Eiffel Tower with Catalina

Catalina was awesome and fun! Great first day in Paris seeing the Eiffel Tower and riding all the way to the top!

Summit sold as a paid upgrade, closed on the day – and no warning anywhere in the listing Great view, misleading listing

We booked this package specifically to get to the summit and paid the summit upgrade for two people. Only at the meeting point were we told the third level might not be accessible and it was indeed closed that day. Nothing in the listing warns that this can happen. The summit is sold purely as a paid extra, it is even in the product title. We were merely told we could claim a refund ourselves. Having taken money for a level they knew that morning they could not deliver, the operator should have apologised and refunded the supplement to our card on their own initiative. The Seine "cruise" is not part of the guided experience: you receive simply a standard Bateaux Parisiens ticket, walk over yourself, then queue over an hour to board a large boat with hundreds of others: no personal service, and the ticket can be bought directly. The guiding effectively ends at the lift to level 2. The view over Paris is magnificent. But for what you actually receive, this package is clearly overpriced, and the listing does not tell you what you need to know before paying.

Well worth the expense

Our tour guide was excellent. She made the experience memorable for the whole family. She got us up to the second level and gave us insight into all the main attractions of Paris.

Mesmerizing Beauty of Paris

Absolutely beautiful experience it was. Had opted for Eiffel Tower 2nd floor access with Summit, followed by the Siene River Cruise. The best part was getting to know about so many facts of the tower from Ekatte, she was our wonderful guide for the day. Knowledgeable with a dash of funky essence, she's amazing. Completely recommend this package for hassel free Paris experience.

Totally recommendable

The experience has been wonderful. The agency is very close to the Eiffel Tower and they took us walking. The girls at the agency are very kind. And our guide, Hypolitte, explained everything to us wonderfully. He has been very attentive to us. Without a doubt, I would repeat with them; everything was very good.

As described

Everything went as described. Access was easy and facilitated by the guide. The guide was great. It is very crowed and your exit may take awhile

Nice experience with the Eiffel Tower, Seine cruise not worth

Nice experience with the Eiffel Tower, however, will mean it a waste of money to book it with Seine cruise. Whether you have the ticket at home from or buy it over in Paris I personally experienced that it was irrelevant. You still had to stand in meters long queues, and we didn't even get out on the boat trip due to the massive long queues

Best way to see the Eiffel tower

Definitely a must do when seeing Paris. The tour director walked us to the Eiffel Tower and brought us up to the second level where she walked us up to the line where we waited for the elevator to the top. She was very knowledgeable and gave us interesting bits of trivia and history. I felt like we saved alit of time by going with the tour and less waiting in long lines.

Excellent organization....

Excellent organization. We managed to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and take a beautiful cruise on the Seine from which we saw the major points of interest in Paris.
