Please note that the Madrid Hop On Hop Off Tour is now a Madrid Panoramic Tour as the city no longer allows this tour to have multiple stops. Instead of hopping off at each stop, you can now enjoy a non-stop panoramic tour, designed to give you uninterrupted views of the city. Hop on the Madrid City Tour bus, sit back, and enjoy the best 360º panoramic views of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Travel along two carefully planned routes and explore Madrid’s history, art, and architecture without interruptions, all with our hop-on hop-off City Tour bus
