HI-Does anyone know if the 4 day Paris Pass includes a two day or a four day museum pass?

Its a horrible rip off . Do not get it.

Just purchase a normal Paris Museum Pass.

Paris pass is not even a "pass" its simply a bunch of vouchers.

You can purchase the transportation you need and the MP for less.. And its most unlikely you would have the time to use all the features..so you pay for things you won't use.

Work out the math.

Paris Museum Pass is 54 euros.
A carnet of ten one way tickets on metro or bus is 14 euros.
Boat cruises run from 11-14 euros.
A two day Hoho ticket on L'Open Tour is 36 euros.

118 euros. if you got another carnet.. 132 euros.

A four day Paris Pass ( which btw only includes a one day Hoho ticket , not a two day) costs

154 euros.

The Paris Pass comes in 2-day, 4-day or 6-day museum/transport amounts.

But I'll throw my vote in with Pat: that pass is very expensive for what it is, and if you do the math - as you should do with any pass - you'll probably figure that out.

I purchased Paris Museum Passes (doesn't include transport) but only after comparing the cost of the attractions we wished to see against individual entry fees. Along with other sites, we did the Louvre 3 times on that pass (it's too big to see in one visit) over our week so that alone helped justify the price.

Depending on the time you have and what is on your must-do list, it's usually much less expensive to purchase just the Museum Pass plus carnets of 10 individual transport tickets instead of the Paris Pass. We ended up using the metro/buses very little over our week in the city as it was much more fun to walk! If you have mobility challenges, however, you may use those more than we did.

Do be aware that no pass that I know of covers the Eiffel.

Thank you for your replays! I am trying to figure out if the pass would be worth it to us as we do want to do the bus tour and the river cruise in addition to the museum pass. It is hard to figure out if the four day Paris Pass is worth it unless I know if the Museum Pass included in the Paris Pass is good for two days or four when you purchase the four day Paris Pass. We definitely want the four day museum Pass and I know it would not be worth purchasing the 6 day Paris Pass just to get the four day museum pass. We will only be in Paris four nights.

The Paris Pass just takes stuff easily available in Paris, throws them into an envelop and charges you extra to do so. The Paris Visite Transport pass is almost never a good deal. The Museum Pass in the kit is just an ordinary museum pass, so just get it when you get there. If you want a hoho bus, just buy the ticket (for less) when you board the buss -- and if you change your mind, no harm no foul. Boat cruises can be purchased on line ahead (Vedettes Pont Neuf) for a slight discount. But generally you just walk up and buy a ticket and board the boat when you want to cruise. If it is full, there will be another leaving shortly.

Buying this at great cost makes no sense since there is nothing in this kit (not Pass if by pass you are thinking of a single card that does all these things) that is not easily available when you arrive in Paris.
