Tour guide was excellent and had a great understanding of the business. Was very pleased with how close I got to the planes. Would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in planes.

If its not Boeing I'm not going! Can honestly say this tour could be so much more. You don't really feel part of the Airbus pride in their product, unlike when have visited Boeing in Seattle. Printed Internet instructions and had no problem in finding the place. Including following the Lets Visit Airbus signs. More made of the gift shop... More

I was a bit let down in the end really. I think I had built it up to be a walking Discovery channel doco of super cool stuff, but it lacked a bit of enthusiasm in the end. Perhaps our group (the English tour) were no good.I was expecting a bunch of plane nuts asking questions about specific spanners used,... More

We took the Panoramic tour since it also had something on the new/upcoming A350. All we finally got to see was the outside of the A350 hanger, a few A320s and some ATRs. The tour lacked imagination for a "live" event. Learnt a bit of history in the process, and also got an idea of how much an A320 would... More

We signed up for the Let's Visit Airbus A380 Factory Tour, which was an hour and a half of discovering how the Airbus is made, certified, customized and sold, through an interactive tour. The guide was very knowledgable and spoke great English (they have one or two English tours every day). They also have two other tours, an environmental stability... More

It was a bit hard to get there. Followed the instructions I had here, but the signs are not big enough and not placed at the right placed. Easy to miss and if you miss you are pretty much screwed up. The factory is so big and if you are walking, you will waste a lot of time. I wonder... More

We had a tour of the A380 with a group of people from the group.This was great to see: - How the Aircraft is being manufacture - How large it is from the ground - How complex it is from a supply chain standpoint I would recommend for people interested in Manufacturing

I enjoyed the tour although they could have done more with what they have on site. I found it crazy that we could not even take photos of the completed aircraft outside on the tarmac. The mock ups are old and out of date especially if one has flown in an A380. The guide spoke good English and seemed quite... More

We came to Toulouse to do the Airbus factory tour, and booked the Panoramic Tour. We've done the Boeing tour at Seattle, and it was impressive. Obviously, not speaking French was going to be an issue as we had to pick a tour in english, and we booked the Panoramic (I don't think I realized it was all on-bus, all... More

You don't see much of the actual "factory" besides the hangar where the aircraft are finished, but I thought it was worth it to get an inside "peek" at where the A380s are built. Nevertheless very informative, though the last part (A380 cabin interior) should be updated. I would still recommend if you are in the area and you are... More
