Anyone know anything about the tour operators who offer Hop On Hop Off tours in Paris? Which is the best? How do I secure tickets? Things to avoid???

Thanks!

We%26#39;ve only taken the L%26#39;Open Tour buses. I believe they%26#39;re about 27 Euros for a 2 day pass -- much less for children -- and they have about 40 stops. They%26#39;re the yellow double decker buses, and you can pay for the ticket on the bus. Some places they stop are Notre Dame, Le Madeleine, and Saint Germain des Pr��s. They go to Montmartre, all the way out to Bercy, down to Montparnasse to the Place Denfert Rochereau, etc. I checked another hop on hop off tour bus, and they only had a few stops in comparison, for about 6 Euros less. Those were the red tour buses. I believe that L%26#39;Open Tour is run by the RATP. Here%26#39;s their website... have a look:
