Usually when I travel to new cities, I like to take a bus tour on the first day to sort of get a layout of the place. The tour itself was pleasant. While I do prefer an actual tour guide that you can interact with, the pre-recorded audio guides worked fine for the most part. There were a few times... More

Great way to see many of the main sights of the city in a relaxed way. We did not choose the hop on and off option, but stayed on board for the approximately 2hour and 15minute tour. After a frenzied few days in Paris, we wanted a relaxed way to see as much as possible to end our week. This... More

if you prefer the hop on hop off busses, i would recommend L'open Top busses instead as they have more and better located stops closer to the attactions that Les Cars Rouges. The busses also stop for quite a long time at some of the stops (possibly to regulate the intervals) but these can be quite long as well. If... More

Had a two day pass bought in advance from Versailles Tourist Office (subject of separate glowing report). Great flexibility, value for money, excellent viewing platform with shelter during heavy showers, pleasant drivers, quite well planned route and reasonable number of stops. Maybe one small glitch, plug -in information system could benefit from less music and more spoken information for commentary.... More

We had a very bad experience with this bus tour. First the driver insisted that we buy a two day pass even though we only wanted a one day of hop on hop off ride. That was just the beginning. He repeatedly yelled at other riders in reponse to questions they asked. He was rude, crude, and generally hostile toward... More

If you are expecting a bus tour of Paris, don't look here. Les Cars Rouges double top buses do not.have an audio that you can hear the speaker. The audio has settings for many languages that you select at your seat and listen with ear buds, which they provide. We rode 3 buses until we found one that was decent.... More

I have used hop on hop off services in many other cities, the Paris service leaves a lot to be desired. The buses were dirty, you would think first trip of the day the bus would be clean, NO! The covered area on the top deck looked like the pigeons had been roosting in it. The commentary continually reminds you... More

Maybe it´s OK to make one round, but for getting around town it´s very slow, and the stopping places changed every time we took the bus, sometimes they just skipped a stop or two, other times it stopped someplace other than the sign. More

Great way to see Paris. I was affordable. The ticket is good for 2 days. The bus comes about every 10 minutes. It hits all of the major attraction.s More
