The tour was well organized. Our guide Chloe was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. My husband and I have hearing issues and Chloe spoke clearly and was a pleasure to work with. She was enthusiastic and definitely added to our experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour of the Eiffel Tower.
The service and the visit were very good, but very expensive.
Marcella was our guide she was informative and great
I would also like to say a special thanks to Joseph. He was truly a wonderful guide. He was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and he made the experience very enjoyable and memorable for me. I’m very happy that you made an exception and allowed me to join the tour even the payment still pending. I really appreciate your help, and I had a wonderful time in Paris. linda lin tai from Taiwan.
Our guided tour of the Eiffel Tower in Paris was wonderful. Our guide was ALWAYS smiling with lots of energy and made the experience awesome. Seeing Paris from the Eiffel Tower was incredible, and the Seine River cruise was equally amazing.
Definitely worth booking this trip. We avoided long queues and having Hippolyte as our guide made for a stress free visit. He was excellent, informative and funny. He took care to ensure everybody in our group of about 12 people stayed together and could hear the information he gave, which was full of interesting facts.
Our guide was awesome!! She is a dramatic arts student and was engaging and very knowledgeable.
Very beautiful experience sun expression at 5 p.m. breathtaking panorama
Catalina was lovely and brilliant, telling us about the history of the Eiffel Tower. Her knowledge on this subject was amazing. We travelled ti the 2nd floor by lift where there were great views of the Seine and city 😘🥳😍
Fantastic tour of the Eiffel Tower with a quick river cruise afterward. Sarah the tour guide was very good and spoke excellent English. The meeting location was easy to find, and was a quick walk to the Eiffel tower. She provided a good amount of history and facts about the Eiffel Tower, got us to the first viewing platform, and then set us free to walk around. We opted to go to the top which of course has fantastic views of Paris. The river boat cruise was very nice, on a crowded boat so try to get upstairs in the open air.
