5.00We only had a short space of time to visit all the sites and this was the perfect way. Very easy to use, was a conductor at each stop to print tickets, let people on the buses & control the queues. Very easy, seamless service.

5.00I really enjoyed my hop on and hop off experience. Bus was very nice and air conditioned. Roads all over Paris and got to see all the great sites. The audio guide was fun and useful. I also go the Seine river tour and it was a great deal overall.

5.00Easy to do once you find you hop on spot! Don’t forget to grab a set of ear phones on your way in and before you are seated!
