Me ha gustado mucho, porque das un vistazo general sobre Paris y te explican toda la historia de la ciudad y luego puedes ir profundizando en los lugares que tienes que visitar. Al ir en semana santa habia mucha gente y nos toco abajo, pero unas paradas despues se bajo gente y ya pudimos disfrutarlo desde la parte de arriba Translate this opinion into English.

I really liked it because it gives you an overview of Paris and explains the city's history, and then you can delve deeper into the places you should visit. Since we went during Holy Week, there were a lot of people, so we had to get off at the bottom, but a few stops later, people got off, and we were able to enjoy it from the top. Opinion translated.

Esperienza ricca di informazioni con tante cose da vedere lungo la città. Il tempo bello ha reso gradevole anche il bus aperto. Unica cosa, non era ben segnalata la fermata perché la zona del Louvre è molto grande, quindi non riuscivamo a trovare il punto della fermata.

Todo perfecto, salimos desde la primera parada en el punto d información donde te dan los tickets y ya luego a disfrutar!! Dejamos el carro estacionado en la parte baja y subimos a la parte superior y fue una super experiencia! Con los cascos genial buscas tu idioma y bastante divertido quienes te cuentan.. pasan cada 10 minutos así q muy bien.. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was perfect. We left from the first stop at the information point where they give you the tickets, and then we enjoyed ourselves! We left the car parked at the bottom of the road and went up to the top. It was a great experience! With the headphones on, it's great to find your language, and the people who tell you the story are quite fun. They come by every 10 minutes, so it was great. Opinion translated. Show original.

excelente para recorrer la ciudad, la frecuencia de los buses era buena. La audio guía era muy buena pero en el ultimo bus al que subí no funcionaba. El mapa tenia los puntos turísticos mas importantes y te indicaba que otros lugares de interés podías visitar cerca de ellos. Los choferes era muy amables. En total viajamos en 4 buses distintos durante el día Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent for getting around the city, the frequency of the buses was good. The audio guide was very good but on the last bus I got on it didn't work. The map had the most important tourist spots and indicated what other places of interest you could visit near them. The drivers were very friendly. In total we traveled on 4 different buses during the day. Opinion translated. Show original.

Las paradas estaban colocadas estrategicamente, lo que nos vino muy bien. El problema era que venian muy llenos, aunque eso no era culpa del autobus, sino del exceso de turistas en Paris en el Puente. En resumen buen servicio. Translate this opinion into English.

The stops were strategically placed, which was very convenient for us. The problem was that they were very crowded, although that wasn't the bus's fault, but rather the excess of tourists in Paris on the Grand Canal. In short, good service. Opinion translated. Show original.
