What riders say
Across these tickets travellers rate Tootbus Paris 3.7 out of 5 from 3,311 reviews.
Being able to hop on and off made traveling more convenient however I would recommend the map have more detail on exactly where the bus stops are. It would’ve made it easier for me to locate the stops if I knew the two streets on either end of it.
Great bus and worked well. Done Big Bus and the like and this was solid and no complaints. Very convenient especially with the app to track it. I would recommend.
Very friendly and fun! That’s the way to see Paris for the first time. I would recommend this to anyone!
Best time to ride
Spring and early autumn give mild weather and long daylight for the open top deck; summer afternoons are busy and warm, and winter is cold with shorter days. Mornings are quieter at the Eiffel Tower and Louvre stops.
