'd like.

ould have been a great tour but there were no stops - unfortunately also no real visible info prior bying the tickets. That's a huge dissatisfaction for some of the spots we would have liked to visit a bit longer and continue the tour later which was not possible - but the tickets were already bougt.

Plus points: - always good to have a general view of a city - the 2 routes - historical & modern - are interesting Minuses: - too bad there weren't any intermediate stops so you could get off/climb to visit the sights - not all audio outlets worked properly - staff a bit nitpicky: with QR-Code + validity date, excessive to ask for printed tickets again

I really had the bar quite high coming from Tenerife, but it left me very disappointed by the lack of care in the park in the common areas, lack of sensitivity and professionalism of the park workers with the treatment of the public and the lack of cleanliness of the toilets. For me it does not deserve another visit.
