Paris Illuminations Night Tour

Paris, France

There's nothing quite like Paris at night! On this introductory illuminations tour you'll watch Paris transform into the "City of Light". You'll also learn about Paris' history through your onboard commentary as you tour the city's tree-lined boulevards with their animated cafes and brilliantly illuminated monuments and squares.

In summer, watch Paris sparkle as the sun sets and day turns to night. Darkness falls earlier from autumn to spring, and the famous illuminations also light up earlier.

Sights on your Paris illuminations tour around the capital include Place de la Concorde Square, Place Vendome, Opera, Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, Trocadero, Invalides, Notre Dame Cathedral and Place du Chatelet.

If you have already seen the sites of Paris, I wouldn't recommend doing the tour.

Great night tour

Review by: merlinrnr	January 2012
Could have taken any city bus instead of this tour. The commentary is pre-recorded and not very interesting. Tour office operators were quite rude.

Review by: VIVEK B	January 2012
Good but of very short time. Should have allowed to stop at Eiffel tower for few minutes

Review by: Hills	January 2012
We arrived on Christmas day and this was a fantastic way to take in the sights and lights of Paris on our first night. The driver was prompt, friendly and informative. He couldnt have been more helpful or given us a better feel for Paris.

Review by: Debra M	January 2012
this was a pretty good tour although it would have been fun to jump out at a few locations and take pictures. the guide was very nice and knowledgeable.

Review by: Kunal T	December 2011
the tour was nice but it would have been better if we stopped at each of the places even for half a minute, so that we could atleast click photos properly. i could not click good photos of any of the monuments because we didnt not even stop for 10 seconds at a place. rest was nicely organised.

gud

Review by: dave	November 2011
The trip was fine, enjoyable, except for the fact at the start of the trip we were told English commentry was channel 1 when in fact it was 16. _br/_ Don't believe there are three drop off points. We were all dropped off back at the start. We wanted Opera as I only had directions from there to get to Moulin Rouge, no help from the driver, kept saying Opera yes here._br/_ VERY disappointed with Viator as they had not booked my tour at all, so if it was full we would have missed out. The whole reason I booked with Viator was to reserve a place. I'm worried now about my Vegas trips...

I had a wonderful time with this tour. Definitely worth going for first time visitors to Paris. I was disappointed the Christmas lights wasn't up yet but it was still and amazing tour.

Review by: Dat T	November 2011
Highly recommended for first time visitors like myself. Paris is to be seen at night and this was the best way.

Review by: Franco	November 2011
A nice overview. Recommend that you do it on your first day. Too bad that there was no stopping to allow for picture taking.

Review by: Barbara C	October 2011
Loved the tour at night. Was close by the metro station so we were able to find the meeting place with ease.

Review by: Carol M	October 2011
Take the big bus with the picture windows. The van tour is more difficult to see the views of Paris and the lights. It was good to be driven for an evening after 2 days of walking all over Paris! This is best done possibly the first night as an orientation to the city. It was a bit rainy so being in the vehicle was choice!

good tour!

Paris Night Tour is amazing!!!

Review by: rosemarie s	October 2011
good tour

Review by: Graham F	October 2011
Staff was not that friendly. The headphones on the bus did not work and we were sent to the wrong address as shown on the booking. It was not a great experience.

Review by: E B	September 2011
The sights were absolutely wonderful but the tape on the bus did not run in time with the sights.

Review by: Travelplanner	September 2011
This tour was a little disappointing. Our guide, who's name escapes me, was wonderful and very knowedgable. It was not as spectacular as I thought it would be. We only saw the Eiffel Tower light show from a distance, which was a shame as it would have been a sight to see close up.

Review by: Juan P	August 2011
A very boring tour of illuminations, only the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees was the color of lights, It is the same as the Hoop On, Hoop Off bus daily tour with the same comments, if I had know, a stroll along the Seine by boat would have been better choice.

Review by: Robyn O	August 2011
A great tour and a great tour guide.

Review by: Rita A	August 2011
Everything was organized properly and in time. Paris was beautiful. Weather was perfect and we enjoyed the trip.

