Paris Evening Tour on an Open-Top Bus

Paris, France

Tour the world's most romantic city on an open-top coach ride through Paris at night. On a balmy summer's evening, this nonstop after-dinner tour of the "City of Light" is the best way to see Paris's night-time illuminations.

As you glide through the streets of Paris in an open-top coach, your guide will share the history of Paris and its illuminated monuments, streets and squares: Concorde and Vendome Squares, Opera, Madeleine Church, rue Royale, the Avenue Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, Trocadero, Invalides, Notre-Dame Cathedral and more.

In summer, tours will partially take place during sunlight as it does not get dark until much later in the evening.

Very disappointed. Rude driver and no guide.

Review by: Karen E	September 2011
This was a fantastic way to view Paris at night with all the lights. The highlight of this tour is when we pulled up in front of the Eiffel Tower at the moment it started to 'twinkle'. The open top was a great way to get a 'feel' of Paris.

Love this one! My 2nd time using this one, its on the list every time we have relatives come visit. My only complaint is that it is very hard to get good pictures because you are always moving. But the stop in front of the Eiffel Tower lasts the longest. The bus is booked to only fill the top seats so no hurrying to get up there.

It would be a lot better if there was an actual person delivering the information. Sometimes the audio was out of phase with the location or it was unclear where to look. The music was Christmas music with way too much repetition.

Review by: Susana S	August 2011
worth the cost. The negative is that it ends late, at a time when the Metro is not always reliable

a different way to see Paris. Take a jacket, it can get cold at night plus the air flow of the movement. Also take snacks !.

Review by: Richard D	July 2011
The trip was drawn out in order to justify the price. Could have been done in one hour. The music was really bad and the same tracks were repeated and repeated. Heard Jingle Bells at least 6 times and Auld Langsyne about the same. Often the commentary came on after we had passed the point of interest. Wouldn't do it again. Very poor!

Once we worked out you have to check in at the office before to get a ticket, we found the bus stop fine although the guide was late so we did wonder if we were in the right queue. Once on the tour it was a great way to see Paris all lit up. we both enjoyed it and would recommend it to friends and family.

This was a total disaster. It absolutely poured with rain so we didn't see a thing. Unfortunately this particular bus didn't have the roof or curtains that pull across in case of rain. In addition, the bus just took the same route as the day tours - very disappointing.

Lovely had a great evening and were enven luckily enough to sit at the front. The tour guide however is pre-recoded which would be fine if it wasn't for the random and sometimes annoying music played between snippits of information

I loved this! It was one of my favorite parts of my holiday, a lovely was to see Paris!

Review by: LULU J	August 2010
It was fine, the dely in starting of the trip could have avoided.

Review by: Brenton K, United Kingdom	July 2010
The bus tour itself was great, saw all the sights of Paris all lit up and pretty. The only drawback is you go to the Paris Vision office and wait around, then they lead you to another agency's office which we had to walk by to get to Paris Vision to begin with and then board the open top bus after the Cityrama office's clients board, so you don't get the best choice of seats. I recommend the bus tour, but not through Viator, just go to Cityrama's website and book there to save yourself time, extra walking, and to get on the bus first.

I arranged the Open Top Bus tour for the first night I was in Paris as the trip had been recommended by my parents. I felt it would be a great way to see the city lit up by night and assess my bearings and prioritise attractions to visit. It's a great idea to arrange this for 9.45pm as you get the full benefit of twilight going into darkness. The city and the tour most certainly didn't disappoint. Paris by night is absolutely equisite! I would make one suggestion for improvement though and that relates purely to the commentary. Firstly, there was too much music, often repeated several times over and over again, including somewhat bizarrely for June Christmas carol tunes. I would have preferred to have much less music and more informative commentary given the wealth of history Paris has to offer. That said, I would still recommend this trip for all age ranges and profiles - overall, it was worth the money in my opinion.

_strong_Note from Viator:_/strong_ Thank you for your feedback. This is a non-stop bus tour where you will tour the world's most romantic city on an open-top coach ride through Paris at night.

Review by: Daniela P, Australia	September 2009
I was disappointed that there wasn't actually a tour guide but headphones that you had to plug in to hear about what sights you were seeing, which didn't marry up to what you were seeing anyway. An actual tour guide would have been a lot better.

Review by: Clifford S, United States of America	August 2009
It was very nice, the coach took us around Paris and had someone tell us what everything was, then finished with a stop by the Eiffel Tower to watch it light up. Got lots of great pictures, but we were not allowed to get off the bus at any of the stops.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	July 2009
Wonderful tour! Though it rained before the tour, true enjoyable experience in the bit chilly weather. Covered all the main sights with multilingual commentary!

Review by: Glenda W, Australia	July 2009
This is a great tour but best done on the fringes and not the height of summer as it's still quite light for most of the tour if done in July.
