  So basically we can plan second day on our own because it's only 3.5 hours hope on hope off bus. And that would basically be two days out of 5 days tour we got to plan on our own. Why are we paying you for that? What about Madrid? Will that be too a couple of hours hope on off bus?

  In Madrid it is a sightseeing tour with a live guide. The duration is about 2.5 hours
