Long lines, crowded, very hot and not recommended for summit, the views are not as great as second floor

We did not get to experience. We traveled from Disneyland Paris. My son has ulcerative colitis and was not able to get his body regulated. We had to stop. Traffic was horrible and we did not make it. I communicated with the the group and we tried to get through security that did communicate back and tried to give us alternative locations to meet but we were not able to make it and were late and we were not shows.

The customer service is non-existent. John Paul kept me on the phone pretending to help for over 40 minutes and did absolutely nothing. Then received very generic, dismissive emails which contradicted their policies

The Eiffel Tower was incredible! But we were disappointed with our guide. She ushered 40 of us thru security and then talked to us about what to expect going up to the three different levels. It was such a large group and she couldn’t project her voice, so she asked that only one person from each group stand close to her. So half the group missed out on the narrative. Very annoying!

The security is frightening. It is more than getting on an airplane and that is ominous. The elevator are very crowded and I suggest you admire from the outside instead of subjecting yourself to being treated as an animal

The Eiffel Tower experience was wonderful however the meet up point to get your tickets was not at the Eiffel Tower. It was probably about 15 minutes away and it was confusing. So many people were like is this the right spot. It just felt unnecessary and it would’ve been so much easier if we could’ve collected the tickets at the Eiffel Tower.
Janice_T, May 2026
The meeting place outside of the Eiffel Tower was a lot further away than we had anticipated. The guide did not have a loud enough voice, so she was difficult to hear and understand. Then when she turned to guide us to the entrance, she was walking so fast it was difficult to keep up with her.
Matthew_W, May 2026
Our tour guide Dinesh was excellent, very knowledgeable and great sense of humor 11/10. Highly recommend.
Heidi_F, May 2026
A delightful and fun excursion. A cheerful guide, easy way to navigate and find our group. We even made some new friends with fellow attendees.
Paul_G, May 2026
AMAZING!! We loved it all from start to finish!!!! Thank you Viator, highly recommend this tour!!! Very well planned and organised.
Brian_K, May 2026
Great experience. Guide was very knowledgeable and provided some great information and history of the tower. The. elevator was a must unless you have a goal of climbing 1665 stairs. Going to the top was a cool experience but only going to the 2nd floor would have likely been enough.
Jill_R, May 2026
Worth the experience-we visited to 2nd level via elevator and views are fabulous. PRE-BOOK - queues were very long but with pre booking literally straight through.
Irene_P, Apr 2026
This tour was not worth the money! The tour guide failed to properly identify herself initially, and then basically, the only thing she did was walk us into the Eiffel Tower entrance. When some of us in our group were stopped at security to have our bags checked, she never looked back and we never saw her again. So basically, we we paid so much money for this tour and were left alone! We should have just bought our tickets on our own since we got nothing for the money we spent on this tour. Complete waste of money!

Tour start was a bit hidden but overall it was a great way to land times tix to the Eiffel tour. The tour host was lovely and very informative.
Jose_C, Apr 2026
The tour guide Dinesh was very friendly, knowledgeable and explained every detail of the Eiffel Tower. Dinesh took the extra steps to make everyone got to their right place.
Holly_L, Apr 2026
Highly recommend as it would be very easy to be confused about where the lines start to go up and also where to exit , where the champagne is 👍. Our guide Somali was very good . She told us about the history of the Eiffel Tower. The great thing is she talked just enough and did not bore us by going on and on. Perfect amount of information
Joy_M, Apr 2026
The experience was a good one to get the inside information on the tower. Our guide was professional, approachable, and so aware of the hope of each person a very diverse group. Ge was also extremely patient and kind. I would highly recommend this tour and this guide.
Janet_Y, Apr 2026
Meeting location is good and short distance from tower to walk. Meet in time to avoid delay. Process for entering was smooth and very convenient
William_J, Apr 2026
There was a short-ish walk from the meeting point to the Tower, and the guide facilitated entrance. We booked the tour expecting to get to the top for sights, but it took about 2 hours to get from the meeting point to the top and all the views were of city lights - nice, but not what we expected. The area was packed to the gills, which I guess is to be expected, but the visit was, in general, somewhat disappointing. If returning, we would go in the morning and avoid mid-late afternoon times. Still, we can say we have been to the top of the Eiffel Tower...
Alan_A, Apr 2026
The tour guide was very informative and quickly got us to the elevators while sharing some wonderful information about the Eiffel Tower. The views were wonderful!
Esmeralda_T, Apr 2026
Arrived at the location as indicated and waited for a while. Contacted the lead and didn’t hear back until 30 minutes later. They represented me as a no show which was incorrect as I was there on time.
Florian_M, Apr 2026
Shady business model of reselling Eiffel tower tickets if they are sold out on official places! Zero value add of the tour guide with only verY few infos shared.
Ben_K, Mar 2026
Unless somehow you manage to score tickets on the official website (good luck) this is the next best thing. Meeting place is clearly identified and the guide who took us to the elevator was very informative and gave a good history of the tower. Highly recommend.
Nicholas_F, Mar 2026
The process was exactly as advertised and it was smooth and easy it’s not quick, but the guide isn’t at fault for that - it’s just a long process.
The flag she carried didn’t say Viator on it - but it was easy to tell who she was.
Well put together and efficient.
Rdz_M, Mar 2026
The meeting place was centrally located and well-lit, which made us feel safe and comfortable for a night tour. The tour guides were on time, friendly, and well-prepared. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, and she welcomed our questions, answering them with patience and grace. Highly recommend!

It amazing when you look down and walk down ....

Excellent tour guide, Ismail. Very knowledgeable about the Eiffel Tower. Going to the summit was fab and we timed our exit with the flashing lights.
Camille_S, Feb 2026
It’s definitely not a tour experience, but I wouldn’t say it was a terrible experience either. Like all the comments below said, you’re basically just getting faster entry than the regular ticket. So if you’re okay paying extra $$ to get in quicker, then I’d do it.
My recommendation is to just get a regular ticket through the actual Eiffel Tower website.
Darren_S, Feb 2026
Amazing from start to finish, absolute magical experience. We took the lift up to the summit and i can’t recommend this option enough
Pam_J, Feb 2026
The meeting place is too far from the Eiffel Tower. The elevator is packed. Views are really good and our guide pointed out important places.
