We bought the 5 day pass and were glad we did! Located on the Seine River, the Batobus makes 8 stops at major attractions including the Eiffel Tower, Musee D'Orsay, Notre Dame and the Louvre. You can get on and off anytime and anywhere you want for as long as your pass is valid. With boats coming every 15-20 minutes,... More

Hop on and hop off 15 Euros, takes you to all the major attractions. No toilet on board. Vending machine. Plenty of seats. Top tips stand at the back for best views.

An excellent and scenic way to get around Paris including 8 boat stops. A 2-day pass is 17 Euros, which is not a bad deal. However, be careful as there may be a lot of waiting for a boat and the stairs from upper levels to docking areas usually are long and tiring to do on hot Paris summer days.... More

When we went to purchase a Batobus pass today, we found out for the first time that two of the Batobus stations were closed. Although the notice on the Batobus site now makes that plain - it was not as clear a few days ago. As well, the reduced service is mostly useless but there is no reduction in price.... More

It is a great way to see 8 of the main attractions in paris at a really great price. We paid 51 euro for a family of 2 adults and 3 kids.

The batobus was very pleasant. The seats look new and the views are great. It doesn't have that many stops but Paris is very walkable.

If you dislike traveling by Metro or bus, this can be your answer. Just keep in mind the boats only reach sites convenient to the river. You will still need other means of transport to see the numerous Parisian attractions that lie away from the Seine. As it is, the Batobus will take you to eight locations, some of which... More

If you want to cruise on the Seine, this is a great option. It honestly doesn't work great for the hop on/off feature because it isn't time efficient in terms of waiting for the next bus vs walking, but what we liked about it is the ability to get off when we wanted vs doing the whole circuit, and being...

Bought the 2 days tickets and had a good experience. Saw all the major points of Paris. Also it was relaxing just to sit down and watch the scenic view. Remember, we had a cappuccino for 6, 50 € . Only because we need to relax from walking. Batobus is the better way to relax. But also: no restrooms aboard.

The best thing about about Batobus is really simplifies Paris for beginners and gets you to most visited sites. Getting from Louvre to Eiffel tower might be a daunting task by Metro...which line? where's the closest station? where do i transfer? etc etc. With Batobus it is both relaxing and scenic. Cost is reasonable...2nd day is virtually nothing, maybe 3... More
