From the 4 routes of the Hop on Hop off bus, the Montparnasse Tower is on the Montparnasse - Saint-Germain Route and get off at Montparnasse stop, other than the great view... This pass can be used on any of the routes, they can spend their time seeing the places covered on the Paris Grand tour route which is the most popular route and when they get down at Notre Dame instead of taking the Paris Grand Tour bus, they can hop in the Montparnasse - St Germain bus and then get down at the Pantheon, spend some time there or just continue to the Tower for some best views of Paris!!
