It was really good, all straightforward. Got a ticket at the Notre Dame pick up point. Great views. Would recommend

Great ride sometimes recording didn’t sync to locations but otherwise a must do when I. Paris . Bring umbrella or a throw if riding on top.

Good when you have all day to get around and see stuff. Not for fast trips across town. Sometimes you get a seat, sometimes you stand. Depends on the day and the weather. But it’s great for learning about the city if you listen to the commentary.

It’s a fantastic way to see Paris the bus and river cruise cover so much that you couldn’t do on your own

Great way to see the main sites in Paris! The pick up spots are spaced out well and the double decker bus is great for seeing more than ground level.

It was nice to have access to a guided experience around Paris. We had a difficult time finding bus stops. The signs just blend in with everything.

Stops are not easy to find. Often drivers don't call out stops and if you are up top it is easy to miss where to get off. Audio doesn't work well

Extremely slow! We thought this would be a good way to save money on Ubers and see all the sights, but it took us forever to get anywhere and wasted a lot of our time. It took us 45 minutes to drive a distance of what should have been 12 minutes. The only positive was hearing the history as we drove along.
