Day at the EiffelTower.
Our guide was exceptionally good, kind and came to meet us when we couldn't find the meeting point. I think her name is Diane (she has red hair). I and my family enjoyed the tour and would recommend it.

Great experience!
We are very pleasantly surprised that our family tour for three and a small group ended up being a private tour for just the three us. The tour guide, Dana, was very knowledgeable about the process and the best way to enter the tower and she was very knowledgeable about of all sorts. We spoke a lot about Napoleon, which was a particular interest to my family and me.

No summit option
Tour guide was very knowledgeable but we were disappointed by the fact that the summit excursion tickets were sold out despite having booked months in advance. Our tour guide had to buy our tickets on the day, and it was not pre-purchased.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for highlighting your guide’s knowledge during the Eiffel Tower tour. We completely understand your disappointment at being unable to visit the summit. Unfortunately, summit access is managed directly by the Eiffel Tower and may become unavailable at short notice due to capacity limits, overcrowding, technical issues, or operational closures—even when a tour has been booked months in advance. These decisions are outside the guide’s and tour operator’s control. We’re sorry that the summit was unavailable on the day of your visit, but we hope you still enjoyed the guided experience and the wonderful views from the highest accessible level. ElysiaGo Team
