Don't buy tickets here!!
Totally unnecessary to buy tickets via Paris Trip!! Buy directly Official Office for a fraction of the price we paid. We feel cheated! The guide was nice, but there was no real guidance.
Operator response
Dear Eva, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found our guide friendly, although we are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that our activity is not simply a standard Eiffel Tower entrance ticket. It includes a pre-arranged ticket with summit access, an English-speaking guided introduction, and assistance from our meeting point to the Eiffel Tower, including the access process and elevators. This is particularly useful for guests who prefer to have their visit organized in advance rather than purchasing a ticket directly at the monument when waiting times can vary a lot from day to day We understand that some travelers may prefer to purchase a basic ticket directly from the Eiffel Tower and visit independently. However, our service is designed for guests who value the convenience of advance booking, assistance and summit access, particularly during periods of high demand when tickets can be difficult to obtain. We are sorry that you did not feel the additional service provided sufficient value for the price you paid. We nevertheless appreciate your feedback and hope this clarification helps future guests choose the experience that best matches their expectations. Kind regards, Alex

Excellent Guide - Full of information. Good ticket availability when official site sold out
Having found tickets on the official Eiffel site were sold out, or at inconvenient times, we happened across this tour, which clearly had availability at the times we wanted to go. In the end, it was a great stroke of luck as we had a wonderful experience with Ekaette. We all met at the tour office, only a very short stroll from the tower, where we were handed out tickets. Then strolled to the tower where she ushered us in, and gave us a lot of information before we went up the first lift. She accompanied us to the 2nd floor before leaving and ensured we were all sure where to go etc. Throughout, Ekaette was full of information, very lively, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, we found out things we had not realised and were very pleased we had not just booked tickets and done things ourselves. I highly recommend this tour.

Magical
We had a terrific tour guide, a Nigerian lady nicknamed Grandma. Very informative and a good sense of humor. She took us up to the 2nd floor by elevator and we took the optional extension to the summit. We started the tour at 7:15PM, which was perfect because we saw the tower in the daylight, surrounding sights at dusk, and then in the night. Spectacular views, sights, and overall experience! We also got lucky because they sometimes close the summit because of wind, but they opened for us when the wind died down! The only negative are the crowds. They really pack you into the elevators. This tour was definitely worth it.

Toast at the top of the world
I booked with Paris Tours just with an Eiffel Tower Google search, last minute. Maud was our energetic, French tour guide and we enjoyed her historic images and information. We went directly to the head of the line for security and timed tickets. Maud dropped us off on the second level and we were on our own which was fine. Yes, we bought the expensive Champagne at the summit and toasted a beautiful day at the top of the world. Also had a beer at the terrace on the first level, with the glass floor. Very cool.

Well organised tour and excellent guide
Well organised experience. Meeting arrangements were very clear and we were well looked after throughout. Chloe, our tour guide, was excellent- charming and informative. She made our transition through the entrance process and up to the second level quick and straightforward. Skipping past the lines was great and it was worth every penny. Would highly recommend!
