I would have liked to hear your comments better
- 1 year ago at the same period in December, we appreciated the availability of a travel blanket. This year : no blanket while it was very cold on December 10th, moreover we stayed about 10 good minutes in front of the restaurant.

Hello, Following your message, we have inquired and indeed this year there are no plaids available. Maybe for sanitary reasons. So you have to cover yourself well... However, there is always a free hot drink
- Disappointed with the service

Disappointed... the circuit was not respected....we passed in streets not illuminated....no ascent of the Champs Elysees....no plaid proposed as indicated on the site...the organization of the departure is to be revised

- Disappointing
Written by CARLA FICUCIELLO, on 28-12-2021
I was expecting a more festive your, especially because I had seen "gourmandises" when I booked. The welcome was nice but not festive, nor the atmosphere in the bus. I thought the bus had no roof, it was closed. We spent 1h30 in traffic jams. After 20mn our son already wanted to go back. There are in fact few points with illuminations compared to the time spent driving. I do not recommend this trip.
- Good Itinerary

Good itinerary but we were very cold

Not this year
- It is beautiful

The minus : The traffic jams, The plus : the ride up the Champs Elysee, The bus waiting for the Eiffel Tower to sparkle! The comfort of the bus and the polar blanket! I recommend this activity
- Beautiful discovery of the illuminations but incomplete service
Written by Karine, on 23-12-2021
The walk is very good to discover the illuminations of Paris with children. However, I was disappointed not to have the hot drink and the candy, as planned in the description, whereas we were on the spot at the indicated time, that is to say a half hour before the departure of the bus. It's a pity because this is what gave the little touch of Christmas for the children, they were also disappointed.
- Pleasant tour of Paris in comfort
Written by Philippe SERROT , on 19-12-2021
Paris illuminated with the main sites visited. Pleasant atmosphere and very good conditions of comfort for this one hour and a half tour. Welcoming and available staff.
- Nice
Written by Dorothee Mokoyoko, 16-12-2021
Nice walk but too much traffic jam and the bus is not in the open air. Passage too fast near the Lafayette galleries...
- Dazzling!
Written by Solene , on 16-12-2021
Superb walk in family, with 2 children. The circuit allows to discover all the great monuments of Paris illuminated. It is magnificent! Very easy to book, many choices of date. Very friendly driver, hot chocolate and plaid offered!
- Rather disappointed
Written by Myriam Vinet, on 15-12-2021
I would not recommend this experience to anyone, - I was placed to fill a free seat, and therefore separated from my children! - Placed at the front, the rain prevented me from seeing the view ... ice wipers would have been welcome ! no real illuminations, except the Effeil tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the place Vendôme ! To sum up: next time, we'll do it by foot and bus/metro.
- A Magical Walk, Christmas before Christmas

My mother was delighted
- Very good

We couldn't open the attachment to our reservation confirmation, so we showed up to board the bus without a ticket to scan. Despite this, we were very well received and enjoyed a perfect service. When you don't know Paris well (and it's raining) it's very practical, not too much waiting at the stops and easy to find buses. The tour of the illuminations was also very good. We recommend this activity. The staff is very friendly.
- Very pleasant visit of illuminated Paris

Comfortable bus, stops at strategic places, very good route. Activity to do for all
- Top but...
Written by Ciceou, on 02-12-2021
It was magical but the comments for children were not adapted. We talk about the Marais when we don't go there.... The kids were waiting for their chocolate lollipops...nothing....
