The tourist bus is an excellent option for getting to know Paris, finding your way around, and seeing the city's main tourist attractions. The bus stops are well marked, and the audio guide information is very interesting. I recommend it 100%.

The tour took me around major and notable places of interest in Paris. It was easy to get on and off the bus. The commentary explained the significance of each site on the tour. The river boat cruise was amazing. I had a most enjoyable day

It was so useful as my friend has mobility issues. Was great to see the main sights all in one go , then hop off at sights that interested us. The bus ran regularly and the commentary was informative and easy to understand. A great way to see the city

We were on a tour that included a tour of the city by bus and a boat ride on the Seine. The bus tour has very well organized stops, the explanations are clear and it covers the main sights of the city quite well. The boat tour is interesting, with a nice guide in several languages.

Amazing weekend in Paris! The Big Bus hop-on hop-off tour made exploring effortless, and the optional Seine River cruise was breathtaking — perfect views, smooth ride, and unforgettable moments with my girlfriend.

The onboard audio guide worked great (much better than the POPGuide app). If you have time, ride a full loop before getting off and touring spots so you get oriented.
