Bee Shuttle - Not good!

I would NOT advise people to use Bee Shuttle when visiting Paris as we had a very stressful experience after confirming the booking the day before, landing on time and waiting in exactly the right place...

We were left waiting for over an hour after arriving at our pick-up point. We tried the toll-free number and it didn%26#39;t work from either of our mobiles or the public pay-phone as it said on their email. I had to ask the lady at the United airlines counter to call in the end as she spoke French. They said they would arrive in 5 minutes - another 20 minutes later and a guy in a tracksuit pulled up in a rusty old blue minibus, said nothing, no apology or explanation and was joking about us to some other guy in French who hid his sniggers but kept staring. He mumbled some sort of explanation as we were on our way that %26#39;his boss%26#39; had made him go and drop someone else off first so we had to wait our hour!!

On the way back the shuttle collected us an hour before we had originally requested. We thought this must be because they knew the traffic better than us, but it was because we had to pick up others on the way - the disadvantage of a shared shuttle. Overall, it was slightly cheaper than a taxi but a lot more stressful!

psarah,

Sorry you had such a stressful time. Years ago I had a shuttle get lost on his way to pick someone else up. I was so stressed that we might miss our flight that I%26#39;ve always budgeted for a taxi both ways ever since.

Hi Linda,

I think taxis are the way forward!! Lol! We%26#39;re off to NYC for our honeymoon (our 4th trip there) and we were tempted to splurge on a fancy transfer to and from the airport but Paris has put us off a bit... Plus the taxis in New York are really well organised now and you always know how much you%26#39;re paying and that they%26#39;ll turn up!!

Unless we find a stonkingly good review for a Manhattan transfer/shuttle then its going to be taxis for us...

Congrats on the marriage and honeymoon. Skip the fancy shuttle idea, take a cab and save the money for something special for the two of you.
