Explore Paris with a 24-hour or 48-hour hop-on-hop-off bus pass with ten stops. Travel to the second floor of the iconic Eiffel tower on a guided tour. Admire city sights like Notre-Dame from the water on a Seine River cruise. 

Start the tour by meeting your guide at the Eiffel Tower. You will be accompanied to the second floor by your guide to marvel at the spectacular views over Paris. You can also visit the summit if you booked the option.

Hop off at strategic stops to visit iconic monuments such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum.

Also included in this package is a 1-hour cruise on the Seine River, which you can take at any time during your stay. Admire the UNESCO-listed buildings lining the riverbanks, including the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, Notre-Dame de Paris, and the Conciergerie.

We enjoyed the 2nd floor Eiffel Tower visit in the morning but weather overcast so bought evening tickets for visit to summit. Well worth extra as weather brilliant. We then took the Bateaux Parisienne for Seine round trip. This is good way to see all central Paris from the Seine. Only drawback was we sat down below as top deck full of VERY NOISY school children. So not such a good view! The third part of combined ticket was the Hop-on Hop-off Big Bus. Very crowded and probably would not meet UK health and safety standards. We were allowed on to the bus and went to top deck. It was already full with people standing and we had no time to retrace our steps and get off before driver pull away! We remained standing most of journey. It is a good way to see the Central Paris landmarks but not STANDING!

It was so easy. There were two gentlemen there to meet the small group at the arranged meeting point. Very friendly and really straight forward. I didn't book the Louvre Museum, but a point to note, it is free to under 26, you just need to take ID. I was in Paris with my son, and he commented on how nice and friendly these people were, and how easy they made it! Do use them for whatever you are looking to book!! Most importantly, enjoy!

Excellent package. Time saved was the best advantage, vs waiting in line for the Eiffel Tower. The cruise was nice, and the Big Bus hop-on/off was an decent way to see a lot and to travel between areas of interest. The only negative is that the busses aren't very clean, littered with trash, and lacking any orderly process in regards to boarding and getting off. For those who choose not to listen on the bus with earphones, the driver should be announcing arrival at each scheduled stop. Other than that, we were satisfied with everything included in this package!
