The city tour was very good. It makes you realize how close the sights are to each other. The only problem we had was finding the departure point. We wanted to get on at the Grand Palais. But we couldn't find a stop. I opened the help chat via the app. We then found out that the stop had been moved due to the national holiday tomorrow. We were then directed to the next one.
All in all, however, it was very good and the Seine trip was also nice.

The route allowed us to see the top sights in 2 hours. The river cruise rounded off the experience. The frequency of the buses is very short and so there were no waiting times. However, we did not receive a map or the offer of headphones. 🎧
We used the app for the audio guide, but this was a bit cumbersome. It was also difficult to identify the route in the app.
All in all, however, we received exactly the offer we were looking for.

The Eiffel Tower tour guide was excellent & a special mention to our guide "Hendrick" who was professional/ very informative & had a great sense of humour. I personally thought he helped to pass the time queing & made the whole experience a joy ***** 5 stars from me & my daughter. The hop on hop off Tootbus was again a great means to see all the treasures of Paris & with the audio information made it even better, again ***** 5 stars 👍 Thank you 🤩

Good tour - enjoyed overall - thank you. Didn't receive a confirmation email which very much spooked me in to thinking I had mis-booked or been scammed. The App is ok, but not brilliant. The QR code ticket made it easy and paperfree. The maps were good with the route on, but there are a few niggles where selecting the filters overhangs 80% of the screen space so you can't really see where you are. The buses were good but vary in quality - first one the audio guide didn't work properly - maybe the driver forgot to start. The USB sockets were very welcome but also didn't work on 2 out of 3 that we were on. Timings for the river cruise wasn't obvious to us, so we ended up missing it as we turned up at 18:00 on a beautiful summers day (which didn't feel an unreasonable time) so sadly we missed out on that. A route that went up to Montmatre/Sacre Couer/Moulin Rouge would also have been nice. Overall though, really good experience and thanks for accomodating us :)

Generally a nice idea. But we couldn't use every bus. A lot of packaging waste because of the headphones. This could be solved differently. Only headphones with an aux connection can be used. The bus was dirty. The translation stuttered and the pitch was very unpleasant.

The courtesy of the bus drivers, always kind and attentive to the passengers. The itinerary that covered almost all the main points of 'interest. The very good app with the real-time location of the buses and directions to the nearest stop. I had already used Tootbus with satisfaction in Brussels, in Paris I had confirmation of the quality of the service: definitely better than the well-known competitor with the red buses.

The bus ride was all right except the volume control on the minijack system didn't work. Neither did I like the repeating and often belated messages on the loudspeaker about getting our cameras out because something great was about to appear. On the opposite end of the scale was the guide on the boat trip. She was outstanding!!!! Interchanging constantly between English and French, with solid information in a pleasant voice and the occasional funny remark all along the voyage. She spoke more or less constantly, byt not for one moment did we think it was too much or uninteresting. Impressive!

Good experience, this hop on hop off system allows you to visit the city over the course of a day, which is really appreciated when you're here for just a weekend. Explanations in the headphones in several languages and a version adapted for children, unfortunately a lot of music and the explanations start too quickly when the bus starts, we just had time to put on the headphones!

This what a really great way to visit all of the sites and learn more about the history of the city. There were multiple opportunities and multiple angles to take photos of landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower. It was lovely to be in the fresh air and have the perspective from the top of the bus. The sunset sites were spectacular. We would definitely recommend this to friends.

It's a good trip to do. Sit and relax while the bus takes you through Paris. Due to summers and sun going down at 10pm only, half the tour is during doesn't give you the glimmering Paris experience. Just keep that in mind.
That's something none of the tour operators can help with though :)

This trip was a complete waste of both time and money. We met up 30 minutes before, the guide rushed us up on the roof on an alrready crowded bus, while we continued to stay still for the next 50 minutes. The seats were wet, The tour had multiple stops, where we stood still for 20-30 minutes, without considering being stuck in traffic, which i dont blame you. Both the audio ports on the bus was broken. We ended up going downstairs after a while just to get audio since all the seats upstairs was taken. The trip overall was not worth it at all and i was really dissapointed as my girlfriend loves christmas and was really looking forward to this.

The route allowed us to see the top sights in 2 hours. The river cruise rounded off the experience. The frequency of the buses is very short and so there were no waiting times. However, we did not receive a map or the offer of headphones. 🎧
We used the app for the audio guide, but this was a bit cumbersome. It was also difficult to identify the route in the app.
All in all, however, we received exactly the offer we were looking for.

We saw so much.
Everyone could just sit upstairs.
There were plenty of buses!
And especially the Eiffel Tower with the flashing lights was top notch.
We got there just in time.

This what a really great way to visit all of the sites and learn more about the history of the city. There were multiple opportunities and multiple angles to take photos of landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower. It was lovely to be in the fresh air and have the perspective from the top of the bus. The sunset sites were spectacular. We would definitely recommend this to friends.
