Europe Girls Tour

Kelly_B, Apr 2026
I have been on many bus tours and have to say that this is one, if not, the best your. We started our trip in Paris on the tour bus, and finished our trip to Paris the same way. To start, we rode the entire route then decided which attractions we wanted to jump off at on the next loop. The night tour is an excellent option and to see all the sites at night is incredible. The highlight of the night tour is definitely the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower. The Tower is always lit up at night, but you see thousands of twinkling lights start (on the hour) was a sight to behold.

Missed the bus because...

Missed the bus because the directions to the start was terrible for someone who has never been to Paris. Tootbus should assume most people don’t know the area and the instructions and directions need to be more detailed and clear.

A Rainey Vacation

Sandra_R, Sep 2024
The rain and cold weather prohibited me from having a good time. The driver that picked us up was not nice at all.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hello Sandra, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, it is valuable to us. We are sorry that the weather was not favorable on the day of your visit. We wish we could control the weather and give you the weather of your dreams all year round. Let's be realistic, we won't succeed, however, we do our best to plan for it and cover our buses (totally or partially) in order to protect you on board. We hope to see you again soon on board one of our buses in better weather so that you can fully enjoy it! The Tootbus Team

Great way to see the heart of Paris!

Jennifer_I, May 2022
This was a great way to see some major sites in quick manner. It was also great to not have to walk to all of them. It was a great way to rest and take in the sites of Paris. Highly recommend!

Bus Tour

Was a nice tour, needs better sighs for each bus stop. One bus, the tour narrator was not working. Switch bus colors not convenient.

Ride around Paris

Diane L, Oct 2019
The audio guide was fairly informative. However we passed numerous monuments and amazing looking buildings that could have been described.

Nice way to view Paris hot spots!

Kristen_K, Apr 2019
So glad we decided to do this tour with such little time in Paris. We got to see all of the popular tourist spots in the comfort of the bus! Great way to see the sites with little time.

Good deal

Provide access to the City and a good overview. Enjoyed the Night Lights tour.Bought the three days pass, which was well worth it as is was just a little more expensive than the one or two day pass.

Five of us booked the Hop On Hop Off...

Maribeth_O, Jul 2018
Five of us booked the Hop On Hop Off bus with Viator for our two days in Paris. It was fine until I sat in the bottom level front seat and watched as the bus driver texted, talked on the phone and read while he was driving. He had to be reminded by me to move when a light changed. Even though it was far from our stop, I decided that after a few near misses our group got off the bus. I took pictures of him texting and reading and he didn't even notice. I reported him to the office of the tour bus company and to Viator. Viator even gave me a reference number and said someone would be calling back and they never did. I have booked with Viator for years all over the world and have never been so disappointed. Now I question if I should sit on the upper part of the bus since I have no clue what the driver is up to! I am mostly disappointed in Viator that they never followed up with me.

rausgeschmissenes Geld

Anja_B, Aug 2020
Im Vorfeld wurden wir informiert, dass wieder alles normal liefe. Als wir unseren Gutschein einlösten wurden wir informiert das Coronabedingt nur eine statt vier Linien befahren wurden. Außerdem wurden nur an 5 Stellen gehalten. So dass wir unser drei-Tage-Ticket nur an einem Tag genutzt haben. Bei der Fahrt wurden extrem lange Pausen eingelegt um z.B. die Ansagen mal auf den tatsächlichen Standort anzupassen, denn die passten aufgrund des zügig möglichen Fahrstils und der fehlenden Stopps an der Strecke, nicht zur Fahrstrecke. Weiterer Nachteil, Fotografieren war ohne Wackler nicht möglich. Der Zweck, bequem alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu besichtigen, war nicht gegeben. In der Nachttour wurde trotz angekündigtem Regenschauer ein Bus ohne Dach eingesetzt. Als es dann Mitte der Tour anfing zu schauern konnten, flüchteten alle vom Oberdeck, fotografieren aufgrund des Fahrstils und später wg. den Fensterscheiben nicht möglich und der Clou ein Jahr nach dem Brand in Notre Dame wurde noch von dem frisch renovierten Gotteshaus gesprochen.
