Things to Consider
Nowadays, it's actually quite rare for a hop-on hop-off bus tour to have live guides onboard at all times. Most other companies around the world only offer audio guides, so this service is actually quite good.
If you're interested in getting a good overview of the city, this hop-on hop-off tour is a great way to learn about where all the best attractions are located and why they are historically relevant.
Join Gray Line on a magnificent sightseeing trip to Madrid. It is an open-top double decker bus tour equipped with headphones and audio system.

The tour also includes a Map of Madrid and audio guide to lead you through the whole journey making you feel like a voyager in the 21st century, giving you a whole different experience.
- Validity: 1 - 2 Days
- 1-Day Ticket: €25/Adult | €11/Child | €11/Senior
- 2-Day Ticket: €30/Adult | €15/Child | €15/Senior
Gray Line offers their hop-on hop-off service from 10:00 am - 18:00 (6 pm).
The main thing to note with this hop-on hop-off tour is that they do not have a live guide. Although that might be a negative for some travelers, it's worth noting that the audio guide they offer is available in the following 14 languages:
English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Dutch, Catalan, Callego, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, and Euskera.
If you don't speak English or Spanish, this would be the hop-on hop-off tour for your needs. However, if you are looking for a live tour guide, you might want to consider Big Bus instead.
