An essential on a trip to Paris - first, second or even first time. Get a good orientation to layout and of course some history and interesting facts. Staff very helpful. Next time probably get a 48 hour ticket because of the additional pop on-pop off aspects....it turns out, if you can and willing you could walk to these various places, but then not much time to really enjoy the culture and peopl...

We would highly recommend this service while your visiting Paris. It’s very convenient and easy to use. It does take over 2 hours for a full loop of the route, but enables you to see a lot more of the sites. It’s most efficient to get off at each stop enjoy the sites, grab a bite and then jump on the next one that is usually only a few minutes away.

I'm normally not a fan of Bus Tours but Big Bus was fantastic. Customer service was very helpful and friendly and we had an amazing bus driver. We were able to see a tremendous amount in little time, with open views on the 2nd story. Have that camera ready!

Brilliant over 2 hours of all the key tourist attractions in Paris. Expensive tickets but for 24 hours you can get your money’s worth. Join the queue as it’s super busy. We joined at Arc de Triomphe and buses are frequent however at peak times there are too many tourists so you end up waiting for the next bus. Make sure you wait in line as there are non British tourists that will push and jump in ...
