Everything went great from the moment we booked until the very end! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Since we unfortunately don’t speak French or English, they immediately told us where and when we could get off, as well as where the boat would stop. Perfect!!! 😁 I’d definitely book through headout.com again!

It was a great experience; the tour was interesting, and the audio guide in Italian was well translated. The only thing I didn’t like was being asked to tip the driver, because the ticket I paid for—which wasn’t cheap—already included the driver’s salary.

The translation guide, explanations of the historical significance of the site. The convenience to hop- on and hop-off throughout the day and the best customer service by the representatives and drivers.

The route is generally good, and the buses run frequently. The audio guides work well. The seats are comfortable, though not quite Pullman-class (fun fact: they’re identical to the old ones used by the EMT in Valencia). The biggest drawback is the limited operating hours; 5:30 p.m. is too early to end the tour.

The tour covered everything you absolutely need to see in Paris in one day. The river cruise is also a must. Hopping off and on, and being valid for 24 hours saves so much in transportation costs! It's definitely a winner!

Great tour. Highly recommended. It takes you to all the major sights. Too bad it doesn't go to Pigalle. The cruise on the Seine is very nice. You can only board at Pier 3 near the Eiffel Tower, and there are no other stops.

Explore famous sites in Paris that played a significant role in French history such as Notre Dame, with a 24 or 48-hour hop-on hop-off pass.

Travel on a clean-energy, electric bus departing every 7 to 15 minutes, allowing you to hop off at any of the 10 stops during this distinct 90 to 120-min journey.

Experience a 1-hour Seine River cruise, passing by renowned attractions like the Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum, with cruises departing every 45 mins.

Fun Fact: There are 37 bridges that cross the Seine River in Paris, making it a unique experience to cruise under these beautiful structures.
