Paris at Night - The tour was amazing! The views of Paris at night was a wonderful tour. The driver and guide were phenomenal! Seeing all the landmarks especially the Arc De Triomphe and Eiffel Tower at night were amazing. I will never forget seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle!

Twinkle Timing - Driver was amazing at getting that big bus around the streets of Paris.
The best part was the timing of getting back to the Eiffel Tower. We were right underneath it when it began to twinkle and it was incredible.

No lights, confusing information - Lights tour was a bust as the sun never went down and we did not see any. We bought Eiffel tower tour as an add on but our guide had no idea and called in. We were told to return to starting point at 9:30pm and meet another tour group. The tower was awesome but left us wondering what would have happened if we had not spoken up .

Not really a tour - I would definitely not recommend this tour. The bus was old and dirty and wooden seats were very uncomfortable. It was a rainy night and the plastic roof was leaking in the front of the bus. This also is not a real tour - more like a ride through the city. You have to download an app and listen on your own to the description. . The guide merely calls out the locations. But the app did not work for about half the locations.

Not for inclement weather - First, what I'll say is that the tour bus was in poor condition for a old rainy night. The roof leaked and got us wet and the upper windshield wipers did not work. We didn't see a thing. There was another couple upstairs who went downstairs. We could hear them talking and he even came upstairs and wiped off the windows and took pictures with their phones for them. But we were never invited to come downstairs or anything to make the tour more enjoyable. The guide just told us which # to listen to. There was no anecdotal information given. And 930p was too late for it to begin too

Scam - This is basically a bus ride around the city picking up and dropping off people. You DO NOT go to popular sites such as the Champ Elycessa , Louve etc. You see the Eiffel Tower only. A total rip off

French scam - If I could give zero stars, I would.
Booked the “nighttime panoramic sightseeing tour of Paris.” What we got was a regular bus with fogged-up windows, no air-conditioning, and a bright blue light inside that turned every window into a mirror. Perfect if you wanted to stare at your own reflection — utterly useless if you actually wanted to see Paris.
There was zero guidance on any of the hotspots. Nothing. The only “information” we got was a ten-minute lecture about what to do at the Moulin Rouge, where to walk, where to stand… which would’ve been great if I’d booked a Moulin Rouge prep class and not a sightseeing tour.
At some point I genuinely wondered if my English had failed me and I’d completely misread the advertisement. But no — the tour was exactly as described on paper, except for the tiny detail that they didn’t deliver any of it. It was just a bad tour, plain and simple.
Sightseeing? Forget it. The bus didn’t bother going to the advertised spots, and we were told to explore them ourselves through an app. Honestly, even the M2 metro ride from Moulin Rouge gives you better sightseeing — and that costs almost nothing.
Completely misleading and absolutely not worth the money. Save yourself the disappointment and pick literally any other tour.

Incomplete! The bus... - Incomplete! The bus crashed into a van and we did not finish tour. How to figure out how to get home and we missed the rest of the sights

Be warned - not exactly what it says - Billed as “see the lights of Paris” and bus tour started at 7 pm and then access to Eiffel Tower summit. No lights, but ok nice drive around at some of the big tourist places. Bus tour ends at 8. Then we are told we have to wait until 9:45 to go to tower and we still have wait time at tower too, plus wait to go to summit as well. With an early morning train to catch, by the time this ends plus a hike back to hotel - I will not have time to sleep.
If I had known the Eiffel Tower was so late, I wouldn’t have booked the extra package. I could have five this earlier today by myself.
Be warned

There was no tour. The... - There was no tour. The leader was rude, told us an app to download at the meeting destination and then no further details to connect to an audio guide. Bus driver was late, bus was old. Spent an hour in traffic heading to the Moulin Rouge, which was the tour guides next job. Guide did not return us to meeting point as on ticket.
