Quacking good

anniemP150SL, Nov 2024

Lots of fun for the whole family. Great bilingual tour guide, factual and funny which suited the whole family. Honestly not the most in depth or informative tour you can do- but certainly the friendliest and most unique. 5 stars from us. Merci!

Amphibious Bus Tour- Unique experience!

ANN_S, Nov 2024

This was a spur of the moment decision which we really enjoyed. We went on this tour the day before we were to leave Paris and got to see sites that we had not seen during our visit. Elliot the tour guide was fantastic, and personable. He answered our questions and engaged with all of the guests on the tour including children (in French and English).

When the bus went to the Siene River this was truly a unique experience- just a different way to take a boat ride. This is apparently the only Amphibious Bus in France. It was a great way to take a boat ride without paying for a cruise.

This was an enjoyable and unique experience. Went with my husband however there was a family with children on the tour who really seemed to have a good time.

Fun way to explore paris

Fun way to explore paris. The guide was really funny and spoke English very well. I will definitely recommend this 👏🏼

Great guide, fun experience, ok coverage of Paris top sights

Divya_K, Nov 2024

The guide was excellent, very friendly, fluent (and quick!) in both French and English, and very knowledgeable. My only negative was that the bus route in the Seine was around a less interesting curve of the river, probably on account of it being a bus rather than a proper boat tour. That said, it was nice to see some green pockets of the city, and my son LOVED the novelty of driving a bus into water.

Amphibious recommended
