Very well organized and interesting
View original review in French
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

Good explanations of all the sights. Just too bad there is no hop in hop off while it is advertised as such

I had never been to Madrid, so I booked the bus tour on-Line. No problem getting on the bus , Everything pleasant and I got to see Madrid with the two bus tours.
View original review in Italian
It was nice to be able to see Madrid above street level because then you really see how beautiful the buildings are. The tour itself was not very fascinating little was told about the history of the city or certain places, just which architect designed it. I would have liked to hear a little more.

we booked the tickets online ...it was super easy to find the buses..and we took old tour first .stopped for lunch .then took new tour... it wascwell organized and the audio guide worked really well. We enjoyed everything we saw..thankyou !
I bought the tickets thinking I'd be able to get on and off at the places I wanted (HOP ON/OFF), but all I got was misleading advertising. The place to catch the bus was also not the most central or suitable for those on foot. It was worth the driver giving me some tips on how to get around Madrid by bus for free.
View original review in Portuguese
The activity itself is great. The problem is the lack of complete information about the service. IT'S NOT HOP ON HOP OFF. You can only get on and off the bus at a single stop.
View original review in Portuguese
The ride and the audio guide were very good. What was not good was that there was no indication at the time of booking that there are currently no more hop-on hop-off tours in Madrid, only panoramic tours without stops. It was therefore not possible to get on the bus near our hotel as we had intended, so we had to ask around and walk to the starting point at the Prado MUSEUM.
View original review in German
None warned me that the bus was no longer hop-on hop-off, so one could no longer get off at each stop and quin di could only get on from a predetermined starting point. This caused us considerable inconvenience
View original review in Italian
THE +: headphones worked well, feedback OK LES: starting point very difficult to find no stops, two complete routes with no stops at all
View original review in French
It's a nice route by bus. Great to be able to see everything sitting down like that. Unfortunately, there was no option to leave the bus during the tour, so hop on hop off was out of the question. We understood that this has to do with the permit not being issued by Madrid at this time. In itself not a problem, but not known in the app where we bought the tickets and then it's still disappointing

Very interesting tour - the guide was professional and told the history of the mosque in an exciting and authentic way!

Visiting the Royal Palace of Madrid was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Spain. This was a great experience and the tickets really did help in skipping the long lines to purchase tickets on side. There was still a bit of waiting involved ahead of security screening but it wasn't very long at all. It's Europe’s largest functioning royal palace, with over 3,400 rooms! While the Spanish royal family no longer lives there, it’s still used for official ceremonies. The royal banquet hall was especially impressive. We were surrounded by lavish gold detailing, frescoed ceilings, velvet walls, portraits, musical instruments and so much more. The Throne and Porcelain Rooms were my favourites. It truly felt like stepping into a different world, one of unimaginable wealth and grandeur. I was positively surprised that they now allow visitors to take photos! Highly recommended
A visit to the Royal Palace is a must if you are in Madrid. I loved seeing the spectacular changing of the guard event. The Palace rooms are grand.
I loved this palace, I had a great experience there enjoying all the rooms, walkings outside. the audioguide is very helpful with interesting information. I hope to come back there one day!
Superb, a must do, queues not too long and wasn't too busy inside

Great experience, really worth of what you paid.
It was great! The palace is wonderful, you need to see it!
Very nice experience, didn't have any issues with tickets or our line. Totally recommend
It's a beautiful place, however the signage to enter should be a lot more clearer, also the entrance goes extremely slow for pre purchase tickets
The Royal Palace was an amazing dwelling. There are so many different amazing rooms set up like they were when it was the royalty's home. We loved looking through them all. The skip the line pass saved us hrs worth of waiting time. Would definitely recommend this option if you go.
The tickets mention "skip the line" tickets. However, there is no such thing as skip the line at the Royal Palace. We had to wait in line for an hour before entering the palace. Please advertise the tickets correctly to avoid bad expectations from customers. Also, it would be more practical to have the tickets attached to the email instead of forcing customers to go into the app. At the venue, the tickets were not loading in the app and it took a couple tries to make them appear. So we lost time there, losing time for the person scanning tickets and people behind us. Also, I always share the tickets with my partner, in case one of use lose our phone or have internet issues, we are fine. I was not able to do that because I couldn't download the tickets from the app... I didn't like to use the app for these reasons.
It is offered as a ticket without queues and through another access, but the reality is that with tickets you have to queue just as you would without tickets.

Great experience, stunning palace both inside and outside. With the skip-the-line ticket, we got in right away and avoided standing in the heat.
View original review in Italian
The tickets were bought in advance, not in a queue, so we queued like people without tickets!

Perfect , the queue was very long under a blazing sun and therefore the choice to have made tickets with you was a winner

Very nice Palace with a good view of the history. Loved it with my Mother, aged 82. Also a great view over Madrid from the palace square! I recommend everybody to take tour in th Royal Palace!
The Royal palace is beautiful, amazing to see but too many people, we had skip the line tickets but we still had to wait in the sun to get in and the toilets were awful and dirty, and far too many people at once.
Received the tickets within an hour of my booking, and didn't need to download an app to get them (that would have been a deal breaker). Had no problems using the tickets and the Madrid Royal Palace was absolutely amazing!
It was wonderful! You sent confirmations, notices that the event was approaching and I felt all the support. I have to confess that I was afraid after I bought with you because I then saw several complaints from users, but you showed that you provide an excellent service! Thank you so much

Powercut in Spain on 28th April meant our train from Murcia did not leave the station. The subsequent Internet and mobile phone network prevented notification. Whilst we travelled to Madrid on 29th April by train we arrived too late to be able to take a tour of the palace. Not really Headout's fault but the train operator and rail company both automatically refunded costs.
Due to the blackout the palace was closed. Please instruct us about the refund policy, as we had to return home and rescheduling is not an option. Thank you.
I cannot work out why 4 senior tickets at E7 comes to E63 even with booking fee. Once in the first door there is another ticket check across the courtyard. My ticket would not load again and we were almost turned away. Will probably not use this system again. Sorry
