Big Bus Paris: Hop-on Hop-off Tour

Additional Information & Description

Big Bus Paris: Hop-on Hop-off Tour combines open-top views from a double-decker bus with the freedom to explore at your own pace. Stay aboard to watch the city unfold, or step off when you want a closer look. The hop-on hop-off format lets you shape your sightseeing around the places that interest you rather than follow a fixed sequence of visits.

A route through Paris’s major sights

The Red Route takes you to major Paris attractions, including the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre. Numerous stops near popular sites make the bus a link between sightseeing on board and exploring on foot. You can leave the route to spend time at a landmark, then continue by bus. Along the way, the journey brings Paris’s riverside and busy streets into view, making the travel between stops part of the visit.

Choose 24 or 48 hours of bus access

Your ticket includes access to Big Bus services on the Red Route for either 24 or 48 hours, depending on the option selected. That choice determines how much time you have to use the hop-on hop-off service: a shorter window for concentrating your sightseeing, or a longer one for spreading it out. The tour duration is 2 hours and 15 minutes; time spent exploring away from the bus is separate from the ride.

Listen to the stories behind the sights

An onboard audioguide explains Paris’s history and attractions as you travel. Commentary is available in eight languages: Mandarin Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish. Free headphones are included, so you can listen to the commentary while taking in the streets and monuments from your seat.

Onboard extras and arrival details

Free WiFi is included, and a free poncho is provided in case of rain. The starting point is 11 Avenue de l’Opéra. Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone, so a printed ticket is not required.
