    Not at the fault of the bus company, but there was a marathon this day that we had reserved for and had a hard time getting to where we wanted to meet the bus. I had requested a refund and still have not heard back.

  • 5BigBus Day Pass Worthwhile

    Clean buses with stops at the majority of Paris' attractions. Plenty of busses so waiting isn't excessive. Audio provided helps you know where you are and what you're looking at.

About Paris

Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.

The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.

Top-ranked sights in Paris: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
