Paris à la Carte

The sound (in the headphones) was very poor, on some buses, and in others didn't even worked! You advertise that one of the languages available is Portuguese but, in fact, what you offer is a very bad brazillian - which, as you may know, is a language other than portuguese.
Overall, the service runs fine: the cars are comfortable and routes very interesting; for better, you have to enhance the experience giving customers good comments with better sound quality.

very satisfied

In our opinion, it`s the best way to discover Paris.

I am very pleased

good

It was well organized. I can recommend it.

I have been in Paris four times and each time we have purchased the Paris a la Carte tickets. Your system is wonderful and I have nothing to suggest you change to make it better...unless you made it cheaper.

Very satisfied, this is a great way to know the inner parts of the city as well as the famous tourist spots. The headsets help a lot in learning about the history of the city.

the tour was great! covered all the spots we wanted to see. The buses were clean and well operated and we were never waiting very long for a bus. the stops were also marked well and easy to find. The tour help make my trip to Paris a wonderful experience.

there was four of us in our party and we would recommend your service as we really had a great time

We used the tour bus for most of our transportation around Paris along with the Metro. Excellent commentary although on some buses it was not working properly.

The tour and its concept was very handy. Paris being a big city is a maze to discover by one's own. This tour option was a great way to discover everything Paris has to offer without really having to go in circles. I feel I know Paris better than those who went there for much longer time periods.

We were very satisfied with frequency and efficiency of the tours.

Buses ran to schedule and stopped near places we wanted to visit. We used the Bateau Bus as much as we could and found it also ran to schedule and we enjoyed the more relaxing way of seeing sites on the Seine.

We had a great time though it rained daily. Bus was regular, punctual and clean.

We had a great time, And enough time to take most of the lines, I wish we would have had more time on the BatoBus but I was great. Will do it again when we can.

There was so much traffic and due to bad weather we used more metro than the city bus.

the hop on hop off bus is the best. we have used it all over the world and was just as great here in paris. this is the best one with the best routes for sure.!! good deal.

A great way to get the lay of the land. Most of the stops were easy to find. The bus audio was bad on some busses (seats). I would buy the boat pass separately and for other days were I to do it again, as it's a lot to see in a short time. We ended up not getting to many stops.

good service exept when one driver did not speak english and sent oss to the wrong direction when we asked about the boat

The wife and I both enjoyed your service. It was easy to transfer from one route to another including Batobus.
We believe we saw the most important sights of Paris whioch would have been more difficult if we had not used your buses. The commentry was also very helpful. I would recommend the service to other visiotrs to Paris.

This was my 5th trip to Paris & the first time using the hop-on/hop-off bus. It was a great way to take one of the routes and after seeing all of the stops, decide which/where you wanted to get off and visit. It was just as easy to catch the bus to the next stop. The Batobus addition, we also selected, was a beautiful way to see the wonderful bridges of Paris from a different perspective and especially since the weather was wonderful.........we enjoyed both the bus (upper level was open air), and batobus.
I would recommend using your service to both young and old. I will definitely use you again on my next trip
back to Paris.
Thank you,

THE BUSES WERE SO CROWDED, WE COULDN'T GET ON THE FIRST ONE-AND THEN WE HAD TO STAND UP THE ENTIRE TIME. OTHERWISE, THE ROUTE WAS FINE, DRIVERS WERE NICE.

If you are coming from a different time zone, do not do this on your first day. The bus became our bed and we slept through a lot of the information. Otherwise it would have been a great way to get around with good info about the city!

the tour was very good value the only disapointing part was the monmartre section but overall it was excellent

The bus was good but it was hard to find the stop near Gare de Nord. The girl at the tourist office at Gare de Nord was totally useless in giving advice on where to find the stop there to get the bus. But then we realised that the French are pretty rude to tourists which is a pity as Paris is such a beautiful city. The river cruise was also good but again the signage and directions are hard to find. You need a better map with clearer instructions on where stops are, especially which side of the river the stop near the Louvre is. I now agree with a friend who told me that Paris was the world's most beautiful city, but if the French all left it and Italians took their place it would be even better. Having been to Rome on this trip, I now agree with that. But the people on the bus and the boat. once we found the stops, were very good.

hi we had a brilliant time in paris and your bus and boat service enhanced our vist this is the second year we have been to paris and used your services , may we thank your drivers and all your staff who were very freindly and helpful and hopefully will be coming back next year one thing you could do is offer a discount for travellers who book again with you like a loyalty bonus
best regards

My wife and I found our experience with Cityrama very good. She has difficulty walking and she appreciated being able to 'hop on - hop off' to spend time looking at various sites. Thank you very much for making our Paris holiday enjoyable.

