Christina: thank you. I hope it does not have to be one with a chip in it.

Cathinjoetown: That is correct that there will be 2 traveling. But the AF bus is 17E pp x 2=34E. I read that a taxi is 50E plus tip.

Do we tip the AF bus driver?

No tip is required for the taxi driver, but if you have lots of luggage and he helps you with it, you might give a few euros (BTW, there is an extra euro charge for extra luggage, i.e., more than one bag each - so be prepared for that).

You absolutely do not tip the AF bus driver.

fff

You're correct on the price estimate bus v taxi but I understood you would need a taxi from the AF bus drop off point to your hotel, so add another 10-12€ for that.

Because a taxi is needed after the bus, for me anyway, a taxi directly from CDG becomes justifiable.

Thanks StCirq

Cathijoetown-That makes sense and I will remember that for future trips. This trip we are going directly to Gare de Lyon to catch a train to Dijon, so the AF shuttle is a good choice since that is the first stop heading into Paris.

Can't believe we will be there Thursday!!! So excited.

Have an excellent trip. Got you confused with the OP, TAW.

Bus makes perfect sense.
