Big Bus Tour was good, the Arc de triumphe was FANTASTIC - Big bus tour is a great way to get around Paris along with audio guides to explain what you are looking at. The tickets to go to the top of the Arc de triumphed were worth every penny (or Euro) the view from the top of the monument is breath taking and the historical movie inside is riviting.

A Fantastic Tour for Enjoying The Beauty of Paris - We recently experienced the Big Bus Hop-On Hop-Off tour during our trip to Paris. The buses were clean and comfortable, and the explanations in multiple languages was informative. With stops at major sights like the Eiffel Tower and Louvre, it made sightseeing fun and memorable. Prices were about €39 for a 1-day pass, which felt reasonable for the convenience provided. Overall, it’s an efficient way to explore Paris at your own pace. Highly recommend!

Arc Views - Enjoyed the view from the top! Lots of stairs but worth the climb. At 6:30pm you can see the presentation to the unknown soldier

Good way to see Paris - We were lucky and had good weather and sat on top in the open air, the bus driver was helpful in answering questions and this is a great way to see Paris. We did not get off and we saw most of the sites we wanted to, grab a brochure and headphones and hang on, the traffic is horrendous but the bus driver did a great job. We didn’t see one accident but I would never want to drive in Paris, thank you Big Bus!

I enjoyed the tour. I walk with a cane and the staff was quick to help me through the line and to an elevator. - I found that the story of the Arc de Triomphe shows the pride of the French. I loved being able to see the city from the roof from several vantage points. I took photos and found the view breathtaking.

Paris tour - The tour was okay, a few of the voice boxes did not work, so had to jump around to find one that worked properly. Also read the fine print, the tours stop awfully early and you may not have transport, we got stranded at the Effile Tower and had to take a taxi back to our hotel.

Terrible - The Big Bus tour advertises that buses come every 6-12 minutes. We have waited at stop #4 for 50 minutes and the bus is still not here. Very frustrating.

Waste of money - It didn’t go to half the places, we weren’t told this at booking but when we were boarding. Waste of money, too long, don’t recommend

Bad service - Had bought a ticket for Big Bus tours in Paris. There are no stops on both sides of the road, which means that you have to go around with the same tour several times if you have got off and walked around. We sat on a trip for 45 minutes without any stops because the driver did not drive the route that was in their program. At 18.15 the driver stopped the trip and asked everyone to get off the bus as she was not going to drive any more, even though the website says that they run until 8.30 p.m. It does not respond to complaints about their website.

Don't book with viator. Terrible customer service - Don't book with viator! On the app it said my 48h excursion started on 31 march and was for only 24h; I thought I recalled I bought it to start on 30 march. Contacted viator by WhatsApp, they said it was indeed 31 March and 24h. When I went to get the tickets big bus said it had started on 31 march and was for 48h. Sent all of this and the screenshot of the conversation with viator and was denied a partial refund!
