Excellent! Make sure your camera takes descent pictures/video at night. Sept 24,2022 experience : Bring a warm hat and jacket and you’ll be all set. Wonderful views of the Eiffel Tower. They stop for you to take pictures when it flashes at the top of the hour. The bus goes very fast. If you like roller coasters you’ll be in heaven! :)

This tour was a wonderful way to become acclimated to the city and where several popular attractions are. The top of the bus was clean and includes a port for headphones to listen to audio as the bus navigated the route. Wonderful seeing Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Moulin Rouge, Notre Dame, Arc de Triumph, and other areas within the city lit up at night from the vantage point on the top of the bus.

Seeing Paris at night is simply Magical! The bus departed at 21:15 - this was great as I could explore Paris by train/walking during the day and just relax on top of a bus at night while seeing the most beautiful sights! If you’re looking for a quick 2hr “Paris by night” outing this is perfect!
