Beautiful to see Paris lights at night. Absolutely worth the cost. Beautiful and informative. The only thing I would say is that when the narrator would say we are going to stop now so you can take pictures we never did. They just kept driving so you had to quickly take a picture before you lost the chance.

The only positive thing I can say is that the young man who took our tickets was very helpful and pleasant. The pre-recorded commentary was useless. There were no directions regarding where to look for individual sites. The "stories" given for some sites were useless. I made a very expensive mistske here.

My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary in Paris. The night tour was a great opportunity to see Paris at night with all the lights. What a beautiful way to see the city with extravagant buildings, monuments, statues, and towers. Get history along the way with supplied headphones. A great way to take pictures and or plan what musuem tours you want to sign up for or just see. Depending on the weather, I recommend taking a jacket and hat. It is cool at night and you will get cold on the top deck.

We would love to welcome you both on board again on your next trip to Paris.

Audio was a bit rough. Cut in and out and repeated itself often. There were 2 buses, which we weren't told. We had to sit downstairs instead of on the open roof because there wasn't room on our bus. Fun to see all the lights of Paris though.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Dear Lauree,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. While we are pleased that you enjoyed seeing the beautiful lights of Paris, we are truly sorry that your experience fell short of expectations. The open-top deck is central to the magic of our night tour, and we completely understand your frustration at having to sit downstairs without prior notice regarding the two buses and seating capacity. We also sincerely apologize for the audio guide cutting in and out and repeating itself. Our technical team has been alerted to inspect the onboard equipment on these vehicles, and we are reinforcing communication among our boarding staff to better manage guest seating and expectations. We would appreciate the opportunity to look into this further for you. Please reach out directly to our customer care team with your booking reference so we can assist you.

Awesome way to see city lights . As we didn't know our way around Paris this trip makes it easy to relax and take in all the lights of Paris

Pretty nice way to see the sites at night all lit up! Bus was easy to find and there are headphones with prerecorded audio on the various sites we passed.
FOR THE BEST PHOTOS (For Those who care about angles and are easily annoyed by obstructions ruining a great shot)
If you sit on the top deck- DONT SIT UNDER THE GLASSTOP! Sit in the truly open air seats in the back. The water droplet stained glass top will ruin a good pic. And you’ll spend time missing shots while trying to get pictures between rail bars and dodging other people’s cameras and heads so they don’t get in your shots!! It’s about 50/50 on which side of the bus is best for the whole tour. I recommend you sit on the right side if you want the best pics of the Eiffel Tower as we drive right under it! The best Chance Élysées pics are from the back glass-less section on the top —- we drive right under it!

This was a great experience for us. We got to see a lot of Paris in a short amount of time. The one thing I was bummed about was that it doesn’t get dark enough for lights to come on until the tour is over (during the summer). I really wanted to see the Eiffel Tower light up when we drove by but it was still light out. I would definitely do this again though.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Dear Shannon,
Thank you very much for your wonderful 5-star review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a great experience discovering Paris and seeing so many highlights in a short amount of time. During the height of summer, the long daylight hours can indeed mean that the city and the Eiffel Tower are not yet fully illuminated during the earlier part of the tour. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we continuously adjust our departure schedules throughout the season to offer the best possible night views. We are thrilled to know you would do it again, and we look forward to welcoming you back on board for an illuminated ride on your next visit to Paris!
The Tootbus team
It’s a must. The Driver knows exactly when they’re going into the Eiffel Tower to get the light display with the flickering lights and the City is fantastic to see at night. Must say if you need to use a toilet before you go make sure you go before you get to the Louvre because the toilets close at 8pm and you are on board for two hours …. just know that you can ask the Driver to let you off at Moulin Rouge if you want to spend the night up there or you’re staying nearby has this pretty much the last siight on this trip?

Dear Darren,
Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you considered our Paris by Night tour a must-do and that our driver timed your arrival at the Eiffel Tower perfectly for the sparkling light display. Paris illuminated at night is truly a magical sight! Thank you also for sharing such helpful, practical tips for fellow travelers regarding the route and planning ahead. We look forward to welcoming you on board again on your next visit to Paris!
The Tootbus team
Loved that we were all seated on the top deck. They do not open the lower enclosed level for this tour I believe. We saw all the highlights and the tour was perfectly timed to the lighting of the Eiffel Tower! Great tour
This was a pleasant way to take in a lot of the sights of Paris. The audio was pretty cheesy but open air bus was perfect on a perfect evening.
Very informative even though it's in headphones. Push the button to choose your language. You also can control the volume.
Not much needs to be added to the beauty of Paris at night. The route was well thought out and just letting the sights speak for themselves is enough. The audio guide was well written and informative! Great experience!
It's c9nfusing figuring out where to get bus so allow extra time. The recorded narrative for the tour repeated when we went by some of the same places. Overall, we did enjoy it, 3dpeciallt once it actually got dark around 10pm.
Nighttime tour was very good if your goal was to see the monuments lit up. But the recording was not properly synced up to what we were seeing and kept repeating. It was frustrating. We did however wind up right in front of the EiffelTower as it lit up and began to sparkle. Wirth the price of the tour!
The drive itself was lovely, saw all the main historical points. The disappointment was we were not told to bring headphones, and so missed out on the information for those sights.
The audio did not match the visual. We took your because we wanted to see and hear about landmarks Although visuals were beautiful the audio was confusing.
The meeting point was hard to miss. The buses are very large and brightly colored. It took 3 buses because nobody wanted to be on the lower deck inside while all the amazing viewpoints were outside! We were the last group at 9pm. They give you ear plugs that plug into the bus, you pick the channel matching the language you want 2 for English. There is a volume button as well. We saw the city in a way that is not possible in any other setting. It was perfect and amazing. The only thing that could have made it better was if the Eiffel Tower had light up while we were there between 10pm and 1005pm. Absolutely recommend!
Meeting place was convenient and easy to find. It started at a good time of evening so we had an opportunity to make use of the majority of the day. Even though we were visiting towards the end of June, when sunset was 10 PM, we were able to see the City of Lights in all it’s brilliance. It finishes across from where it started, across from the Louvre Art Museum. The Eiffel Tower was within view for us to see the nightly light show.
Could you please make contact with me? Our trip was aborted halfway through as the bus in front got caught on a concrete footing. We were left on the bus for half an hour and then told to find their own way home in the middle of Paris. nobody‘s fault but I would like a refund.
Using the headphones was nice but the recorded voice was not in English. I was thinking the different channels was the way to select your native language. Also, the bus did not really stop for you to get off and on nor did the driver offer it at the stops.
FABULOUS TOUR of Paris!!!!! We saw so many of the BEST SITES and the blinking lights on the Eiffel Tower were timed perfectly with the tour. Our driver was EXCEPTIONAL!!!! We will do this tour again when we return.
Restaurant was awesome.Service was great.The only thing is, they hurry you up a little bit.But it was well worth it.I'd highly recommend.
Great, different view of Paris with all the lights. Commentary could use some work. Name of dite and a little history. Also, timing for buildings was off, often too early or late. Passengers looking for a place that has already passed.
Great way to see the city at night especially the Eiffel Tower without standing in that crowd! Very relaxing after a long day of walking.
Fun tour - the time flew by. Paris at night is beautiful and the tour covered a lot of the city! The traffic is also insane and the driver was incredible!!!
Great tour. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect view of the Eiffel Tower sparkling. My girlfriend got some amazing pictures.
Excellent totally got the timing right at the Eiffel Tower too!
A great way to spend the last night in Paris!!
