Great way to see Paris - The hop on hop off bus is very easy to use. It goes in a loop and you can get on/off at any stop or stay on for the entire loop. It has audio that provides history of what you are seeing. It takes you to the areas with the top attractions. We used it to hop off to shop, but had we not been on a tour where we saw much of the city we would have hopped on/hopped off to visit attractions. This is a great way to see the city. I would also recommend the night tour where everyone sits on the top and the bus does not stop. It goes the regular route, but adds a few stops including the Eiffel tower where you can take pics of the tower lit up.

Excellent and Informative Tour - Excellent way to see many of the historical sites and avenues of Paris. You can plan your activities and understand the layout of the city.

Very cool experience - Seeing the famous sites in Paris and getting historical information about each. There was one bus that didn’t provide the audio, which made it difficult to follow the sites that were seen.

Very handy. - Very handy way to see the main landmarks in Paris without a lot of walking. Sometimes it can be hard to find the pick up spots.

Wonderful, and I would highly recommend - The earphones worked great, the stops were good. Driver our first day was not the best… short, jerky stops, a bit hard on the sudden starts and stops. Second day driver was much better (sorry, I don’t have names) Overall experience was good, but had difficulty finding the stops. A competitor had more recognizable signs and in overall better locations

Great first step to seeing Paris - Comfortable buses, good frequency, reasonable commentary. Went twice around and got off once for a long walk. Space on bus was better than competitor bus we took for night trip.

Attractions were not always close to stops - Some of the attractions off the stops were not very close so to walk and tiur and get back to stop took up large chunks of time. The River Cruise was amazing and would definitely recommend. The bus tours some of the city but there are only like 10 stops.

Bus tour - It was ok. The bus driver drove sooo very slow. Not sure what was the intention. I’ll take big bus tour next time . It was really easy to access and bus wasn’t super busy either

Ok I guess - Average for the price. The commentary was so irritating that we had to stop listening. The boat tour was awesome and the highlight
