My husband enjoyed this trip immensely. We saw the fights of Paris and was very excited about it all. The train ride was awesome, and the hop on hop off bus was convenient. We look forward to going back.
The big bus does not pick you up at Garde du Nord. You have to find it. I ran after one of the buses as it left the depot and the driver kindly let us on. To get back to the Train station was a 30 minute walk from the closest drop point.
The super easy and fun experience , day to Paris was great , Big Bus was very informative and punctual.

My primary compliant is with the train schedule.. To maximize your enjoyment in Paris more time is needed. My schedule departure was for 7.00 AM, I was in the train station at 5.00 Am. I was told ito switch my 7.00 AM train to a 6.00 AM Train was not possible. That extra 1-hour could of help us with additional activities i wanted to do. Other than this one inconvenience, I have no complaints. .

First time going to Paris and booking through Viator. Tickets, info and pass for Big Bus tour were e-mailed in good time. Instructions were clear and well presented. Really good trip for a day, and easy to get to big Bus stop via metro. This doesn't give you a metro card for underground so make sure you look on utube for Les Frenchies to see which underground ticket you may need.
