    We bought tickets on line through the travel operator. We activated our tickets at the bus where we were met by a helpful steward. Travelling around Paris was excellent. Easy to hop on and off at the stops and to join one of the frequent buses. Excellent value for money.

    I’m soo disappointed as I was soooo looking forward to this tour on the big bus and was considering rebooking in another city but may not now. My experience on Saturday the 7/6/2024 on the big bus was not worth £45 as I only went around the tour once, the bus was packed and many tourists had to stand. It was chaos and what I experienced was when you first get on a bus some tourists jumped the queue, no one stopped them and did jump in front of us to get seats, there was no organisation

    Busse sind zum Größtenteils sehr alt und das Fahrtempo auf freien Strecken zu schnell für eine Stadtrundfahrt
