We were not on the list provided by Viator to the provider for the time we had vouchers so we could not participate
Virginia_R, Apr 2026
Guide was very knowledgeable and kept everyone on pace. We went at a good time because most people were on spring break outside of Paris…. Normally this is very crowded and you feel like a group of sheep but not this time.
David_S, Apr 2026
We booked a guided tour of the Eiffel Tower primarily for ease of access, and in that respect, it delivered, we were able to reach the top without issue, which was ultimately our main objective.
Our guide, Bruno, was pleasant, patient, and accommodating throughout. He made a genuine effort to engage the group and was more than willing to answer questions along the way. That said, the information provided was fairly standard and largely consistent with what one could readily find through a basic search.
Overall, this is a solid option if your priority is a smooth and structured path to the summit, with the added benefit of a friendly guide. If you are seeking a deeply informative or uniquely insightful historical experience, this tour may feel somewhat limited, but it accomplishes the core goal effectively.
Stacy_G, Apr 2026
Meeting spot is a little far from the Eiffel Tower. So there is lots of walking before the tower. You also have to show your ticket 3 times and have your bag scanned twice.
Douglas_W, Apr 2026
The views from the 3rd level Eiffel Tower are amazing. The convenience of skipping the line was worth the price.
Laura_K, Apr 2026
What an impressive structure, fantastic to see. Great experience going up right to the top. Restaurant, shop, glass floor, bridge across to scare yourself! Incredible views and great fun coming down the stairs. The only thing I would say is it was very expensive for what it was, especially the tour. The lady was brilliant, but there wasn’t a huge amount to tell us! I paid it though so can’t really complain.
Erin_D, Apr 2026
Everything was great and it was easy to find the location point. The guide was wonderful! Much easier than if we tried to enter on our own.
Julie_L, Apr 2026
This was not a guided tour and they only walked us over to under the Eiffel Tower and talked to us for about 15 minutes before sending us on our way to go up into the tower ourselves. Very misleading and disappointing for the money spent.
dean_m, Apr 2026
We skipped a lot of the queue because of our guide Leo who was very informative about the tower
Level 2 was great probably wouldn’t go to the top if I had my time again
Doris_R, Apr 2026
Visiting with a tour group makes this stop easy and hassle-free. We actually missed our tour the first day and the tour company kindly rescheduled us for the following day. We had Sol - couldn’t have been a better guide. She organized us, gave a wonderful background in the ET and gave good advice about how to manage the choices to go to the top and back down again. The meeting point is near lots of restaurants so we had a quick meal before going on the tour. The whole experience was well-organized and efficient. This tour is well worth the ticket price as we overheard others in line talking about their 2-hour wait. We went right to the start of the line and were admitted quickly. Thank you Sol for the great tour!
William_C, Apr 2026
This is the iconic symbol of France But our guide Sebastian taught us all much more about the history, architecture, construction, sucess and love of Eiffel and his tower for France and Paris. Beautiful views combined with a great background story delivered by a well spoken and knowledgeable guide really brought our visit to life.
John_C, Apr 2026
It was very helpful having our guide walk us to the correct lines, through security and two the second floor. He was very entertaining and helpful. Ge also gave us all the information needed to move to the summit. Great experience!
Virginia_B, Apr 2026
A police escort closed the road a we were 10 minutes late to the pick up- called the emergency number that was a voice message from the phone operator - no call to ask where we were and how to catch up with the group - pathetic service and will be requesting a full refund.

The tour of the tower was manged and guided by Emily. She was very knowledgeable about the towers history and readily accepted and answered questions. She was extremely personable, with both a smile and enthusiasm. Great job.
DeniseandTim_K, Apr 2026
What a great and fun experience! We did go all the way to the top, and well worth it! It is very crowded, and they pack you into the elevators way too close in this era of so many respiratory diseases spreading. That’s the reason for 4 stars. A great tour and tour guide, and a memorable experience. Great to walk around the area afterwards, enjoy a meal at one of the many spots nearby, and enjoy the beautiful flowers and trees. We found Paris to be exceptionally clean, too!
Stephen_D, Apr 2026
Bruno, our guide, was excellent! Very impressed. Professional and knowledgable - he did not disappoint!
Shelley_G, Apr 2026
Meeting point was nearby. Guide to tower, Sebastian from Argentina was terrific, providing a great history lesson and getting the group to the second floor. Excellent directions for completing the rest of the tour on our own.
Catherine_G, Apr 2026
We were excited to see Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower and could not get tickets to the summit without purchasing them through a tour company. Our guide did a wonderful job helping us navigate the crowds while sharing some facts about the iconic landmark. After arriving on the 2nd floor, our guide left us to wait at the lifts to the summit. We were happy to reach the top, but it was an expensive way to get there. Next time we will plan ahead and buy tickets on our own!
Linda_H, Apr 2026
The meeting place was easy to find. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The tower is amazing to see especially at night
Jill_L, Apr 2026
There weren't crowds on the cloudy day we visited so our entry was quick and easy. Matius was a great guide and told us interesting stories about the development of the tower.
Gerard_W, Mar 2026
Great experience only thing I say is remember to go to the place on the email before you visit the eiffel tower and it meeting point the tour guide knew everything he was brilliant his name was Leon loves his job
Renee_T, Mar 2026
Emilio was on time and friendly. He shared some quick interesting facts about the Eiffel Tower. The tour of the tower itself was only guided up to the second floor. We had to take the elevator up on our own to the summit. But with our summit tickets we skipped the line and made it to the top much faster. Paris is simply gorgeous from the top of the Eiffel Tower. I would recommend the tour. I wish that there was an audio guide or pamphlet that you could read on your own to learn more about the history. At times it was hard to hear Emilio with the crowd. A mega phone would help to project the voices of the guides.
Kimberly_H, Mar 2026
Mathias was a great guide and provided us with loads of information about the Eiffel Tower. His sense of humor and enthusiasm made the tour fun!
Michelle_T, Mar 2026
Sebastian from Argentina was a great tour guide. Informative, funny, good tour. Would reccomend going.
Beth_N, Mar 2026
Be prepared for overcrowding . Very high winds &rain made experience disappointing. Camilo did a good job of getting information to group
Myria_B, Mar 2026
Our Eiffle tour guide Sol was very helpful and knowledgeable. Our experience was wonderful and memorable.
David_c, Mar 2026
Well organised and informative trip. Sol our tour guide was perfect, being cheerful and welcoming. A short walk from the office to the tower and even though two members of the group had reduced mobility she noticed and made necessary changes.
Pamela, Mar 2026
It is very important to be on time, but having said that everybody at the registration desk was perfect and our guide Sydney was incredible. He was smart. He was conscientious and he was patient.
