An ok experience
Feb 2023 • Solo
Interesting and very beautiful to see Paris at night, but this tour is an hour too long, best to keep it at an hour max, especially as there is very limited audio commentary that is mostly the same as the day tours when it crosses the same area.

As I said first half is kind of interesting but then it gets pretty boring quick, at least update the audio

I only booked my ticket the same day but must get there early (at least 15min or even 30min before) to get a seat on top deck. Booking and logistics were fine, no issues.

Nice,not amazing and ask for headphones!

We enjoyed the tour but unfortunately we're not given headphones by the driver. It was a little chaotic getting on the bus. I would recommend getting to the bus stop,very near the L'arc de Triomphe,at least 15 minutes before your departure. Wear warm clothes as it can be breezy but it does stop at the main attractions so to give time to take photos. A little overpriced for what it is.

Okay but could be better
Oct 2022 • Solo
The tour itself takes I all of the sights with great views. However, the tour I was on only had the audio in French. I tried changing the channels but there was only music. It’s still lovely to see everything by night, but the information would have been good. There does need to be much more organization before boarding as it was a free for all with pushing and shoving. I know that isn’t the tour operator but the tourists themselves, but having actual marked lanes like at the museums would go a great way to stopping that. Although the ticket checker did his best to get people to stop pushing it was a lost cause as there was no information given about whether more buses were coming.

Rude driver. Night bus tour was a fail
Aug 2022 • Family
We booked our seats on the Paris Big Bus night tour for last Friday. We came on time but ended up finding no seats for us (4people). The driver rudely and loudly told us to go downstairs because there's no other bus coming and that we should just sit at the lower deck. He shouted at us in front of all the other passengers in the upper deck. We found this weird because the first night bus that left minutes ago before ours, had no passengers at the lower deck. Also, we booked seats and yet people without tickets got on the bus and sat on the upper deck (we know they didn't have tickets because they asked us how to book and they were behind us in the queue). Also, the bus driver stopped near the louvre to let a woman withdraw money from the ATM. She gave the driver some money and said in French, "You must accept this", which was quite suspicious. Very disappointing. Terrible service.

Frustrating, especially for parents
Jan 2023 • Family
We arrived 10 mins before the time we were told to arrive (which was 15 mins before departure) and the line was massive and chaotic. The employees were not being friendly to people concerned about being able to sit with their family members. Also, they charge children full price but the ear buds are adult sized. My 6 year old was not able to listen to the guided tour at all. Lastly, while the info is interesting, much of the 2 hour ride was listening to the same 4 songs on repeat. It was really annoying. I would not recommend this at all for these reasons.

Bus didn’t arrive
Booked the Big Bus Paris night tour for Monday 8th August and was advised that it would depart from 156 Av. des Champs-Élysées at 20:15.
We arrived at the pick up point at 20:00, in good time for the bus to depart at 20:15.
By 20:40 the bus still haven’t arrived and we (along with many others) were stood at the pick up point and given no information about whether the bus was just running late or the tour had been cancelled altogether.
At this point we assumed that the tour had been cancelled and left so that we could enjoy what was left of our evening in Paris.

Wordt experience ever while traveling! Cheating on customers
We can only advice you to never book this tour! They sell to many tickets over places. Don’t inform you might have a seat in the bottom or even no seat! People were told to come back next day as they didn’t have enough busses! No refund was possible and they were hiding behind the fact being only a driver and not able to take responsibility. They were really rude and left the equivalent of a bus of people just along the street. This company is really a very incorrect company! Also by phone they were not reachable for comment or help

Confusing information poor customer service. Do not use this bus company!
We were excited to see the City of Lights at night but were sorely disappointed with the service and pre-trip information provided by this company. We signed up for the night bus in Paris, but the email confirmation/tickets did not mention that you could only board from one specific stop. We finally contacted customer service to follow up to see where the bus was and it was then that they mentioned that there was only one stop to board at. They would not give us a refund, despite the fact that we could no longer board. It was very frustrating. We took 2 cabs to try to reach the one stop and never made it! This tour is billed as a hop on hop off but only leaves from the Champs Élysées.

Don’t waste your money!
Jun 2022 • Family
The boarding process was unorganized and downright dangerous. When the bus arrived people mobbed it. Elderly were knocked down and children squished and separated from their parents. Then the actual tour was terrible, we were stuck in the bottom with no air and only a few windows opened. We could not see any of the sights because the driver would not turn off the interior lights so we only got reflections and same with trying to take pictures. The audio guide did not work and the few times it did it was not for the correct area. The driver drove in circles and kept stopping to talk to taxi drivers and other bus drivers. This was a great disappointment and I would not recommend for other travelers.

Don’t use this vendor.
May 2023
I would rate this less than 1 star. Bought tickets for 9:15pm ride and was unable to get on the bus - along with another 30-50+ ticket holders. Really need a refund for my family of four!! Do NOT use this vendor - they over sell and leave you standing there with no recourse.
