    Do Not Use this company - no guarantee they actually have a ticket for you

    HELEN_C, May 2026
    The tour started at 9.30am, at 7pm the night before I received an email to say they did not have tickets for me. By the time I received the email at 9pm, contacted Viator and told the company had closed for the day so that was that. I had ordered in advance and paid in advance. Totally shocking way to treat customers, told I could go a different day, but would have left Paris by then. So no Effiel Tower for me. It was already totally over priced, then they did not deliver, just left out to dry

    It was very nice and...

    It was very nice and interesting tour with Gorann. totally recommend to join and see the Paris from the bird's view

    Nina was a great guide!...

    Michelle_M, Apr 2026
    Nina was a great guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable. One thing that we didn't realize when booking is that she didn't accompany us the whole time; only to the 2nd floor. I also assumed we would get immediate entry, but we had to wait in line to buy tickets for our walk up to the 2nd floor, which we could've done without the booking. She used the wait time wisely but sharing with us information about the tower.

    Do not purchase from Viator

    The tour guide did not show up! We paid $500 for tickets. The tour guide also did not respond to multiple attempts to calls and texts. He claimed we didnt show up therfore we lost our money. Viator will do nothing about this issue with the evidence I provided. The staff at Eiffel tower told us this happens all the time!! Shame on you Viator for scamming people!!! Offered zero resolve!!!!!!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    We’re sorry you missed your tour, however our guide and coordinator were present at the designated meeting point at the scheduled time. We provided timestamped screenshots and communication records confirming this, along with multiple attempts to contact you. Unfortunately, missing the meeting point falls under the missed-tour policy. We also ask that communication remain respectful, as our staff were subjected to your very insulting language despite their efforts to assist.

    Not good at all

    Jamie_A, Apr 2026
    We were contacted at 22:53 the night before to move the time from 5pm the next day to 9:30am. We had to change plans and then no-one was at the meeting point, really disappointed.

    The guide was great and...

    Katie_T, Apr 2026
    The guide was great and had a lot of interesting information. The wait for tickets was extremely long. I don’t feel like the summit was worth it.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the guide informative and engaging. We understand that the waiting time for tickets was longer than expected and appreciate how this may have impacted your overall experience. Please note that during Easter Week, visitor numbers increase significantly due to the high demand associated with this peak travel period. As a result, longer queues and delays are quite common across most attractions. We truly value your comments, as they help provide context for future travelers and allow us to continue improving the experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

    Disappointing

    Julia_B, Apr 2026
    We purchased the tour that included access to summit by elevator. However, on the day of the tour the access got closed due to weather. Our tour guide who was excellent told us that it is a normal procedure to issue refunds to the clients if the summit is not available. We requested a refund but Adventour rejected it. This is a very disappointing experience so we do not recommend using this operator.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We have already issued the refund for the summit elevator access as per our weather policy. Refund was sent to your original payment method. We’re sorry the summit was closed that day, but we’re glad you enjoyed your guide. If you haven’t received the refund yet, please check with your bank (it can take 5–10 business days) or reply with your booking number and we’ll look into it immediately.

    Terrible!

    Derek_H, Apr 2026
    They cancelled the tour 30mins before it was supposed to start!! They asked us if we wanted a refund or to reschedule - we requested a full refund since we don't have time to reschedule and have not heard anything!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the last-minute cancellation. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen issue with the tour guide’s transportation, the tour had to be cancelled on short notice. We understand how frustrating this is, especially with limited time to reschedule. Your request for a full refund has been noted, and we recommend following up directly through your booking platform to ensure it is processed promptly. We appreciate your patience and regret the inconvenience caused.

    Great experience

    Catherine_W, Mar 2026
    Great experience. Niki/Nina was amazing. So knowledgeable and personable and easy to spend time with.

    Best guide ever! Fantastic tour

    Holly_C, Mar 2026
    We booked the guided tour and Nina was the most amazing tour guide. Soo knowledgeable but above all just a great, friendly, happy, bubbly person who handled everything with ease and really got to know us - we weren’t just ‘another group’. We had a minor hiccup with the stairs up the Eiffel Tower being shut due to a marathon event but it was no trouble, sorted with additional tickets (cost covered by the company) to go up via the elevator. She took time to tell us things, answer any questions, pointed out things I’d never have looked at, told us loooads of facts about the tower itself plus surrounding buildings. Honestly, such a fantastic tour guide, we couldn’t have got anyone better. Nina, you were amazing! We wish you all the best xxxxxx

    Amazing tour guide and amazing tour!

    leigh_w, Feb 2026
    Nina was a fantastic tour guide, shows immense enthusiasm. We were on the 5pm tour on Saturday 21/2 Nina gave so much information about Eiffel Tower and surrounding land marks and Paris! Without this tour we would have missed out on so so much! Please do book a tour it is worth every penny and certainly enriches your Paris experience. Thank you Nina you where absolutely Fantastic and gave us an amazing tour!

    Three times the cost for some data that comes out on wikipedia.

    Nicolas_S, Apr 2026
    Guided by a love, but exactly the same things as if it were just, same steps, I take the Tickets ahead of us. Same as if it were alone, but paying 3 times more. The truth is purposeless.

    Gracias por su opinión y por haber participado en nuestro tour. Me alegra que haya encontrado amable y simpática a la guía. Para aclarar lo que contrataron: Usted reservó un tour guiado de 90 minutos con entrada prioritaria a la Torre Eiffel no solo entradas normales

    Recommended!

    Recommended experience .. climb on foot challenging but feasible and the summit with its panorama repays the effort!
