I highly recommend booking your tickets online in advance—it saved us a lot of time! Even though the museum is huge and can seem a bit overwhelming, the layout is well-organized and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Set aside at least half a day to explore it, wear comfortable shoes, and enjoy all the magic the place has to offer. An absolute must-see in Paris.

The tour itself was fantastic; everything was perfectly organized and executed. Keep up the great work! Buying the tickets, on the other hand, was a hassle (downloading the app, then transferring the tickets to the app) and confusing. That’s because you couldn’t board the bus with the ticket on the app (including the QR code); instead, you first had to purchase another ticket (voucher) at the ticket office. Only with that ticket could you board the bus. I also had to wait in a long line for this ticket, and the staff at the ticket office were unfriendly and annoyed.

In terms of facilities, accessibility made maneuvering with a wheelchair seamless. The cool comfortable atmosphere onboard was a welcome reprieve from the heat during the midst of a heat wave. The narration was clear and gave helpful insights on each site. Most of all the sites along the tour were amazing. I would most definitely recommend that anyone visiting Paris takes this tour. It is one of the best ways to explore Paris.

The tour took us to all the major attractions, and the buses ran at a good frequency. The audio guides were clear and the sound quality was good.

Great service. Very convenient. In just one day, I was able to show the kids the whole city center of Paris without us having to walk too much. Thank you.

Admission was very quick and hassle-free. Despite the overwhelming size, we saw a lot. This could turn out to be something special.

See Paris your way with a flexible hop-on hop-off pass and timed entry to the Louvre, making it easy to explore the city before or after your museum visit.
