Paris bus tours are a popular way for visitors to see the major sights in Paris. Like their river counterparts the bateaux mouches, Paris bus tours take a fixed route through the city and have an open top to facilitate seeing all that Paris has to offer.
Paris bus tours are run by L’Open Tour and operate on a hop on, hop off basis. There are four different bus routes you can take through Paris, all of which last for different amounts of time and visit different attractions. You can change from one bus tour route to another at any of the connection points. Buses run every 10-30 minutes every day of the year.
You can buy your Paris bus tour tickets on the bus.
