Our services

There is an information panel at the front of the bus, indicating the name of the tour route being travelled. Our vehicles have two internal staircases that connect both decks, and for your safety should only be used when the bus is parked at one of its stops.

Also, in order to make best use of the time available, passengers should use the front staircase to go up and the back staircase to go down. Madrid City Tour offers free Wi-Fi in its vehicles so that you can go online while travelling with us.

All of our tour buses are adapted for people with reduced mobility and are equipped with an access ramp at the back door and have a space reserved for wheelchairs inside. Each vehicle has an especially adapted space to accommodate a wheelchair. A member of our staff always travels on board the Madrid City Tour buses and can answer all your questions.
