Looking for a night time bus tour that will drive by the illuminated sights of Paris in December. Would rather skip the HOHO buses and just have a continuous tour if possible. Looks like Paris City Vision Paris by Night Tour ( in Rick Steves Book) is not operating now. any other suggestions would be appreciated. thank you

It looks like TootBus is the new provider https://www.hop-on-hop-off-bus-tours.com/tour-paris-chirstmas-lights-tour
We took a similar tour (maybe the old provider) in Nov. 2019. I recommend buying your tickets online. Get there early - check in was very disorganized (hopefully it has improved). Bundle up - we sat up top for the view, but even with thermals, sweatshirt, jacket, scarf & hat, I FROZE. It was still great, but be prepared for COLD. You will also get a new appreciation for how horrible traffic is in Paris.

Try Bustronome - the gourmet bistro bus. Such a lovely special treat and it starts near the Champs-Elysees, so you can walk down the avenue first on you way to Avenue Kleber and the views at Christmas are so special.

HI,
You can try the TOOT BUS company. They have now the Christmas Night tour which is very nice.
It's a 90min city tour around the City. I did it with my family few days ago.

There is also other companies but i don't know if they do the Christmas tour with all the beautiful lights !
I can recommend also another way to see the city, that's the tuk tuk tour ! We did that during our first day but i'm sure that they also do Night tours. Look for the company TUKTUK RIDE https://www.tuktukride.com it was fantastic ! Ask for Julien, if he is available he will do a wonderful job.
Enjoy this beautiful city !
