I was so delighted choosing tour with expert guide, delibrate and clear explanation. The only thing was too many people in a group.

Don't plan to see Madrid without planning to use the Hop On Hop Off. We got everywhere we wanted to be, easily and quickly. Part of the time on the trip, I listened to the audio commentary aimed at children, as it seemed to have more interesting facts than the 'grown up' version. Several have complained about the interval music on the multi-language commentary. Folks, it's just smooth jazz. Not my personal choice (perhaps some actual Spanish music would have been appropriate) but I didn't find it to be the irritant that others have. All in all, I am really glad we used the Hop On Hop Off as our way around Madrid.

Alhambra is easily one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Generalife gardens are beautiful as well. The trip was well organised. isango's local partners were one time to pick-up and drop. Their guide on the coach was very friendly. Since it was an early morning start, he let us sleep in peace in the coach. He was very informative. Also took care of each individual's needs. He spoke in different languages for the benefit of the non-English speaking tourists. The trip was not rushed, it was well planned. With some time to spend in Granada town centre. The guide at Alhambra was very knowledgeable. He used radio to communicate with us. It gave people the freedom to move around at their own pace yet not lose the interesting bits being said by the Alhambra guide. It's a must see!

MAC is an extraordinay and excellent guide we ever have. MAC is passionate, professional, knowledeable, willing and entertaining. I believe that he remarkably presented Scot history, cultural, people to foreinger like us from Taiwan. (even we are western educated in graduate schools, but we have not much idea about Scottland before) Taiwan had similar fate like between Scotland and Englan, and in reality an independent nation. MAC's energy in telling about Scottland had aroused our interests in bringing home several history introductions books for further enjoyment. p.s. good lock on the Referendum in 2014. Nevertheless, the river cruise on Lock Ness is not worthwhile, time wasting, crowded, while it was on a raining day. (we joined two separate tours, our family omnibusly have high regards on this one guided by MAC, we appreciate he very much, and will look for him definately next time)

Hop on Hop off tour combined with the boat cruise was a fantastic way to see the city. I loved the flexibility to get off where you wanted knowing another bus would be around shortly. We saw everything we wanted to see and all from the buses. I would especially recommend the 2 day tour so you don't feel the need to rush. If your looking for a way to tour Paris and it's sites, this is definitely the way to go.
