Patricia M Sweeney

These 2 days couldn't have worked out any better for us. We did several of the tours as well the boat - although due to the flood stage of the river, it was a shortened tour. This was definitely a highlight our our days in Paris. Merci beaucoups!

Pooja Karande

Very good experience ...go for it..

John Vanderstelt

It was our first visit to Paris and the Hop-On, Hop Off was a wonderful experience and a great way to get around and see many sights. We would highly recommend it - especially if it is your first visit to Paris.

Margaret M Meagher

From the first moment on the bus, my friend and I were sold. Courteous drivers, wonderful sights, ease of use, proximity of a stop (Arc de Triomphe) to our hotel - we couldn't have asked for a more satisfying experience. This was my first taste of Paris and it won't be my last. I'll certainly plan to stay longer the next time and will definitely sign up for the Hop-on/Hop-off tour.

Hope Gersovitz

It was very easy to find and get on board. There are stops all over the city. It was nice to ride around and listen to what everything was. I highly recommend it.
