Loved the timing for the Eiffel Tower light show

Russell_A, Sep 2026
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

Paris at Night- a must see

Tomeka_M, Sep 2026
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...

Shannon_Q, Aug 2026
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.

Must do TOOTBUS night tour

Darren_W, Aug 2026
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?

Great experience

Lynne_B, Aug 2026
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...

Phillip_Y, Aug 2026
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.

Informative!!!

Christina_C, Aug 2026
Very informative even though it's in headphones. Push the button to choose your language. You also can control the volume.

Great experience!

Darin_K, Jul 2026
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...

Joyce_A, Jul 2026
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...

dvbiztch4, Jul 2026
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...

Kylie_N, Jul 2026
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.

Enjoyed but needs improvemnt

Andrea_C, Jul 2026
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.

Super cool!

Leigha_V, Jul 2026
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!

Great way to see Paris the City of Lights lit up

Daley_M, Jun 2026
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.

Please refund as the bus trip had to be aborted

tatnally, Jun 2026
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.

Pictures via window, no true hop on hop off

Sherry_L, Jun 2026
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.

Best of Paris

Ann_L, May 2026
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.

Hey for tower second floor restaurant

Alfred_B, May 2026
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.

Good ride through Paris lights.

Diane_S, May 2026
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...

Tara_B, May 2026
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.

Great Experience

jirf2, May 2026
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!!!

Wonderful views of the city

Stephen_P, Apr 2026
Great tour. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect view of the Eiffel Tower sparkling. My girlfriend got some amazing pictures.

Great night tour

Catherine_G, Apr 2026
Excellent totally got the timing right at the Eiffel Tower too! A great way to spend the last night in Paris!!

Easy way to experience Paris sights

Erin_K, Apr 2026
This was a great way to see all the key tourist sights in one easy activity. Kids loved it and seeing Paris by night from the vantage point of the top tier of the bus was great.

The night tour of Paris...

Quentin_H, Apr 2026
The night tour of Paris was excellent. Being on a short visit time frame we were able to see all the sights we wanted to see and to see them lit up at night added more to the experience.

Toot hop on off at night

Tracy_S, Apr 2026
This bus tour is a great way to see the main sights of Paris. The words on the tour bus were off the area that we were at on the tour. It would also restart at times.

Mixed feelings

Christos_D, Nov 2025
The location for boarding the bus was not as shown on the ticket. We spent about half an hour trying to locate the bus. The audio is not synchronised with the route. This may have been due to the fact that we took a tour at the height of Saturday evening traffic. The audio system worked well as a technology. The staff were courteious and helpful.

Great bus tour!

Sharon_M, Nov 2025
Wonderful experience! Easy to find the pick- up spot, there is a sign for it right across from The Louvre. Earphones allow you to choose whichever guided language you prefer. Tour showed us the main spots in Paris, wonderful 2-hour bus tour and we will definitely recommend this to others!

Less than a handful of...

Patricia_H, Oct 2025
Less than a handful of sights with over an hour and a half spent sitting in traffic…. Not worth the time spent

The pre-recorded...

Angela_w, Oct 2025
The pre-recorded information was behind. We had went by the site and then the information about the site would come on.
