We booked our Big Bus Paris tour through Klook, and it was incredibly easy to use. After booking, we received an instant voucher that was hassle-free to redeem directly at the bus. It’s a great way to skip the confusion of local transport. The best part is the convenience—the bus stops right in front of all the major tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre Dame. We didn’t have to waste time navigating maps or walking long distances between landmarks. We simply hopped off, explored, and hopped back on when the next bus arrived. If you want a no-hassle sightseeing experience that saves your legs while offering great views from the open-top deck, this is definitely the way to go. Highly recommended for first-time visitors!

I took a uber to the pick up point at the Pullman hotel at 8:30 am before the bus leaving at 9 am where the tour agents has a table inside the hotel that make u feel so welcome . the lady in red was so nice n friendly that she offer all passengers a tea or coffee w a delicious biscuit . we can wait till the actual time at 9 am inside the hotel rather than wait outside like my Mont Saint Michel tour at the Pullman Effie hotel . that hotel need u to buy €8 coffee / tea n coke w crossaint than u can use that toilet n wait outside in cold weather before the tour leave ! both are Pullman hotel in Paris but they have different perception for tour agency

On the first day, starting from our accommodation near the Louvre, we took the Big Bus to the Orsay Museum, the Arc de Triomphe observation deck, then went to the Opéra Garnier, saw Lafayette, and returned to our accommodation by Big Bus. On the second day, we had a Parisian breakfast, took a historical English guided tour around Notre Dame, moved to the Eiffel Tower, took a cruise, and visited the Louvre Museum. We were mostly satisfied with everything.

Easy to locate, start at any point, and enjoy the ride! The audio tour made the 2 hour drive worth it! Pick carefully the time you board though! More traffic makes the loop take much longer. I recommend going in the morning, and doing one whole loop first to appreciate the audio tour before hopping off.

Queue at 7:00 PM, doors open at 7:30 PM, food served at 8:00 PM, performance starts around 9:00 PM to 9:15 PM. There's also a warm-up show during dinner. Overall, the performance is rich and wonderful, but I really don't understand French cuisine 😅. But I still highly recommend choosing tickets with dinner, as the seats will be in the middle of the first floor. If you only have champagne tickets, the entry time is later and you can only sit on the side of the first floor or on the second floor.

The service staff were punctual and enthusiastic, the vehicles were clean and comfortable, and the ride was smooth and safe. Even though it rained that day, I was still in a great mood. Highly recommended!

I wanted to do something different in Paris, and I'm so glad I applied. First of all, if you go before the time, people are lined up. You can show your barcode QR code in line before entering the first floor of the church. The people inside don't speak English, so it would be good to write down in French in advance, 'Which seat is mine? Where should I sit?' We were in the middle, but we were lucky enough to be asked to sit in the front, so we moved and sat in the front. There was a choir, and the leading man and woman had solo parts, and since it was in a church, the grandeur was twice as good. After it was over, I looked around the church and came out!
