I was a little skeptical going into the Bustronome experience. I expected a slightly cheesy tourist experience and certainly didn't think the food was going to be great. I was totally wrong. The bus provides a great view of the city at night and the food was outstanding-easily one of the best two or three meals I had while in Paris. It was a unique tour and a great way to see Paris at night. I did the meal with the wine pairing for an extra 30 euros; you get a glass of champagne, a glass each of red and white wine, and coffee or tea. I don't think the wine was worth it. I would have rather ordered drinks a la carte.

Bustronome offers a comfortable air condition bus with a bathroom, private chef, free WIFI that serves a four-course meal lunch or dinner. On my trip we had Lunch first course fish with seviche, second course another fish with peas and third course Beef with carrots and potatoes, and of course dessert. meal was my choice menu is available on the web site so you can make choice when you book your travel. Water is complimentary but there is a charge for cocktails and there is also a route guide. During our trip, the bus drove by many Paris attractions, but we were not allowed off the bus. The staff was very professional some speak English the trip last about one hour and well worth it. My understanding is that this service is only available in Paris and London. Coming to New York soon.

Truly the best way to experience Paris! We got to see all the amazing monuments fully supported with an audio guide so we can learn all the history. On top of that, the food was incredible!
Even though I’ve visited Paris a few times before, I’ve never ever seen everything like this in one go. We also stopped at the Eiffel Tower and saw it light up on time!
I highly recommend Bustronome to everyone who visits Paris (& their other locations like London if you get the chance!) You won’t regret it :)

Good concept but food and wine poor quality and tasteless. Portion sizes small and unpleasant wine. Food was bland.I would recommend purchasing wine separately from the fixed menu.
Good way to experience the sites of Paris but over priced for the quality of the food and wine.

We have a lovely night on the Bustronome bus! All the dishes were interesting and I had shared that I don’t like nuts and the chef kindly altered my dish! I appreciated that they had acknowledged my note and checked too.
It was all very well organised so we were ready for our wine that we ordered in advance and everything was well spaced out. It was nice to see Paris at night and even some areas we hadn’t gone past yet.
The panoramic view through the windows and roof is also great - it was funny with people on the streets walking past confused!
But overall it was worth what we paid and service was 10/10.
I’ve only given it 4 stars because one of the default courses was cheese - which it’s my own fault for being fussy again with but sometimes places may offer you cheese or something else - so it would have been good to have a different option. It was all ok though as I got a taste of the chutney with the bread instead whilst my partner ate my cheese!

We've been to Paris dozens of times, seen all the sights. This was a really unique way to enjoy an evening of "Paris-by-Night!". The food is quite good, especially considering the restricted area for the cooks to work. Six small, delightful courses, and all the while being driven all around Paris. We never got the Audio Gadget to work ... but we didn't care...we knew what we were seeing, and just enjoyed the leisurely drive all over the center of Paris. Of course, it culminates with a closeup of the Eiffel Tower, all lit up at night. We were very impressed by the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. All in all, a really unique and delightful was to see Paris during the evening hours.

Did the Bustronome London dinner with my husband and 2 kids (age 6 and 8) last week while we were visiting London and had a great time. It was a great way to see a lot of London easily for the kids while having a fun and delicious dinner/wine. Jackson our server was so nice and played the best music toward the end of the tour. It was informative, delicious and a party all in one. We all had a great time.

Bustronome Paris was a FANTASTIC way to see Paris in the evening. My parents can’t stop talking about this tour. By far, one of our favorite tours while in Paris. Yes, you should book this tour! It’s worth every penny.

We have dined on the Bustronome Paris before and it was simply fabulous.
Unfortunately our dining experience in December was terrible.
When I booked I told them that we didn’t eat fish or lamb , that any other meat was fine, as before they said it was not problem.
The day of our dining experience the starter was scallops. When I told them that we weren’t supposed to have any fish and they had been notified prior to our arrival. We were told there was no substitute so we tried them and couldn’t eat them. They were poorly cooked and as stated when we made our reservation we don’t eat fish.
Our main course was a total disappointment. A poached egg in a sauce does not constitute a main course.
When we booked we told them beef, veal, chicken was fine just no fish.
On the bus they kept telling us we were vegetarians which we are not.
Such a shame and such a disappointment.

Bustronome is an excellent alternative to boat tour. Menu is 85€ for adults (2 glasses of good wine, water and coffee included), and 40€ for kids (exactly the same as adult portions). Food is very good (not a tourist trap at all ;-). Bus is very comfortable, music very cool and journey very nice (Arc de triomphe, Opera Garnier, Invalides, Eiffel Tower, Hotel de ville, Champs Elysées). Very good value !

Hi, Looking to book a tour and wondering what food choices are offered on the children's menu, thank you.

I didn't see any children on this tour. We were very unhappy with the Bustronome and fount it was not worth the money. The tour was self-guided with an electronic pen that you had to touch on the language and then the icon for what you were looking at, then had to put the pen up to your ear to listen. Try doing that while viewing, eating and attempting to take photos that reflected in the bus glass.

May I pay my add on drinks using Euros vs a Credit card? I booked online already and chose no wine pairings as my husband and I don’t drink. However, should we chose to purchase water or maybe a soda on board, may we pay in Euros? We’ve already converted much of our money to Euros for spending. Please advise.

Thanks for your message. Yes of course you can email the team. In any case it is possible to buy drinks on board (soft or wines/Champagne). It is possible to pay with credit card (VISA, Mastercard, AMEX) or by cash.
Glad to welcome you on board

We will be in Paris in October. Because of some health problems I would rather book just a day or 2 ahead. Will this be a problem?

It’s easy to book online, so you could look a few days beforehand. The only risk is that they might be full.

Hi Paul,
You can buy the wine pairing directly on the website of the Bustronome. You can add it as well directly on board.
