Tootbus: Paris Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour with Optional Seine River Cruise

Discover Paris at your own pace with a flexible hop-on hop-off bus tour, gliding past iconic landmarks while soaking in the city’s charm. Add an optional Seine River cruise for a magical perspective of the "City of Light," complete with live commentary and five free self-guided walking tours to explore hidden gems. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this experience lets you uncover Paris’ stories, flavors, and rhythms—one stop at a time.

Tour Overview

Picture this: You’re perched on the open-top deck of a vibrant bus, the Parisian breeze in your hair as you pass the grand Arc de Triomphe and the twinkling Eiffel Tower. No rush, no crowds—just the freedom to hop off whenever something catches your eye, from a cozy café in Montmartre to the artistic soul of the Louvre. With engaging audio commentary (available in 10 languages), you’ll hear tales of revolution, romance, and artistry that bring the city to life. Add a sunset cruise on the Seine, and suddenly, Paris isn’t just a postcard—it’s your personal story.

Revealing Eiffel Tower

Nothing prepares you for the first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower—its iron lacework glowing against the sky, as if Paris itself is winking at you. Step off the bus at Tour Eiffel stop, and let the tower’s grandeur pull you in: the way it sparkles on the hour after dark, the hush of the Champ de Mars at dawn, or the joy of picnicking in its shadow like a true local. Up close, you’ll notice the tiny details—engraved names of scientists, the sway of the structure in the wind—and realize why this monument feels less like steel and more like magic.
Pro tip: Visit at dusk to watch the tower light up, then stroll to Trocadéro for the best panoramic views.

Memorable Moments

• The golden hour on the Seine cruise, when the water turns to liquid amber and Notre-Dame’s silhouette feels like a whisper from the past.
• Sharing laughs with a street artist in Montmartre, their brushstrokes bringing your portrait—and Parisian memories—to life.
• Biting into a warm crêpe nutella by the bus stop, powdered sugar dusting your fingers as the city hums around you.
• The quiet thrill of standing where Hemingway once sipped coffee, or Marie Antoinette strolled, history pressing gently against the present.

Paris isn’t just a destination—it’s a feeling. And with Tootbus, you’re not just seeing the city; you’re living it. So grab your ticket, leave the map behind (just a little!), and let Paris surprise you at every turn. Your seat on the bus—and your next adventure—awaits!

What's Included

Your journey is thoughtfully crafted to immerse you in the heart of the destination—where every detail is designed to delight, inspire, and leave you with stories to share for years to come. From the moment you arrive until your reluctant farewell, we’ve woven together comfort, authenticity, and little surprises to make your adventure unforgettable.

• Seamless private transfers—because the first and last impressions matter. Step off your flight or train into the waiting arms of a friendly local driver, ready to whisk you away in comfort. No crowded shuttles, no confusing schedules—just a smooth start (and end) to your escape.
• Handpicked accommodations that feel like a home away from home. Whether it’s a boutique riad with a hidden courtyard, a lakeside lodge where the fire crackles as you arrive, or a family-run agriturismo with views that steal your breath, each stay is chosen for its charm, character, and warm hospitality.
• Meals that tell a story. Savor breakfasts of just-baked bread and honey from nearby hives, lunches at sun-drenched vineyards where the wine flows as freely as the laughter, and dinners under the stars prepared by chefs who cook with generations of tradition—and a sprinkle of modern magic. (Dietary wishes? We’ve listened.)
• A dedicated local guide who’s more than a fountain of knowledge—they’re your cultural bridge, your secret-door opener, and sometimes, your new friend. They’ll share the legends behind the landmarks, introduce you to their favorite hidden cafés, and adjust the pace to match your curiosity.
• Exclusive cultural encounters that go beyond the guidebooks. Try your hand at pottery with a master artisan in their dusty workshop, learn the rhythms of traditional dance from villagers who’ve danced them since childhood, or sit with a storyteller as they weave tales of the land over steaming cups of spiced tea.
• Off-the-beaten-path adventures tailored to your spirit. Hike to a sunset viewpoint known only to shepherds, glide through misty canals at dawn before the crowds arrive, or stroll through markets with a chef to pick ingredients for your cooking class. These are the moments that turn a trip into your trip.
• Thoughtful touches to make you smile—a handwritten note with your morning coffee, a picnic basket packed with local delicacies for a spontaneous lakeside lunch, or a traditional blessing from a monk in a hilltop monastery. Small gestures, big heart.
• Peace of mind, always. From 24/7 support during your travels to carefully vetted experiences that prioritize safety and sustainability, we’ve handled the details so you can focus on what matters: the thrill of discovery, the joy of connection, and the quiet wonder of being right here, right now.
