Great introduction to Paris - Loved how convenient the bus was and how often the buses came. The app made it really easy to navigate

Great Guide! - The beginning at martinmorte was great, our guide was very knowledgeable and super friendly. Make sure you bring sneakers you’ll be walking a lot, but Tina will give you the option to take the train.

An excellent way to see the highlights of Paris. - An excellent way to see the highlights of Paris. You cross the Seine several times and literally get to see everything, the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Montmartre, Champs Elysees. Also as you can hop-on and off, you get to choose where you want to spend your time. The buses run very frequently so no long waits at the bus stops. Would highly recommend.

Good - We always get a hop on hop off bus on our first day of touring any city to get the lay of the land. This bus was great but neglected to tell us the pickup spot had moved around the corner and we waited for over an hour in the wrong spot. Besides that, the bus tour was informative and we enjoyed it once we got on.

Don’t waste your money!!!! - Not worth the money!!! The audio was very poor and hard to understand and way too much music and very little historic info. Waited at one stop for 40 minutes with no bus. Walked to another stop and driver there said our previous stop was closed but there was NO mention of that at the stop. Won’t waste our money on TOOTBUS again and will go with a more professional hop off hop on like Big Bus.

Toot Bus Paris - Why? - I can't begin to tell you how disappointing the service was . The fundamentals were completely wrong. For example the map supplied was "Bad and wrong" These are the words of the staff btw, not me. I was totally confused and lost most of the time. The route "no longer" covered Sacre Cour, was not close to the Eiffel Tower. We got the Seine Cruise package and if we did not have GPS on the phone you have no hope of getting there. Their directions were, and I'm not kidding "follow the crowd". There are many, many crowds all going to different places, unreal.

Really poor audio - don’t expect to learn anything! - We had accepted the limited route due to the Olympics and were expecting a reduced service but we were not expecting such poor commentary which wasn’t based around interesting facts of Paris or even the buildings we we passing. The commentary was personal opinions of areas of Paris which were quite frankly at times inappropriate! That was when there was actually speaking as most of the time it was a random loop of music.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Today my wife and I, together with another couple, booked on a hop on/hop off toot bus. We thought we had booked the Big Bus Tour as that was what we requested. However Patricia on the Champs Elysses was clearly on more commission with Toot. We only discovered the error when trying to board the Big Bus. When we finally found the boarding point, we were told the next one would be there in 15 minutes. We had been told they run every 10 minutes. After 20 we boarded. We wanted the tour to orientate our party and learn something of the history of Paris. The audio we got was periodic Olympic facts interspersed with Shakira on a loop. Nothing about the city or key landmarks. Halfway round the driver stopped for what seemed like his lunch hour. We challenged why we had been stationary for 25 minutes to be greeted with a Gallic shrug whilst he drew on his Gitane and continued munching on his baguette. For 180€ we felt scammed. Never again.

Don't waste your money on Toot Bus tours! - Very disappointed in the Toot Bus tour. Minimal amount of narration - - mainly just some music playing on the headsets. Limited routes compared to the Big Bus tour that we took the next day, since we didn't feel like we had a good tour on Toot Bus. Don't waste your time & money on Toot Bus - - go on a Big Bus tour instead!

Toot bus ESTAFADORES - I do not advise anyone to hire any services with this tourist company of FRAUDSTERS. I paid in advance for a bus service that was never provided with the excuse of the Olympic games, and they refuse to return my money. I have denounced them to European consumers. If you read the comments before Tootbus they are all bad and lousy. Good ones must be written by the fraudster company itself. I am Spanish and have lived in many countries and never had any problems as I have with the fraudster company TootBus
