Too bad the microphone did not work in several places and we had the misfortune that until January 26 there was no way to leave the bus. Too bad this was not mentioned when selling the tickets!' Other than that, the tour was great fun!!!

There were no stops due to Madrid's regulations, but prices are not lowered either and the explanations were neither clear nor very entertaining.

Not being able to get off at the stops you want, in the end you can't see everything well. It was not indicated that the exit was only from Plaza Neptuno, which made us lose time getting there.
