Madrid Bus Sightseeing Tour with Tapas
Hop on a comfortable bus and learn about the history and culture of Madrid with a professional guide as you ride along the city center. While you discover the capital of Spain, savor delicious Spanish tapas and traditional drinks.
What to expect?
Head to the central Neptune Fountain (Fuente de Neptune) to begin a unique 2-hour tour of Madrid. Climb on board the bus and sit back while you are driven through the city center. During the journey, admire the city’s most iconic streets, squares and landmarks and revel in some of the country’s most famous tapas (hot and cold appetizers typical of Spanish cuisine). This way, you’ll fuse Spain’s best traditional cuisine with an enjoyable sightseeing tour.
During the 2-hour tour, learn how Madrid was founded and listen to interesting information about the monuments and parts of the city you drive past, like Paseo de la Castellana, Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Gran Vía, Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol.
Tapas menu
During the journey, you'll enjoy numerous tapas, including tortilla de patata, peppers stuffed with stewed chicken, anchovies in vinegar, ham croquettes and garlic prawns. The tapas are accompanied by a beer, a soft drink or mineral water (to choose). If you have any allergies or dietary requirements, you should mention this when you make your booking.
Once you get on the bus, you can also order the children’s menu.