An excellent way to see & get around Paris. Highly recommended

A great way to see the city. Thanks

We really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it.

Order and payment on the internet - ok.
Voucher via e-mail - ok.
The only small problem was, that my e-mail software (pine) does not show images, and I could print the voucher only without images. This way my voucher was a bit strange for the office personnel, and the Hop-on Hop-off bus driver, but both of them was very kind and helpful. Finally they managed to identify my order.

(This was the second time when I booked tour at Paris Cityrama.
The first occasion was in may 2005, when we had a Paris Seinorama program. )

only had 2 days in paris so wanted to see as much as we could
Paris a la carte was great their were plenty of buses we saw most of the sights and when we were tired could take advantage of just sitting on the loop of choice combining the bus with boat was excellent value would highly reccomend

One of the drivers were a rude person

The buses ran in a timely manner and the stops were very convenient. In addition, the boats added a dimension of convenience to that already supplied by the buses.

The network of bus routes is excellent and, taken together with the opportunity to also use Batobus, it offers extremely good value.
Our major problem was that, although the Paris a la Carte includes both the buses and the Batobus, we could not utilize our voucher at Batobus, after a long trek across Paris to do so, but had to go find a bus to do so. There were 2 women at the Batobus stop at Musee d'Orsay, one of whom was abrupt and unhelpful, whereas the 2nd at least tried to explain the reasons for the inconvenience.
At the nearby Quai d'Orsay bus stop, there was a dapper black man who was running the bus (the first one that morning of the 28th?) who was very helpful. In fact, all of the bus drivers were courteous and helpful.

Unfortunately we had problems with a bus driver at the point opposite the Louvre museum (place du Carrousel): we have explained in English that we needed to exchange our voucher for tickets - as you described: "Exchange voucher at the 'La Boutique Opentour' at 13 rue Auber 75009 Paris, or on the buses." The driver said he was unaware that form (voucher) and to justify his ignorance he was stupid to the point of shouting in French that he did not care about our needs and could not give tickets to take the Batobus up the Eiffel Tower.

Bom atendimento em todos os sentidos.

Everything was very good. We used the Paris a la Cart on all 4 routes and batobus within 3 days. It's very convenient that you can buy a card online at the website, print out your reservation and get tickets on the bus at any stop.

Muito bom!!!

It was a great trip.

whas perfect trip...:))

The Cityrama Paris a la carte was very convenient and economical, which is a great way to see all of Paris sections with an oppportunity to hop off and hop on at the stops of our choice.
It would be better to have a live tour guide instead of the recordings as the Operator (Driver) does not always start the recordings at the right time and it gives you incorrect information on the buildings that you pass, which is confusing if you do not know your buildings or areas.
We were at one stop for a great length of time and listened to the same french song over and over until we simply removed our headsets.
The three day pass is the best value as it offered the Batobus as well. You would not be able to enjoy the whole four sections with only a one day pass. As well, if there is an event with street closures, the three day pass is guaranteed to offer an extension, whereas one or two day pass does not include this. We had the chance to see a great deal of Paris and all surrounding areas with our three day pass with the Batobus included, we used both modes of transportation to get from one end to the other enjoying many sites and buildings.
We stayed in Montemarte and had intended on using this tour bus as our main source of transportation, but as we realized it was easier to use it for the tour only. The Metro was easier and faster to enable us to see more and get more in during the day as the bus is extremely slow with stops and wait times.

very nice

Thank you for a wonderful experience. Special thanks to our wonderful tour leaders for taking good care of us and giving excellent instructions I would do it all over again - an experience to remember.

good experience!

This is a great option to purchase. It offers a lot and at your discretion of time. I wish all tours could have vouchers printed on line or tickets.

It was great getting on and off at the various sights! The only thing I would change is making the schedule more available, like know when the boat starts in the morning and where, etc.

Very informative, comfortable routes. Nice experience.

This is the way to see Paris. We bought the 3 day pass, which included the batoboats. Unlike using the Metro, the busses stop right in front of the attraction, and you do not have to walk far or take endless flights of stairs. You could ride each bus around several times, and still see something different that you missed the first time. Very satisfied.

We didn´t know that you stopped the timetable at many of the busstops more than one hour before closing-time. This information is not clear and detailed in your brochure. There were several tourist with tickets standing at a bus-stop close to your office 1 hour and 15 minutes before closing-time. We were vaiting a long time and no bus arrived. This is not good service!

The boat seems a bit too crowded and had to wait for 2 boats to get on

Extremely long waiting times!
