hop on and off bus tour paris

Hello out there

my wife and i are visiting paris in april, and have booked a 2 day bus tour that allows us to hop on and off the bus, but no where on the site does it tell us what the bus signs will look like, it is with viator and the tour is called paris city hop on hop off, has anyone else taken this tour and could please let us know what to look for at bus stops so we know which ones the bus stops at, because there seems to be many options and it is not too clear, any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Mark, did you actually already pay for this?? Cancel if you can..
I hope not, booking agencies( viatour) charge more then the real price, and you do not need to book ahead. The hop on and off buses are buy the ticket as you board. This is great since if the weather is bad and rainy ( like I had last August) then don't bother with them since the best part of them is sitting up top ( which is uncovered) and getting a birds eye view of sites.

There are two companies that offer the HO HO buses.
L'Open Tour and Rouge Cars. The L'Open Tour offer more routes and is considered by most the better product. Their buses are lime green and yellow, and you can see their bus stops( which are near to all major sites)as their signs are also bright limey green and yellow.
Rouge cars are as name states, red.

L'Open Tour buses have their own website, easy to read. Cost is 26 euros one day 28 for two day pass.
Google it.
