Exceptional Experience!

5.00Was a bit skeptical because of some previous reviews where the bus never showed up but figured I could get the charge removed if that happened. My experience was actually rather amazing! There were 2 busses queued up and ready when I arrived about 10 mins early. One bus already had the top (open air part) filled- but it appeared no one was sitting on the bottom. They filled the second bus up top and it looked like, where I was in the line, I would end up on the bottom half of the bus - where I’d have to take pics through the window- not ideal. To my surprise they did not force anyone or try to fill the entire bus including the bottom half. From a business standpoint it would make sense because this tour could’ve accommodated everyone with 2 busses. To my complete surprise they pulled up another bus so we would get the top open air seats for amazing pics. All I can say is WOW! I was so impressed and it was a great experience. We ended about 20 mins later than scheduled so keep that in mind. There’s traffic and no way around that. I def recommend seeing the tower at night- it looks amazing and we were stopped right in front when the tower does its (hourly?) twinkling light show. THANK YOU to this company for an exceptional hassle free time and some great memories on my weekend trip to Paris.
Very disappointed

1.00How incredibly disappointed we were when our Guide didn’t even show up. We’ve still not heard back from the tour operator to arrange a refund or receive an apology.
Best view of Paris

5.00This tour was our favorite of our trip. However, I would like to note that our confirmation provided a time that was over and hour different from the actual start of the tour. That was frustrating. However, once we started the cruise we had an amazing time. The views and the position they were able to get, especially at the Eiffel Tower was so worth it. Highly recommend!!!
Rain, rain go away

3.00Rain makes for a fuzzy view! Don’t go on this trip with screaming toddlers! Other than that a fun night time view.

1.00Our meeting point location was incorrect. So we had to ask for a refund. It was most disappointing for myself my husband and our companions. We waited online and the bus did not show up because we were in the wrong location which was clearly stated in the emails.
Must see Paris at night!

5.00This is a perfect way to see Paris at night. It’s a whole different perspective. The driver slowed down at all the right places for pictures. We were able to stop by the perfect spot to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle ( which I think must happen at the top of the hour). Very memorable experience!
Bus Never Showed Up!

1.00This was the most disappointing experience on our week long trip to Paris. We purchased tickets for the night bus tour months before we arrived in Paris. Our tickets said to start at stop #5. We arrived one hour early. Bus never showed up. Found out after scanning the sign on the post that it was supposed to start at stop #1. There were two other couple with the same tickets as ours that said to start at stop #5. Contacted the Big Bus company to get rebooked or our money back. They contacted us by email and said they could get us on a bus for another 10 euro. We already are out the cost of uber rides to and from the bus Stop that cost $36. Not paying this company any more money.
Nice clean bus, great...

3.00Nice clean bus, great narration from the provided headphones. Unfortunately this is not a hop on hop off as the litterateur provided onboard says. It's 2 hours, longer if bad traffic. Had to get off halfway to use a toilet and get a taxi across Paris. So be prepared!

Don't buy this tour

1.00This was the worst experience ever. They provided 2 different times and pickup, so I confirmed that the time and pickup on my ticket was accurate. Much to my dismay to ensure we were at the right place, at the right time, no Big Bus ever came. Very disappointed as were here only two nights.
