Not as good quality as the London Big Bus. Just ok

Passenger828479, Dec 2024

Not the same as the London Big Bus tour. They didn't call out stops and went a different route. The app was not working to reflect closed stops for the olympics. They filled the time with a loop of french music over and over instead of telling us about the city. The river cruise was really worth the extra money it was great!

Worst experience ever - don't bother.

Worst hop on hop off bus experience ever!!

Yes there were road closures due to Olympic preparation and US President Biden visiting but that doesn't exlplain why the bus randomly stopped at places (not hop on/off nor regular bus stops) for up to 20 mins at a time then move 700 metres and stop again.

then get to a stop part way around the circuit and say we all need to get off!! The non English speaking driver was no help, only telling us it was the end and to get off. We thought the bus was broken but we were passed by at least 4 other of their buses, none who stopped to see why we were stopped on the side of the road.

After numerous unexplained stops, the driver stopped the bus and told everyone to get off. When we were made get off we had no map and no idea where we were. It turned out we were about an hours walk from our hotel and had to ask directions from nearby Guardia and hope for the best.

We tried this bus again hoping it was just that driver/day but no it was just as bad with us being told to get off and walk because the street was closed ahead of us. The bus detoured but we couldn't stay on it while it took the detour!

Both days the commentary was about the Olympics and various sports and what the narrator would do if they played sport. We learnt nothing about Paris, the buildings and the places we passed.

We paid to include a river cruise then found it left from a place we needed to get their bus to, not the poplar place all the others left from so we paid again and did a river cruise with another company. We were concerned about the unreliability of the company and didn't want to be kicked off somewhere random again.

We have used hop on/off buses in a lot of other cities and this was by far our worst experience. I will never use nor recommend this company again.

This was a great way to explore Paris. There are many busses so you never wait long at a stop. The river cruise was the highlight!

Horrible Experience

Lauren_B, Dec 2024

Too hot! The high in Paris was only 81 degrees Fahrenheit and the bus was unbearable!!!! I can’t imagine what it’s like during July & August without air conditioning. It was terrible!!!!

Responses from Claire V

Thank you for taking the time to send us your comments.

We are sorry to hear about the weather conditions. Most of the buses have A/C in the lower part while on the upper deck, it is the magic of the experience to be on open roof.

Kind regards

Glad I booked it1

Was nervous about the experience since I had read some bad reviews but over all it was a good experience. There was some stops they didn't make or had to take alternative routes because of the Olympics construction. If a bus was full there was usually one right afterwards. I enjoyed having the earbuds that they give you so you can listen and hear more information on the site we were passing by. Saw parts of Paris I wouldn't have otherwise seen if I had taken the metro to.
