5.00First experiment. Excellent day. We did two laps. The view of monuments from the imperial is sublime. The beautiful Tronchet-Haussmann crossroads with illuminations. Friendly staff.
Money well spent.

5.00We were only in Paris for 2 days so we took the opportunity to see us much as we could by using the Hop on Hop off bus plus river cruise. It was a great commentary and certainly saved both our legs and time. Thoroughly worth it.
Great Introduction to Paris
Ann M,,Dec 24, 2025
- Review from Viator
4.00Great way to get introduced to the layout of the city. I wish the information feed said more about the city and played less music. It would also have been good to have a guide on each bus to answer questions. But it was a good overview.
