The bus staff was friendly and knowledgeable..We enjoyed the tour very much. WE WERE ABLE TO HOP OFF AND ON EASILY PLUS SEE ALL THE SIGHTS. Well worth our time and money.
Kimberly_D, Mar 2026
I can see the appeal for this bus, but it didn't seem to come around as often as we expected and we often found ourselves walking instead of waiting. I also didn't realize the bus only went in one direction so if you needed to go somewhere at the end of the route it would take a very long time to get there. We paid for 3 days and only ended up using it once one day.
Shannon_R, Mar 2026
The ride was great! The stops were a little long. But over all great experience.
We enjoyed the convenience of the tour.
DavidP, Mar 2026
We loved seeing the city. Very slow travel at end of day though. Staff very helpful! They speak English well also.

My husband I hopped aboard our first afternoon in the city. With light drizzle and a long journey, this activity was perfect to sight see most iconic sites! Although there was rain, we were able to be seated (open seating) under the covered portion of the upper deck. The stop we took, stop 1, was perfectly labeled and the address in the TootApp takes you directly there (metro adjacent- a quick train ride to the stop put us 300 ft away from the pick up location). Our goal was just to go for a ride and not "hop off" and we enjoyed the 2 hour ride marveling at the beauty the city has to offer and get the lay of the land. Once on board you scan your ticket and grab a pair of disposable headphones. The commentary and music were just enough! You are provided context of what you're seeing and some key "not known" facts! Now we are doing a city tour tomorrow but as a welcome to the city-- a great start!
Nicki_S, Feb 2026
Easy to book received tickets via email bus was as scheduled every 15 minutes easy to find stops friendly staff
Sheena_L, Jan 2026
We lost our bag on the bus and the amazing staff called until they found it and took us to retrieve it!
Greg_D, Dec 2025
Love the buses but the earphone messages seemed to repeat themselves and then driver would correct direction!!
James_P, Nov 2025
Great value for getting around to major sites. Buses were well maintained. Audio was entertaining, insightful, with a touch of humor. Buses arrived frequently.
Tracy_G, Oct 2025
Do not book. Could never find pickup locations. You will be better off walking around on your own. .
Karin_A, Oct 2025
The app works well. Be aware that traffic is bad in Paris, so the bus will be slow in places. It gives you a decent overview.
mary_p, Oct 2025
Using the toot bus was a bit difficult to find the on-off spots. But once you got the hang of it it wasn't so bad. They could do with better labeling on their app. But using the bus was great and convenient. Definitely would recommend it for a family traveling to see many sites of interest.
Sharon_H, Oct 2025
The driver/audio program did not clearly announce that we had arrived at the designated stops. There was one we really wanted to see but we didn't get off since we didn't realize we were at that particular stop. Disappointing as we didn't have time to circle back around.
tracy_s, Oct 2025
Had a great time. Hits all the highlights of Paris. Tour guide Rami was amazing and I learned a lot about the history of France. He was very gracious about taking photos for us. Be prepared to walk a lot but worth it. Great tour for a first time trip to Paris
KarenF, Oct 2025
This bus drives you around landmarks. There are headphones that tell you about each landmark. I would prefer to have a human tour guide but this was a nice way to get around the busy cities.
My headphones didn’t work so I had to use the app and I just didn’t enjoy that as much.
Diane_W, Sep 2025
Really doesn’t go many places - the audio wasn’t working - kept repeating or not working at all so we didn’t know what we were looking at . Total waste of our money .
Patricia_L, Sep 2025
Good overall view of major tourist sights in Paris. Liked audio feature
in many languages. Slow because traffic in Paris is very busy
Dennis_P, Sep 2025
There was an event in Paris that seem to disrupt Toot Toot service while Big Bus adapted. We were forced to hire a cab when no buses came and the agent pointed us to a stop over a mile away. The next day we found many buses running but they were slow and seemed to spend a long time at some stops unnecessarily. It was taking so long to get there that I got off and took the Metro. There were very few descriptions of the numerous notable landmarks that we passed and much of the time we spent listening to elevator music as we passed landmarks that were shown on the map but never described. That was very disappointing!
The cruise and the cruise guide were excellent! The narration was in French and English by a knowledgeable guide and we learn more on the one hour cruise than we had touring the entire city by bus.
marcella_f, Sep 2025
Easy riding and helpful drivers.
Easy to locate and many buses going around.
Easy listening in English language.
Alan_S, Sep 2025
Good route too see a lot of the Paris sights. Once done the full tour, used bus as transport from sight to sight.
Cruise boat close to one of the bus stops (easy access) close too the Eifel Tower.
Cruise boat very enjoyable, Guide very knowledgeable .
Carolyn_M, Sep 2025
Beware. Never got the QR code. Ended up having to pay for the tickets in Paris. We were stuck at the louvre and no one was willing to help. After we ended up buying the tickets again, the operator said oh… you just needed to show me. We did show him! Awful!
Katrina_F, Sep 2025
We rode the route to determine where we wanted to get off and buy entrance/shop/eat . This was great necause then we could target and make the most of our 1 day ticket.
Alan_M, Sep 2025
The bus drive was pretty good and extensive. However, the headphones didn't always work and the recording wasn't always in sync! We booked for 2 days so that we could spend some time at several locations. Even though the recording/headphones weren't always working, It was worth the money for the tour of Paris.
Philip_A, Aug 2025
Great way to see the city. Full commentary available to explain the points of interest and hits all the major attractions.

Good way to see the sights, the toot bus app was accurate on how long the next bus would arrive. Add the cruise option, totally worth it.

Ticket was only valid for day use. You need a separate ticket for evening route... pick up locations were close to the landmarks so that was nice.

craig_t, Jul 2025
Loved the bus ride. Would have been enhanced by more human interaction but it was wonderful on the river cruise. Honestly only thing more that could be added to the bus was refreshments or a human tour guide but everything was perfect

An easy way to find your way around Paris and see most of the iconic landmarks - good to get your bearing and hop on/off if you are short of time and want to pack a lot in without walking too far. The commentary was below average so have a little knowledge of where you are heading and what you might be seeing before you go.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
