5.00Best way to see Paris. Helps you with the city sites. Stopped near our hotel. Very convenient & informative. Their app was convenient as well.

5.00This is a must tour in Paris when you plan to visit several places via one mode of transport. It takes around 2.5 hrs for complete ride and you can get on or off the bus at any stop. Also you can also buy Seine’s river cruise ticket in this ride as well. We had great time on this tour. Make sure to carry a cap if you are going to seat on the deck.
The idea of this sounded...

3.00The idea of this sounded great but the reality was we would have been quicker walking on occasions! Paris is so congested with traffic that we sat, not moving sometimes for 15 minutes. Also be aware that the service doesn't start until 9.45 and stops running at 5.30pm. You DO get to see "the main attractions" but it can take an awfully long time getting to them. The boat trip was great. We were on the first trip of the day and the commentary was very good. If I came again I wouldn't bother with the big bus but would definitely go on the boat trip.
Excellent compo

4.00Goes to essential places. Cruise is really nice as it is a full circuit. Wish the bus had a larger route or options like in London.
