This is my 2nd time purchasing Batobus tickets while in Paris. I love the convenience. Each stop is perfect for hopping off and exploring and how wonderful it is to travel down the Seine instead of busy streets or crowded metros to get to the next destination! We visited Notre Dame, The Louvre, JARDIN DES TUILERIES, The Eiffel Tower and more!

The Batobus is a great way to explore Paris! You will travel past many famous landmarks! Is a safe, stress free environment. Taking photos from the river gives you some wonderful pictures! We took the bus for two days and plan to use it again!

We loved the Batobus tour, easy to find the locations, and easy hopping on/off. You have to see Paris from the river Seine, it's a must. We also liked the possibility to take the same tour several times a day. Great value for money.

In addition to the scenery along the route, the Batobus is very comfortable, with floor-to-ceiling windows for sightseeing, friendly staff, and frequent departures.

The Hop-On/Hop-Off boat tour was a great idea. It gives you a lot of flexibility. Unfortunately, we had bad luck with a broken-down boat, so we had to wait around for over 45 minutes before we could continue. Because of poorly organized boarding, we had to watch as other (unscrupulous) passengers cut in front of us, causing us to miss two boats. It’s a shame that this spoiled the experience, so I’ve deducted one star.

Forget the usual tourist traps – grab your hop-on hop-off boat pass and cruise along the Seine with a 1 or 2-day hop-on hop-off boat pass, offering a relaxed way to explore Paris from the water.

With one route and nine well-placed stops, boats arrive every 15 minutes, making it easy to hop off, explore, and hop back on whenever you like.

Enjoy the comfort of heated boats with open decks for panoramic views, and grab a quick snack from onboard vending machines (available at your own cost)

Popular stops include the lush Jardin des Plantes, the historic Place de la Concorde, and the impressive military site, Les Invalides, along your route.
