This brand new tour allows you to combine two "must-do" when traveling to Paris: visit the iconic Arc de Triomphe on a self-guided tour as well as going around the city on a hop-on hop-off bus. Visitors can marvel at the sheer size and detail of the Arc from ground level, and take the elevator or climb 284 steps to the roof terrace at the top. Take in 360° panoramic views of Paris, and marvel at the circulating muddle of traffic in the roundabout below.. Aboard a Big Bus open-top, double-decker bus, admire panoramic views of top Paris attractions including the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Moulin Rouge and more, all while listening to audio commentary. Follow two easy routes, and hop on and off at any of the 15 stops around town.

    We always appreciate the Hop-on-Hop-Off Buses and tend to use this mode of tour in every city we visit. You get a brief history and the lay of the land, covering more territory than you could on foot. Having the ability to get on and off is a plus. Would highly recommend.

  • A Fun Way to see Paris

    The buses came on a regular basis. The map and earphones were helpful. It was great to ride around the entire circuit to acclimate to the area. Then we got off near Notre-Dame after a total circuit. We got back on and rode to the Arc de Triomphe. I have been to Paris before, but never went to the top of the Arc. It was great. We took the Seine river cruise on a day when the weather was better. A good value, even if you've been to Paris before.

    I was happy with the Arc de Triomphe. I thought I paid for River Cruise.as mentioned in the description however it was not. Included. Had to pay seperately so went will another providor. Nor did anyone explain even tho its a 24 hr bus ticket that the ticket was not valid at night. Would have been good to know.. Dissappointed.

    The office was closed when we arrived so we did not take the tour. None of the information I received indicated the office would close at 5:30 especially since we expected to take an evening cruise and go up to the Arc in the evening as well. I hope my money is refunded. They offered a different day after I contacted them but I already have plans for that day.

  • Must book!
