And apparently WWII didn't come anywhere near Paris. In addition to seeing the sights I was interested in hearing about some of the modern history attached to this beautiful city.. The only thing they mentioned after 1920 was the student uprising in the 1960's. We purchased our tickets at 2pm boarded a bus. we got off at the Arc de... more

The Open Bus Tours advertises its services through Paris Visité card, in which the company states that you are entitled to 4 EUR discount if you show your Paris Visité Card.

We bought a two-day pass since is was a better... more

Multiple lines make up this tour bus system, but only the Green and Yellow will matter. Avoid the blue line at all cost. This is a great way to see the hot spots in Paris in a short amount of time. Just make sure you can get on the top to see the sites. Many of the audio ports did... more

My young family and I (five of us) had a two-day pass for L'OpenTour bus tour as part of the package from the travel agent for our trip to Paris. Looking on the Internet for information, I found all the negative reviews on TripAdvisor and was honestly expecting the worst. Well, I have to say, the whole experience was *fine*.... more
