Highlight of Paris trip
We had a fantastic experience visiting the Eiffel Tower. The tour was easy to follow and everything was well organized from start to finish. The guide was welcoming and made the experience even more enjoyable by sharing interesting stories and information. Reaching the summit and seeing Paris from above was truly unforgettable. We both had a great time and would happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris!

Review
The tour guide was exceptional and very knowledge.Unfortunately both the top floor and 1at floor were closed due to the heat which is out of his control however I would have expected a small refund in return considering how expensive the package was. Awesome tour guide and it’s not his fault but I think Tripadvisor need to lower the price of the tour.
Operator response
Thank you for your review, and we hope we could serve you better but as you mentioned, it was totally out of our hands due to the weather conditions and we hope we can serve you better next time.

Memorable Eiffel Tower Visit
We booked this tour because we wanted a guided experience, and it exceeded our expectations. The guide shared fascinating facts about the tower's construction and the history behind it before we entered. The elevator ride to the summit was exciting, and the views across Paris were simply incredible. My children loved spotting famous landmarks from above. Everything was well coordinated, and the pace was comfortable. It was easily one of the best memories from our vacation.

Incredible Views of Paris
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. Our guide was friendly, organized, and shared interesting facts about the Eiffel Tower before we headed up. The summit views were absolutely breathtaking, especially on a clear day. Having everything arranged in advance made the experience smooth and stress-free. Definitely worth it

I wouldn't book this company
After booking this pretty expensive experience, we arrived 15 minutes before we were supposed to meet the guide. The guide no-showed. We called, we messaged, and after 30 minutes of trying to track someone down, we finally got someone on the phone who simply just said the guide wasn't coming. They refunded us, but it wasn't sufficient. We paid for cars to get there, sat around for 30 minutes and worst of all never got to go into the Eiffel Tower because it was closing 2 hours later and everything else was sold out. This tour company ruined a special experience and my kids were devastated.
Operator response
Thank you for your review. These days The Tower administration decided to close the tower at 2 pm for a week, so it was completely out of our hands to accomodate all the cancelled tours and rescheduling most of them which caused all the guides to be unavailable for more than one tour per day. You booked your tour in too short time before the time of the tour, so we could not assign a guide for this booking in this short time. We apologize of course but we hope that you can understand the unbelievable pressure put on us due to the closure of the tower in these days. We hope to serve you better in another chance, and you can just pointout that you had this situation with us before and we will give you a good compensation in the next time. Thank you

Enjoyable Eiffel.
This was my family’s first time to Paris and the tower so I honestly thought I’d be bored taking my third tour with a company. We really appreciate the extra attention and care, especially on such a hard, hot day with irritable tourists due to the heat. The guide was funny, knowledgeable, caring, empathetic, and thoughtful. Our family highly recommends this company, Trip monster.
