Best tour of our trip. Good guide, informative and entertaining. Showed us the sights and surroundings, took us to the 2nd floor and left us to do what we wanted. We stay a couple hours looking around and had a glass of wine. Great experience.

Abi was a great guide, the views are worth the day. I recommend going to the top first, security was a breeze but through lines was nice! I had been to the Tower fire but never went up to see, the history and views should not be missed.

Take me to the top!

Carol_P, Jul 2026
It’s definitely worth traveling to the top and you’ll be lucky if you get Leonardo (Leo) as your guide. He effortlessly guided us through the maze of people and had a very pleasant personality.

Nea is the best tour guide!

Courtney_B, Jul 2026
Nea was a fantastic tour guide and shared her knowledge and joy of art with our family. She was very engaging and made our family’s trip to the Louvre so special. We got so much more out of the experience learning from her- Thank you so much Nea!

Exciting experience

Dianne_F, Jun 2026
Although there are lifts, there are around 10 steps at the beginning. It was a very exciting experience for first time visitors.

Be on time!! Or else!!

Constance_O, Jun 2026
Be on time!! We got lost locating the meeting place to exchange our vouchers for the entry tickets. Forget about anyone waiting for you to help you join the group. While we had the tickets, the tour we paid for did not happen. Very disappointing.

A guided tour to the tower and up to the second floor. You can stay as long as you like once there. Our guide Fred was really friendly and personable.

Roshan_P, Jun 2026
Eiffel Tower tour was great, skip longer lines, knowledgeable tour guide named Aladin. I recommend it

It was great

Anthony_R, Jun 2026
We had a wonderful time on the tour. Going to the top floor was amazing! The tour guide did a great job explaining and navigating us through

Lou

Lou_C, Jun 2026
The Eiffel Tower tour was extremely enjoyable. Everything went smoothly. We were able to avoid the crowds and go to a separate line. We took the elevators to the top, which worked out very well, came down to the first level via the elevator and walked the stairs down from the first level for a special experience. All in all highly recommend this tour.

Very Happy with the Tour!

Sherri_P, Jun 2026
Leo was an excellent tour guide! This tour was well worth the money! There were lines and lines of people waiting to get entrance- estimated to be a three hour wait for them. But Leo led us directly to an entrance reserved for tours, and it took us mere minutes to gain entry. He explained what to expect at the security checks, and helped everyone to get ready in order to expedite the process. Our group had chosen to summit the Eiffel Tower, so Leo showed us exactly what to do. We had a quick walk from the meeting place, and an easy route to the top. If you want a hassle free trip to the top of the tower, this is the way to go!

Basically an escort into the Eiffel Tower

Stephen_B, Jun 2026
This was basically a skip the line entry. Our tour guide led the group about two blocks to the Eiffel tower. He escorted us through a expedited entry process and then to the second level. He provided background on the tower. Once we arrived at the second floor, he left the tour there.

Beautiful Views of a beautiful city

Nancy_S, Jun 2026
Remember to check your email for the tour start location as it is not at the Eiffel tower and a few block away. The tour company knows that there are some delays are will wait for all to register.

Exactly what I wanted!! A...

Jennifer_H, Jun 2026
Exactly what I wanted!! A good introduction to the Eiffel Tower. Escorted to the second floor. She spoke about the tower again and then we went to the top at our leisure

Eiffel Tower

Yolanda_M, Jun 2026
You will arrive at the lounge to redeem your voucher and wait for your appointed time to begin your tour. Our tour guide, Aladdin, was fabulous. We had a short walk to the tower. Once we showed our ticket and went through a preliminary security screening, we had time to use the restroom and take pictures. We then entered a priority entrance. Although it was a busy summer day, the line was not very long. Aladdin took us up the tower and shared historical facts. Once he finished with his presentation, the official tour ended. However, we were able to explore on our own. You are allowed to bring a refillable water bottle and there is a fountain near the restrooms.

