Easy to start at the Louvre and wind our way around Paris. Not alot of hopping on and off. We only did this once. Great bus ride though and definitely saw all the sites. The "optional" Siene river ride is an extra €16. Be aware.

I didn't find that the stops were at the most convenient locations , for example the Louvre stop was about a 5-7 minute walk from the museum even though it says there is a stop across from the pyramid. The busses were clean and ran frequently so you never had to wait long for one. The options given for feedback were not really relevant to my situation.

The bus driver left us sitting on the bus for 20 minutes and didn't say a word that he wasn't going any further. He simply aborted the bus journey. That's not acceptable at all. We were very disappointed and had to make a very long journey home with children. Compensation would be desirable here.

Had to stand, not enough seats and so no access to oral guide sockets. Need more buses!!! Should never have been admitted on the bus, no-one properly checking there were enough seats available upstairs, it was too late to get off again so had to stand on moving bus for first 3 stops, not easy when you're in 70s! Poor value in the circumstances and wouldnt recommend!

Easy way to book the ticket and even easier to get it. The bus is easy to find, quick boarding and smooth trip. This route is not as busy as to La Defense so I didn't need to book in advance and yet, it has great connection with Paris centre. Metro station is just across the road and in 20-ish minutes you'll be at Louvre. It was 1,5 hour trip from the Airport and 2 hours back.

What I liked the most was hyperspace Mountain, a fast and enclosed roller coaster, like a trip in space. But I didn't rate it as a great experience because Big Thunder Mountain is closed, under repair 😭. The park is very nice, has lots of rides for little kids and a variety of themed restaurants. The most emotional part of Disneyland Paris is the parade of characters and the closing.

The Hollywood Tower Hotel ride was hands down the highlight of my visit! The suspense builds perfectly, and the free-fall drop gave me such an adrenaline rush! I also appreciated how smooth the entry process was with Headout’s ticketing—super quick and hassle-free. Everything ran so efficiently that I could just enjoy the thrill. This ride absolutely made my day unforgettable!

It was a great day with good weather. I had a nine-year-old girl with me who really enjoyed the street parade and the rides. The free WLAN only worked partially. The signage to the rides and themed areas was missing and made it difficult to find despite the Disneyland map. It was a great experience for us.

Disneyland is an experience in itself and sometimes very exhausting because of the long waiting times and the evening show is very late. There is definitely a lack of outdoor seating. The boat tour on the Sein was professionally run by the local companies. We were there very early and the boat was only half full. However, with the ticket we could have gone at a different time and on a different day. This should have been made clearer on the ticket or when booking. As it is now, it is confusing.

Easy to use and informative. I did the boat cruise plus the bus and would recommend doing both, seeing the city from both perspectives. I did make a mistake in assuming that the river cruise had two stops so missed my spot at Notre Dame, but other than that would recommend doing this.

You should have a separate queue in the office for people who just need to validate their online ticket. I had to wait while people were trying to decide which tour to choose.

Seine river cruise is closed from 18th July 2024 to 26th July 2024 because of opening ceremony of Olympics which was not informed to me and I had taken the tickets with seine river cruise, rest all was definitely good about Big Bus, I just expect as I wasn't given access to seine river cruise, money charged for my seine river cruise should be refunded to me for both the passengers. Kindly do the needful and oblige. Thanks and regards, Vikas Garg

I bought a 48-hour ticket. It only printed a 24-hour ticket. I spent hours trying to get to stop 1 because no one could help me. The bus didn't stop twice to get to stop 1, which was very stressful for my elderly mother. It became a very unpleasant experience. Everyone questioned me and made me feel like I'd done the wrong thing when it was a technical problem. At stop 1, they tried to make it clear that I'd done the wrong thing when it clearly said 48 hours HOHO. not a great experience at all. A day spent trying to fix your technology.

We like to use a hop on hop off bus in an unknown city because we see more than walking and using public transport. Paris is a beautiful city, but there is a lot of preparation for the Olympic Games and some sights cannot be visited. Bus drivers were kindly and helpful and they drive very well. There was a problem with online buyed ticket but staff solved it in the Big Bus center.

In 2 days you got a good overview of the most important buildings in Paris. The entrance ticket to the Panthéon gave us new insights into French history. History. Note: Check the functioning of the connection points for the headphones. Twice they did not work.

