sorry but it poured - we were stuck in the bottom of the bus, packed in like sardines, no headphone, going round and round. it would have been good to have an alternative for such a wet pouring day. we were soaked and cold and couldn't do anything about it. so no, we did not enjoy it (not your fault) but i think alternative buses should be on standby for wet weather!

Fue una experiencia muy agradable y sobre todo muy cómodo conocer Paris en estos buses. Están muy limpios y los choferes son muy amables. Lo único que no me gusto fueron los comentarios en los recorridos, pienso que con toda la historia que tienen estos lugares podrían hacerlo muchísimo mejor, me parecen muy pobres y sin profundidad.

Bus stops conveniently located for all the major tourist sites. Friendly staff and good over all service. We however found that we waisted a lot of time on many of the bus stops and felt that delayed our schedule for the day. On the contrast the boat trip was much better in terms of the stops, however you could not view Paris in the same way as in the bus.

This tour is a very good way to get yourself acquainted with all the main attractions of Paris -- especially if you are a first time visitor to the city.

Clearly it rains quite frequently in Paris. I would highly recommend that you find a way to drain the bus after the massive rains because it's disgusting soup at the top of hte bus for guests to sit in while they are trying to enjoy the sights. Also in the same scenario if you chose to sit down stairs then you get drenched with the nasty soup every time the driver turns a corner! So gross. I love the idea of hop on hop off bus... but this RUINED the experience 1/2 way through the day.

The Hop on Hop off bus is always a must in any major city. This was VERY thorough.

I am not sure that Paris is the most suitable city for this type of transport. Prefer the Metro.

We just got back from Paris yesterday on July 16th and we would recommend the Bus tour to anyone visitng Paris for the first time. We booked it the day after we arrives so we could get familiar with the city and pick out some places we would like to visit during our trip. The audio guide was great and we really liked bein able to hop on and off at the stops. We only did the tour that goes around the main part of the city but since we only had a one day pass and that was great for us!

The headphones were of poor value, you need to replace them with softer ones as these hurt the ears badly. Other than that, the tour was great!

According with attendant we will be refunded.
Please, we wait for more instructions about that.

We managed to see all the historic monuments in Paris and understood the history about them. This gave us a very welcome insight on the history of Paris and the splendour of the different monuments, museums etc.

What a great way to get around town and to learn about the various parts of town. We loved the hop on and off bus tour in Paris and London. For now on, we'll look for a similar bus tour while on vacation.

The tour started off pretty bad - I started at Auber station, after getting on to the bus, there was no movement for a good 20 minutes, no one bothered to inform us what was going on, only after 20 minutes did someone show up to say that it was driver changeover time, and suggested that we get into another bus. Anyway, if you're buying just a one-day ticket, main attractions in Paris is small enough not to need this tour, esp. as you'll likely be spending quite a bit of time in at least 1 or 2 of the locations and won't be using much of their services. Would most likely be cheaper to go by alternative mode of transportation.

We booked a three day pass which included the river bus. The tours were very good and we certainly saw the sites. We felt that it was really good value for money as it worked out to about £12.50 per day and gave a great deal of flexibility.

We would have liked a map of the tours to be available on the website before we travelled as we were staying in Montparnasse and had no idea where the bus stop was. Therefore we had to travel into Paris by Metro and guess where we could pick up the tour. Once we had got the map it was extremely simple to follow.

Warning to everyone, remember to take your tickets with you every day. Unfortunately We left ours in the hotel on the last day so didn't manage the Montmartre tour.

Très efficace et fiable. Dès que nous avons présenté notre bon de commande (voucher) au chauffeur, le chauffeur nous a aussitôt admis à bord de l'autocar. Deux jours de promenade en Open Tour, ce n'est pas un luxe à Paris! Si c'était à refaire, nous referions la même chose. Merci pour vos bons services. Cécile (Canada)

I love the hop on hop off buses, recommend a 2 day pass. You get to see many of the wonderful sights of Paris, learn about them and hop off when you want. Some times there was a long wait but that was because the bus waited at some stops for 20mins which was handy at times.

Very pleasant way to get around Paris. The audio commentary needs improvement, as it doesnt always match up to what you are seeing. We prefered this method over the metro for seeing all the sites.
