M
Very good Eiffel Tower tour. Straight and to the point, but insightful!
Paul arrived ahead of schedule and checked everyone in. He was very knowledgeable, insightful and patient. We gave some history facts to start off, then we made our way to the elevator up the 2nd floor where he gave some history as well as pointing out several historical sites on all sides of the tower. We had a great time. Would definitely suggest. A+++ Mr. A.
N
Good, but could have been better
The small group was not very small. The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. IMO not worth the money.
K
Great Eiffel experience

We weren’t able to find the group.

I thought that I had paid...
I thought that I had paid for going to top. Was told only 2nd floor. Will check charges when I get home. Interesting I was not the only one in group who thought that. Young lady very informative

No tour guide showed/ no notification tour cancelled
Tour guide did not show up at the meeting place. Five other tourists, my granddaughter and I waited for 45 minutes. We learned that the Eiffel Tower had closed for the day

Solid Tour
We had a nice tour at the Eiffel with Gaeton, who got us to the second deck and gave us a quick talk describing what we were seeing in the 4 views. The best thing was we had booked the day before but because of the labor strikes it was cancelled. The tour company was very accommodating in rescheduling for the next day, and very helpful in communicating the changes.

Would recommend!
This was our second time on the tour, and it was even more enjoyable this time because of our guide, who made the experience more engaging. Although the tour was in English and a French couple joined our group, it didn't detract from our enjoyment. The rest of us were very interested in the history and sights of Paris from a distance.

Poor Value for money
I was hoping to skip queues by taking a guide, instead still queued, at vast expense for short tour. With a nurodiverse granddaughter keen to see the Eiffel tower i tried to book about 2 weeks before travel but no prebooked tickets available. I could walk up on arrival but discounted this as granddaughter not good at queues and I was imaging long queues at walk up, so only alternative was to book a tour at vast expense of 190 Euros for 3 of us. On arrival at meeting place at 6.15 tour guide not distinguishable from any one else, eventually we were contacted. Short introduction at 6.30 followed by a ten minute walk to the tower ticket office (where there was no queue) more information briefly, and then into a queue, another queue for the security scanner and another queue for the lift. At the 2nd floor we were pointed out landmarks E, S, N, W and at 7.30 the tour was over. As one of the other people in our group said "I don't know why I'm taking this tour" We reckon that the tour guides buy up most of the tickets in advance so if you want to be sure of going up you have to take a tour. Worst value for money I've had in a long time. the value on our printed ticket was 23,10 Euros. Bit of a scam and I don't recommend. Take your chance with a walk up ticket or book a longer ahead perhaps
