I can only give 4 stars

I must first start by complimenting Viator communication for this trip. They also got my entire group of 21 on the same bus. I would give 5 stars, but the seats were very uncomfortable for six hours total on a bus. Also the bus was hot. They surprised us with a snack and water. That was very nice. Also the stops going and coming for a restroom break were good.

Operator response

Hello Stephanie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to clarify that the service was operated by your local tour provider, Vexperio, while Viator is only the booking platform. Our team was the one communicating with you regarding the tour arrangements. Regarding the bus conditions, we use air-conditioned buses for this service. Please note that the experience includes approximately a 3-hour ride from the port to Paris, time for the tour, and then approximately a 3-hour return journey back to the port, so we understand that the total time on the bus can feel lengthy. If at any point during the journey the temperature on the bus is not comfortable, we kindly ask guests to inform the guide or driver immediately so we can address the issue. We are always happy to assist and make adjustments during the tour whenever possible. We appreciate your feedback regarding comfort and will share it with our transportation team as we continue working to improve our guests’ experience. Thank you again for choosing our service. Natalia Vexperio

Great option for Exploring Paris on Your Own

This was a great option for anyone looking to explore Paris on their own. We had time to explore around the Eiffel Tower, eat lunch, see Notre-dame Cathedral (outside), do some shopping and see the arc de triomphe before reboarding. The bus was comfortable and staff were super friendly. It was a very smooth ride.

Paris in a “minute”

Get ready to walk your butt off. This is a great way to get a taste of Paris. You don’t get a lot of time to do everything you want but you do get to see the biggest attractions if you hurry or take cabs around town.
