I booked a 2-day tour directly with the operator. The first day was basically a bust since the weather was really bad. I wrote to customer service and asked them if they would give me a partial credi... See more

The bus although expensive for what it is, was pleasant enough although I wouldn't recommend getting on and off regularly as you will not find a seat on top. Sitting inside really sux, you don't see... See more
Paris was a first-time experience for us (we got married on this trip!) and the Big Bus is the ONLY way to see as much of Paris as is possible. The drivers educate, inform and entertain with interest... See more

It was a great experience, my family and I had great time, we had the opportunity to see and visit most of the attractions, excellent service, comfortable and worth it. Recommend specially if you have few days to visit.

We loved it although after using big bus London we feel you need more stops and also audio wasn’t working often and only once did we have a live guide also the “ walk tour app” although I got it downloaded and logged it it wouldn’t work
Thanks
Bye Paris it’s been a nice visit
Very happy with the areas covered by…
Very happy with the areas covered by the bus but very very disappointed with the commentary. So much to see and so little information. How about information about the areas passed through, small points of information about property’s or shops passed. I have done tours all over the world and this rates very low, although I don’t want to criticise to much as open top buses are a very easy and good way to see all the sights and get a feel for the city visiting but please make it so the background music can be turned down or actually only “ background” music!! It was much to loud.
Disappointed
No live English commentary. No notification of stops. Wifi did not work on most buses. You have to use the ear plugs to listen to the history and know when your stop is mentioned. Pay close attention because it only briefly mentions the stop once & that’s it. Most drivers do not speak English. Most do not know where the famous sites are or if they are open or not. Awful!!! I would not recommend!!!
There was no organization when boarding…
There was no organization when boarding the bus at stop 4 which is at your office. There was a crush of people trying to board the buses which were about a half hour between. There was also a pickpocket there who tried to reach into my pocket because of the crowded boarding area with no organization.
Bad Experience with Big Bus Tours
No control on the bus Drivers
Every time the Driver change the route and don't stop on some bus stations as no. 4
Bus drivers stop long time sometimes for 30 minutes at the head office without respect to the tight time for the tourist
A very gorgeous experience
A very gorgeous experience. Visit Paris with Big Bus was one of our best decisions. Many buses at a good frequency and the indications through earphones were perfect. The best about this was the app. I had in my hand the location of every bus so I could organize my trip with any delay. Next time I'll repeat, no doubt.

the bus was awfully dirty and just plain nasty. Every single one of them from beginning to end.

The Big Bus tours are a great way to see a city. The staff in Paris are exceptionally helpful and take the time to fully explain and answer questions. They appreciate we're tourists with a limited amount of time to visit attractions and experience a city. The bus drivers were careful and stops ran smoothly, even the drop-offs which have to be quick took time to inlude everyone needing to hop on. They accommodate strollers and other things people need to bring with them, and are very, very considerate of people's needs such as those with wheelchairs and crutches, and the elderly who may not move as quickly. All in all a most enjoyable service. Thank you to the Big Bus team.
First time on a hop on/off
The service was great however, there were quite a few bus stops that were not clearly marked up and it was very difficult to locate. The weather was beautiful but extremely hot to be trying to search for locations with my 9 year old daughter. We found that the stops weren't as obvious on the 'Blue route' of Paris compared to the red. It was the first time we had done a hop on/off tour, it wouldn't stop us from trying the service again in the future though. The drivers and guides were lovely, very friendly and easy to understand. We opted for the deluxe tour which included the river cruise. We timed it for the 8pm cruise meaning that we docked back at 9pm, just in time for the eiffel tower to sparkle. It was fabulous.
We really enjoyed our tour bus rides
We really enjoyed our tour bus rides , the red and blue buses. we enjoyed seeing the beautiful sites of Paris.. the bus drivers were helpful and their assistants and tour guides with their memorable stories about the sites as we drove along . When I go to another city and this bus tours are there I will definitely take this tour again .
Some good, some less so
Red route was very good, plenty of busses and didn't have to wait too long. The Blue line however was rubbish. Looked like only 3 busses running and had to wait ages. Also there are a number of stops that are DROP OFF ONLY. The river cruise was very nice.
It was a great time!
It was a good experience
It was a good experience. Some drivers were very kind. And gave us the directions we needed. Sadly we lost our tickets. And without them we where not allowed to do the boat trip.
Perfect city tours
