Les Cars Rouges Bus Tours

Les Cars Rouges is a hop-on, hop-off Paris bus tour that services nine important attractions, providing audio commentary and good views of the city thanks to an open deck. The full tour (not including stops) lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes, and covers the following sights:

Buying tickets: Tickets, good for two full days starting from the day of purchase, can be bought upon boarding the bus or purchased online. For information on boarding sites and current fares, consult the company website.

Languages available for audio commentary: French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Chinese

Bottom line: A great tour for discovering Paris' most famous attractions, although certain essential spots like Montmartre and the Latin Quarter are neglected on the tour route. Good for a first trip or weekend tour.
