The Top of the Tower!
I have been to Paris more than once, but never to the top of the Eiffel Tower! The views were amazing. Our guide, Magdelana, was especially helpful and knowledgeable. I'm telling several people who will be visiting Paris not to miss this.

Eyeful Tower
Our guide was knowledgeable and provided some interesting information. He was considerate and allowed some other tour group members to join the group part way through the tour as they were late. But considering the cost of the elevators only with the cost of the tour, the tour is way overpriced. I'd read up on the Tower online and then do it yourself. The considerable up charge for the tour just isn't worth it.

Our tour guide was absolutely amazing, they waited for us because I missed the meet up location and when I got there she had everyone sing Happy Birthday To Me ! AMAZING

We met the guide close to...
We met the guide close to the Eiffel Tower. It was a small group about eight people in total. She gave us some history on the Eiffel Tower. Then we waited in line to go to the second floor. We were shoved into elevators like sardines. It was very crowded. On the second floor there were some amazing views. Our guide gave us some additional history about some areas we were able to see of Paris while on the second floor. That’s basically where the guided tour ended. Then we got on additional elevators to go to the summit. We took some pictures and then made our way down. Again, it was very crowded. I’m not sure if it was worth the additional money though I would definitely recommend going to the Eiffel Tower and making your way to the top. There are some amazing views.!

Eiffel tour
Excellent. Tour guide was wonderful. Highly recommend her and this tour. She was energetic and tour only had 10 people

A guide was helpful
Flavia was great though her part was pretty short, she was knowledgeable and helpful. Having a guide to help navigate security with so many people visiting and provide history was a bonus as opposed to going just on your own. I would suggest some sort of audio amplification for a tour guide with that many people, hard to hear.

Good
Easy place to meet up.. guide took us through entrance and accompanied us to 2nd floor. Gave us necessary tickets. We went to summit on our own with the ticket he gave us. Some overview of Eiffel Tower and history. But not extensive. .. overall a good experience and took worry out of trying to figure out how to navigate e writhing.