Slight disappointment

Melissa_B, Jun 2026
Love the tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We were however disappointed that we purchased to go to the summit but it was closed due to the heat wave with zero offer of a discount or partial refund.

Dont ever use Viator.

Peter_F, Jun 2026
This was complete crap. Got there and were told we needed to the agency to pick up/print a voucher! WTF?!!

Save Your Money!

Kris_W, Jun 2026
Tour was supposed to start at 4:45 yet we didn’t make it to the tower until 5:45 due to the tour guide stopping to wait for out people to join our group. Due to the heat we couldn’t go to the very top of the tower which I paid extra for. Tour guide was new to his job and it showed. After an hour he was done with the group and we were on our own. Waste of money to have a guide for this tour. Not professional and I wasn’t impressed. I paid for a two hour tour and got 45 minutes worth.

Smooth process, great...

Krupa_T, Jun 2026
Smooth process, great Guides and very fun experience with our toddler along with us. Highly recommend

Amazing Tour

Valerie_M, Jun 2026
The tour was excellent. We learned so much and had an excellent guide, Sol, who made sure we didn’t miss any highlights. I’d always done a self-guided tour of the Eiffel tour in the past but found this tour to be well worth what I paid for. Sol made it easy for us to get around, either took us or advised us to where we could the best views from the tower, and generally made our visit do much easier.

Funny tour guide

Erik_A, Jun 2026
Wonderful experience. Funny and informative tour guide. Great gift store. Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

The experience was like...

Richard_G, Jun 2026
The experience was like no other. We met at a ticket office right around the tower, then heading to the elevators. Everything was neatly organized and in no time we were on the second level and even the top. The tour was designed for a basic introduction to the tower and then free time to explore on our own which my family enjoyed. Thank you!

Helpful tour guide, awesome views of Paris

Noel_A, Jun 2026
Finding the tour office a little tricky but the tour guide Matt was wonderful. Fantastic views from the second floor to the top. Must do this!!

Nea was a wonderful guide...

Daniele_B, Jun 2026
Nea was a wonderful guide - so knowledgeable and passionate about the art and the history behind it.

Horribly overpriced

Jennifer_R, Jun 2026
“Tour” is a misnomer. The “guide” told us very little about the tower itself; the tickets were insanely marked up (the actual ticket to summit was 37.60). Felt like a huge rip off.

Enjoyed

Julie_B, Jun 2026
Great guide. Well explained and patient. Nice short walk from meeting point Tower is exceptionally busy. Be prepared to wait for lifts

Great visit

Leigh_D, Jun 2026
Our tour guide was amazing. He knew about landmarks and pointed things out we didn’t see. He was the best. Highly recommend

Great Tour

Lawrence_H, Jun 2026
Salome was an guide. Intelligent, spoke clearly. She was fluent in at least 3 languages and not bad in a few others. It was a great tour.

Wonderful Monument….could have done without the guide.

KEVIN_P, Jun 2026
Eiffel Towrr was amazing, the “skip the line” is a must. Good luck on getting a good guide…choose your travel company wisely. Cocky and rude is no way to help visitors experience what may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Nice tour, guaranteed access to Summit.

Derek_A, Jun 2026
Overall fun experience. Be warned - even if Eiffel Summit is 'sold out' on the website, just go to the Eiffel Tower - they released tickets to the Summit just as our tour was arriving. You can save a lot of money. Due to this the Summit was extremely crowded. We got to the Eiffel about 1 hour early and just walked the grounds (you can enter without a ticket) -- at that time the Summit did not have any tickets - the video screens said Summit closed due to capacity. As soon as our tour arrived approx 345pm, the video screens changed to Summit Open - tickets available. Oh well! Could've saved like $200. Still a fun tour.

Abby was awesome!

Michael_H, Jun 2026
Abby was great - super friendly, very helpful with several in the group that needed a bit of extra assistance, and a very positive personality. Would love to have her again or go on another tour that she does. Recommend going in the morning if in the summertime. Crowds really pile in midday and makes it a lot more tedious

Guide was great and...