Our initial bus did NOT take the designated route, he did not take us to the Arc de Triomphe. We stayed on the bus thinking he would do it on the next tour but he didnt and we had to get off at a traffic light and walk to the monument but noticed many more BIGBUS buses taking persons to the site, It totally ,essed up our schedule that day. It was a waste of my time and money. I would prefer to book other smaller cruises tho they are more expensive instead of lining up for more than an hour in sweltering heat being hoarded like cattle. Our tickets were not accepted by the Pantheon staff after walking uphill to the site and then had to take the train back to effiel because our bus was the last in the area. Please coordinate with the admissions persons at the door of the Pantheon as we were denied access and told the tickets were for a bus tour and not admission. We did inform the attendant at Effiel Tower site but tho sympathetic he was not helpful, we were informed that we can use the ticket anytime in the future but we were leaving the ext day and already had other things scheduled. I am very DISSATISFIED as this was my dream vacation and BIGBUS wasted valuable time and caused undue fustration from the very start. Two of the buses we used had no wifi, were old and not kept cleaned, litter were strewn on the floor, I would recommend intermittent cleaning of the bus as wel as bins placed on the bus, so fellow tourists can dispose of their litter. I WILL NOT Recommend anyone using this tour. Spend the the time visiting the sites yourself and reading or listening to the site's audiotour.

Easy to use and informative. I did the boat cruise plus the bus and would recommend doing both, seeing the city from both perspectives. I did make a mistake in assuming that the river cruise had two stops so missed my spot at Notre Dame, but other than that would recommend doing this.

Some of the bus stops are very poorly marked, so we were only able to find one of your employees at the 3rd stop. The bus ride itself was very good and everything worked well with the audio guide. On the boat tour, I found it awkward that a member of staff explained some things while information was also given via the audio guide.

Good route and took in all of the best bits of Paris. The longest we had to wait for a bus was maybe 10 minutes which was great. We were always able to get a seat and the crew members were friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience and I would recommend it

The bus driver left us sitting on the bus for 20 minutes and didn't say a word that he wasn't going any further. He simply aborted the bus journey. That's not acceptable at all. We were very disappointed and had to make a very long journey home with children. Compensation would be desirable here.

Had to stand, not enough seats and so no access to oral guide sockets. Need more buses!!! Should never have been admitted on the bus, no-one properly checking there were enough seats available upstairs, it was too late to get off again so had to stand on moving bus for first 3 stops, not easy when you're in 70s! Poor value in the circumstances and wouldnt recommend!

The hop on, hop off bus tour was yhe best!!! It was a perfect way to travel to the sights of Paris!!! We rode on top on a beautiful sunny Spring day, and everything was lovely! The bus lifts you up above the crowds to make some incredible views possible! Also, the headphones and narration we good (although I think more narration could be done). All in all, well worth the cost!!!

Ticketing experience was great and the experience was fantastic! Our guide for the Eiffel Tower was efficient, friendly and informative and she spoke 5 languages so was able to communicate well with everyone in our group! I liked the format where they facilitate you getting through all the lines and security and get you to the second floor and then show you the elevator for the upper level. You are then free to take your time and wander and take in the views at your own pace with the audio guide to explain what you are seeing. I highly recommend this activity! We also did the boat ride and hop on hop off bus and they were both great!

Easy to start at the Louvre and wind our way around Paris. Not alot of hopping on and off. We only did this once. Great bus ride though and definitely saw all the sites. The "optional" Siene river ride is an extra €16. Be aware.

It is something incredible, full of details that can only be appreciated being in front of true works of art, the closest you can be to wonderful samples that can make an inspired person and can capture from his eyes what he wants to show to those who have the opportunity to see them ... totally recommended.

We actually rode it once in the morning and again that evening. We enjoyed the second tour best because we were able to better pay attention to what was being said and was able to focus on the item being talked about. Got some really nice pictures too.

Everything went very well with tickets. I find it very good to have tickets in Headout app, so I do not need to look them all over emails. Palais Garnier is must place to visit.

I didn't find that the stops were at the most convenient locations , for example the Louvre stop was about a 5-7 minute walk from the museum even though it says there is a stop across from the pyramid. The busses were clean and ran frequently so you never had to wait long for one. The options given for feedback were not really relevant to my situation.

