About this tour

See Paris from the streets and the Seine with a flexible sightseeing experience that pairs an open-top bus tour with a river cruise. The Paris hop-on hop-off bus tour stops near celebrated sights including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Arc de Triomphe, so you can get off to explore and board again when you’re ready. Audio commentary shares stories about the city’s architecture and culture as you take in panoramic views from the bus.

Your ticket also includes a 1-hour cruise with Bateaux Parisiens. From the water, spot landmarks such as Notre Dame Cathedral and the Musée d’Orsay, and pass beneath Paris’s graceful bridges. Choose a 24- or 48-hour bus pass to shape your own route and explore at a pace that suits you. The Paris hop-on hop-off bus tour and Seine cruise offer two distinct perspectives on the city, with app-based ticket access and live bus tracking for added convenience.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.38 from 91 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 4.3.
