Can travel the whole city with this service. It was perfect for me and my family to travel around the important places in the city on a very cold day. They operate in 3 different routes and great frequency
This bus did its job exactly as advertised and once I got the hang of it it was not too difficult to understand the fairly logical bus routes they take and I even used it a bit as transportation before I got more comfortable with the metro. Couldn't recommend it enough.
I just loved this experience, they are so professional, the main offices have expert staff. The schemes are so good so go for the packages. Also the marketing team under bridges and popular spots are so efficient. I had an issue of money that had to be returned which they promptly did. Very impressed.
Nice service's with full cover in Paris' highlights. You can hop on and off as many as you wish as long the lines is working.
I suggest you consider buy the pass for more than one day and for start, pick the map and build a macro plan about the approach to "atack" the city. Then choose the line for start and have fun and acquire knowledge and history wisdom (at least in some museums).
Oh, IMPORTANT: You will receive your ear buds to use during the bus tour.
During the trip a message in more than 10 languages (you choose the channel and done!) can be heard, giving instructions, tips and telling a Lil'bit about history of the landmarks. Sometimes it's out of sync but then you tell to the driver and he correct.
Drivers were friendly. It took about 2 hours and 20 minutes to do the complete loop - even with heavy traffic in some parts.
There are plenty of places to get off and get back on so you can have a walk around and see some sights.
I found it quite difficult to find the first stop at the Eiffel Tower, I did a complete circle before finding it, but once we were on the bus, it was good.
We did the open top bit for around 30 minutes but It was far too cold so we went downstairs where it was slightly warmer, but you could still see the sights. They give you a map and some headphones when you get onto the bus and the listening guide is available in a variety if languages and it was very interesting
This is an excellent way to see Paris thay have 3 routes you can use the business are clean and comfortable and thay have a lot of stops so you can hop on and off and buses every 6 to 10 minutes
Best money we spent in Paris. Has 3 routes that hit all the big attractions. You can hop on and off all day as you please. They have a multilingual audio information included in the cost. Only down side is that there is no real scheduled times do to traffic.
My wife and I did the holiday lights night tour which lasts 90 minutes and costs 27 Euros per person. The website requests that customers arrive 30 minutes early and this is a really good idea because of the quantity of people trying to exchange their vouchers purchased from third parties for their actual tickets to ride. We booked directly on the Open Tour Paris website so we could've directly boarded the bus, but we wanted to get our blankets and hot cocoa so we went inside and waited in line still. We were also provided with headphones with very long cords which was great and the audio commentary along the way was fantastic. We have been to Paris 3x this year alone and this tour took us to parts of town we have both never been to. We very much enjoyed this.
OpenTour Paris was the first to introduce the concept of a regular tourist line with open-top double-decker buses in France. OpenTour forms part of the Tourism and Leisure sector in Paris proper and offers a commented tour on board open-top double-decker buses.
Great hop on hop off experience. Lots to see. Buses run quite frequently.