The bus driver left us sitting on the bus for 20 minutes and didn't say a word that he wasn't going any further. He simply aborted the bus journey. That's not acceptable at all. We were very disappointed and had to make a very long journey home with children. Compensation would be desirable here.

Had to stand, not enough seats and so no access to oral guide sockets. Need more buses!!! Should never have been admitted on the bus, no-one properly checking there were enough seats available upstairs, it was too late to get off again so had to stand on moving bus for first 3 stops, not easy when you're in 70s! Poor value in the circumstances and wouldnt recommend!

Unforgettable Eiffel Tower Summit Tour – Thanks to Joanna! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finding our guide was easy, and from the very beginning, Joanna stood out with her professionalism. She gave us a clear safety briefing and set expectations early on—there was no skip-the-line access, and we might have to wait. And we did—almost two hours! But honestly, it didn’t feel that long at all because Joanna kept us thoroughly engaged. With her arsenal of fun facts, quirky trivia, and rich history of the Eiffel Tower, she turned what could’ve been a frustrating wait into an educational and entertaining part of the experience. Her energy, knowledge, and customer service were second to none—hands down the best I’ve encountered during my entire trip in Paris. Joanna didn’t just guide us to the top—she elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended!

I am happy with this experience because it was one of my wife's birthday presents-she was really happy and that's what counts! Unfortunately, however, I must observe that the one and a half hour wait to go up the tower was really too long and inexplicable! Especially since having already bought tickets we should have had priority. Luckily we had a very nice and very good guide Mademoiselle LIZ who entertained us by telling us the history of Eiffel, many funny stories and many anecdotes that made the wait less heavy.

First it started with the purchase of headout, it was actually very pleasant and fast. Since I didn't know how the process works and didn't get a Qr code, I asked for it and got it within 5 minutes. I found it top 1A and would book again in the future. The tour was great it was evening and we had Liz as a guide who did a great job (the story about the Eiffel Tower as well as passing the controls and checkout. We didn't have to worry about anything. P.s. You don't need a Qr code, the name and booking number will be sent. Thank you very much

Admission went perfectly. Ticket for 12:30 - inside the Louvre at 12:32. Whether this was due to the head out - I don't know - I think we would have got in with any other ticket. We had already joined the queue at 11:30 and were therefore right at the front of the line. TIP: Be there 1 hour in advance - then you'll be inside quickly at the specified time - the stewards will make sure of that outside. AND: You first have to show and scan your ticket when you are inside and want to go to one of the halls - not at the entrance, where only the bags are checked (scanner like at the airport) and not down in the hall under the pyramid roof. The better entrance is at the pyramid - not at the Caroussell - it's full everywhere - but it's much better at the pyramid ... Getting out of the Louve is more difficult than getting in - we got lost several times despite flyers and signs - finally found the Caroussell exit where there is a shopping mile. As the mall is already full anyway and then the long queues to get into the Louvre - unbelievable and bad. Outside at the pyramid it is very well organized. But you need at least 3 hours to see a small part of it. It's best to go in twice on different days to see everything. Everyone just wants to see the Mona Lisa anyway - further through the Egyptian finds, total emptiness ...

It is the most interesting museum, and with the audio guide you are immersed in the history of the paintings, it would just need to be better organized for the viewing of the Mona Lisa, to give everyone a way to be able to see it from the front... All in all, a very good experience.

Clean punctual vehicles, kind and considerate staff. Comprehensive historical and customary comments and explanations. Some inaccuracies regarding French cuisine.

I loooooved this! Night tour is absolutely amazing! 2 hours of fun and educational ride with audio guide that is not long and too detailed, but quirky and educational. I would recommend this night ride to everyone because you see all od Paris and learn a lot on the way.

We like to use a hop on hop off bus in an unknown city because we see more than walking and using public transport. Paris is a beautiful city, but there is a lot of preparation for the Olympic Games and some sights cannot be visited. Bus drivers were kindly and helpful and they drive very well.
There was a problem with online buyed ticket but staff solved it in the Big Bus center.

In 2 days you got a good overview of the most important buildings in Paris. The entrance ticket to the Panthéon gave us new insights into French history. History. Note: Check the functioning of the connection points for the headphones. Twice they did not work.
