How does it work?
In the case of the panoramic tour, you'll make a single trip on board the tourist bus.
However, if you choose either of the other two options, the ticket for the Madrid Big Bus is valid for 24 or 48 hours from the time it is used for the first time, i.e. if a 48-hour day ticket is used on a Monday at 3 pm, it will be valid until Wednesday at 3 pm.
During this time, you can hop on and off the buses as many times as you want to check out the main sites and monuments around Madrid.
