“We loved this tour because it gave us a terrific chance so see areas that we did not have time to explore on foot but could get a feel for via the bus tour. The recording was great and we just loved it. They gave us a choice at drop-off time to be dropped at a more centrally located area which was quite helpful. While we were waiting for the bus-- we got there a bit early- we had a wonderful dinner at a cafe across the street. I would highly recommend this tour. It was informative beautiful and delightful! A winner!!”

“The tour was amazing . Service was great as well as the food . The tour bus stopped in front of the Eiffel Tower and seemed like they timed it to when the Eiffel Tower sparkled . This was a great surprise. I would book again !”
Use a one to three-day Tootbus pass to visit Paris at your own pace, then take a separate two-hour night circuit from the Louvre. The route passes the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, Montmartre area, and major museums. Audio commentary comes in 10 languages, with English and French versions for children.
“No lo aprovechamos lo suficiente porque París es una ciudad con mucho tráfico y a pesar de lo agradable que resulta hacer una visita panorámica en movimiento, durante el día no cunde por los tiempos. Las paradas son demasiado largas, por otra parte. En cuanto al tour nocturno, si merece la pena, ver paris iluminado y verlo en una ruta de dos horas aproximadamente es una gozada.”
Use unlimited hop-on hop-off access to see more than 50 Paris sights, including the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame, Musée d’Orsay, and Arc de Triomphe. Your ticket also includes a two-hour non-stop night tour, digital commentary in nine languages, Wi-Fi, a route map, and live bus tracking through the Big Bus app.
