What makes it 85% Solo-Friendly: Hop-on buses run often, the audio guide and Wi-Fi let a solo traveler explore safely and efficiently. Crowds and open-top weather exposure are minor drawbacks.
Why 0.5-1 day visit duration is ideal for solo trip: Gives you time to hop on and off at key landmarks at your own pace
Classic Hop-on Hop-off Route:
Ride the red double-deck bus to the Eiffel Tower, Louvre and Arc de Triomphe.
Tip: Board at the first stop of the day to grab an upper deck seat for unblocked photos
Seine River Cruise:
Enjoy a 1-hour cruise included with the Essential ticket.
Tip: Sit on the open deck at sunset for skyline views and golden-hour light
Panoramic Night Tour:
See illuminated landmarks on a 2-hour evening loop.
Tip: Pre-book your €32 ticket and arrive 10 minutes early to choose a front-row seat
Self-Guided Walking Tours:
Use the free Vox app for themed foot tours around hop-off stops.
Tip: Download routes before boarding and follow the map between stops
In summer, start before 10:00 to avoid crowds on board. In winter, buses run less often—check the schedule and dress in layers for the open deck.

I absolutely loved how Big Bus Tours are a convenient way to move around Paris. Unlike other place in the world, in Paris it can be a substitute for a transportation to move from place to place during the day and early evening. Remember, Paris is a very big city! Although, it’s a beautiful experience to walk around the city as well. We took one whole circle and then decided where we would like to ...

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 ...
