Great value. Great route. Would get again if available in the city we travel to.

A Paris Big Bus tour is one of the most comfortable and enjoyable ways to explore Paris. Discover the city on the various lines and hop off and back on at any of its stops, appreciating the sights from an open-top deck with interesting commentary in English.
Paris Sightseeing Bus Tour

The Paris Big Bus sightseeing bus has a route with ten stops in total: throughout the tour, you'll discover Paris and its top landmarks on an open-top double-decker bus.
Some of the most popular stops are the Eiffel Tower, Opera Garnier, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame, and Champs-Élysées. During the bus ride, enjoy pre-recorded commentary in English or in any of the other ten languages we have available.

Ticket Types
Choose the type of ticket that best adapts to your needs:
- 24-hour ticket: Offers unlimited access to the Big Bus Hop-On Hop-Off buses for 24 hours.
- 24-hour ticket + boat tour on the Seine: Offers unlimited use of the Big Bus Hop-On Hop-Off buses for 24 hours, plus a boat ride on the Seine River. You'll have to activate your ticket first on one of the buses before being able to get on the boat. In addition, you'll also have a free tour with an audio guide in English. You can choose one of the following: Trocadéro - Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame - Marais or Louvre - Concorde.
- 48-hour ticket + boat tour on the Seine: Apart from unlimited use of the Big Bus Hop-On Hop-Off buses for 48 hours, you'll also enjoy a cruise down the Seine and the free tour with an audio guide in English.
How It Works
A bus ticket is valid for 24 or 48 hours from the first time you use it. This means that a 48-hour ticket used for the first time on Monday at 3 pm will be valid until Wednesday at the same time.
During the chosen period, you can get on a Hop-On Hop-Off bus as many times as you want and explore Paris.
Although when making the reservation, you'll be asked for a start date, you can use the service over the two weeks following the start date.

Estados UnidosVery organized but they should say that the last route is until 7 pm and not 9 pm. We had to take the subway and walk a lot to get back.