Review by: Maggie M	August 2011
Awesome! What more needs to be said?

Review by: Reshawn D	August 2011
Excellent opportunity to get night photos of all of the main Paris attractions.

Review by: nilknarf k	July 2011
It was a great tour. The only thing missing was that there were no 5-10 minutes stops at the attractions in order to take pictures.

Review by: frank a	July 2011
Very interesting to get a little insight of Paris and France's past.

Review by: Tu T	July 2011
very bad tour, i would not recommend this one. I got off the bus early it was so bad.

Review by: Linda N	June 2011
We took this tour June 14th.....sorry to say, we cannot recommend it. Our driver was surly and unfriendly; he recited the itinerary and facts like a robot. At the conclusion, the van stopped in front of our hotel...and that was it! No "thank you" or "it was a pleasure." Just silence. Very expensive for little satisfaction.

Review by: Gnanasagren S P	June 2011
We were just taken for a drive - not too much of information was given to us

Review by: Damian	June 2011
Not the best way to see the night lit up in Paris, go for a walk or do the train to all the sights!

Review by: Hitoshi M	May 2011
I had booked this tour with the hotel pick-up service. Your office told me to go to the gathering point, since there was no such service. I phoned the tour office directly after booking. The bus came to the hotel to pick us up. Your office did not give me right and correct advice.

Review by: Harry C	May 2011
It's a joy ride but I didn't get to see the Defense portion of the town like it showed on the ad. Above all, it's worthed a tip.

Review by: Jack P	April 2011
The driver spent too much time waiting for a customer who was late to show up, and as a result, we missed a part of the light show at the Eiffel Tower. With that one exception, it was a good tour

Review by: Fiona C	January 2011
Really enjoyable tour of beautiful Paris. Found it was a great way to become oriented.

Review by: Scott M	December 2010
Solid introductory tour of Paris. We had a rainy night, so the windows were a bit wet. But this was beyond anyone's control. The audio occasionally got out of sync, but it tended to rectify itself. Support staff was helpful and professional.

Review by: Sandra T	October 2010
This tour is a great first or last night event - I take it on the last night as a happy reminder of all that I've seen in Paris.

Review by: Albert B	October 2010
hmmmm, This was definitely and by far the worst time spent in Paris. Our driver was an hour and a half late, he was not very knowledgeable about the sites we drove past, he drove fast, the car was cramped. And we actually hoped that the night would go by very quickly so we can go out on our own and enjoy the city.I would not reccomend this at all, very disappointed.

Review by: Imelda A	October 2010
Nice view of the city at night. Its not a guided tour. Driver missed a curve on turn with sudden break, almost fell off seat and jerked my neck.

Review by: Wendy H	September 2010
A lovely tour which initially caused a great deal of grief and running around simply because you have not changed the departure point on your website. The information we printed off was only 24 hours old but was incorrect because your tour office has moved. We only just caught the bus and there weren't any signs on the old office window.

Review by: Noelene G	September 2010
A bit disappointing, mainly because we had done the day tour. In retrospect I would not book both.

Review by: MICHAEL B	August 2010
Paris does change at night and this was a great way to see most of it in the one night we had. Our driverguide was very knowledgeable.

Review by: Margaret R	August 2010
Beautiful tour. You have to see Paris at night! Pre recorded tour in plain English.

Review by: Pamela M, Australia	July 2010
Actual tour was very information, it ran a bit out of sync, but not too bad. However, a notice of change of address of meeting point would have been appreciated prior to time of arrival. Failure to do this, by Viator, resulted in a mad dash to bus.

Review by: Jean W, United Kingdom	May 2010
Comfortable coach, some interesting information as we drove round.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	October 2009
This was the best way to become acquainted with Paris and it's most famous monuments.

Review by: G W, Ireland	August 2009
Good tour and commentary.

Review by: Christine M, United Kingdom	May 2009
Good view of a sparkling Eiffel Tower!

Review by: Benjamin K, United Kingdom	April 2009
It provided a good view of the city and all major landmarks, however, wasn't as long as stated and could have been better had they allowed you to briefly get off the coach at each monument as photos were hard to get through a coach window and whilst on the move.
