5.00It was our first time in Paris and getting around was tough as we weren’t familiar with it. But this experience is definitely worth it to be able to get to know the city and see the main attractions. Being able to hop on and off the bus was great as we can take our time taking pictures !
Hop on and Off spots were...

5.00Hop on and Off spots were perfect to allow time to visit other areas around. Didn't have to wait a long time for the next bus.
Loved the bus!

5.00So worth it to see so many things! Pointed out so many sights we could go and wander or get back on! We did both

5.00Easy way to learn about Paris sites and get around the city. The Seine River cruise was nice but wouldn’t book it as a separate tour. Worked great either way cruise as option. Enjoyed both. Wish we could have seen the swimming areas. Never did figure out where they were.
Too crowded ... better off skipping

1.00Overcrowded to the point that it is not enjoyable. When my wife and I boarded there were not two seats together, or even close together. Further, the narration works poorly. I suggest trying one of the other bus rides.
