Great tour. It was easy to find the meeting point. The guide was so nice and very informative. It was a good, small group. Thanks
Hello Lulu! What could be scraping the clouds above Paris with the City of Light at your feet, and an expert guide beside you to tell you all about its past, present, and future. It was a delight having you, thank you so much from all of us at Memories!
Well with it! Our guide Remi was terrific! Knowledgeable and very engaging with all in our group! Loved learning about this beautiful tower!! Thank you!!
What can be better than the City of Light spread out at your feet and scraping the clouds above it with an expert guide ready to tell you all about its past, present, and future! We loved having you, thanks so much for choosing to reserve with us!
Remi our guide was there to meet us and guided us all the way to the summit giving us information and pointing out points of interest as we went. He was very informative but didn’t just throw facts and figures at us, he made it interesting. He then left us at the top to make our way down at our own pace. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to take photos. This is the best way to do justice to the Eiffel Tower.
Hello Fiona and thank you for the fantastic review which we take very much to heart, as will Remi! We do our utmos to do justice, as you say, to Paris's most iconic structure and to fill you in on how it ties into the city's history and urban fabric. Thanks so much for choosing us to lead your Eiffel safari!
Our guide Alex was very informative! He was very patient and attentive. We had a lovely tour and would recommend it to our friends and family!
We are so happy to hear you had a lovely time- that's exactly what Memories is all about! Thank you for allowing us to earn those five stars and wonderful recommendation!
Great experience. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Perfect way to get to the Summit and then you are on your own and can spend as much time as you want.
Well "perfect" is certainly what we aim for, Kristopher, and it is so rewarding to hear that we knock it out of the park. We at Memories also think that it's the perfect way to scrape Parisian clouds, getting the most out of the experience with a guide, and the free to explore on your own. Thank you!
Remy was superb. Very knowledgeable, humorous, and informative. He had a wealth of knowledge from significant facts to fascinating trivia.
We so agree that a Memories guide is the only way to go - to scrape the heavens above the City of Lights at your feet while an expert shares their understanding of Paris's past, present, and future- well that is how we get our name. Thank you so much for booking with us and we'll transmit your warm praise to Remi!
Remy was amazing! We absolutely loved his energy and he was very passionate about sharing history of Paris! He was honest, great humor, and made the whole experience life changing! He took the time to share a lot of information about the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Montparnasse, The Louvre, the Arc de Triomphé and more!!! It was so awesome hearing the history and how buildings were made and we did not know the Eiffel Tower was made out of iron and that the painters paint with brushes! That’s so cool!!!! So much to take in! He made it so easy! We would highly recommend him to anyone traveling to Paris and to book a private tour guide! He’s the best! Parisians are awesome! Thank you so much Remy!
Wowza! Remi is leading the whole Memories family in our happy dance at reading such an exceptionally stellar review! We do our utmost to provide tours that can indeed be life-changing (and who doesn't come down from the Eiffel Tower at least a little bit changed!) if you let our magic work on you. Thanks ever so much for letting us know we knocked it out of the park and we'll hope our paths cross again one day!
Forget our tour guide name, but he was very informative, engaging, energetic, and even helped book a dinner reservation while we waited in line. Not sure there’s a time benefit to booking a tour versus just purchasing tickets and waiting in line. But we did enjoy the extra commentary.
We strive to enhance your experience of the Eiffel Tower which means booking months in advance for a reserved time slot, which means you can skip some of the famous Eiffel lines. To add to that we also offer an understanding of what you're seeing as you climb, of the significance of what you're climbing as an icon of Paris - thanks so much for coming with us to see the Eiffel Tower - we hope it was unforgettable!
Bayo was a fabulous tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, funny, and great to chat with. He was able to answer any questions we had, and he was very entertaining. We would happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris!
The Eiffel Tower is such an unforgettable way to get a sense of Paris of yesteryear and today- a great way to start or cap off a visit here - no perspective can beat it. Thank you so much for the warm recommendation that we'll be sure to transmit to Bayo!
Davis was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and kind. We got top of the tower access which is not available to every tour company. Highly recommend.
Only the best with Memories - that's what's on offer. The Eiffel Tower is a fantastic place to get a sense of the city of both yesterday and today, and what to say about the view? We are so happy you enjoyed yourself and will be sending your fabulous review on to David - Thank you for booking with us!
