Good experience with useful information about various spots in Paris! The view from the top is breathtaking! The area is safe and well-maintained.
Well organized !!! Solid info … Catalina was great …. Smooth ticket pickup …. Right down the street from the Tower
Great experience from start to finish! Our guide was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our time atop the tour
Really good only went to second floor but tour guide was great and easy entry.
Great views
I recommend a trip with guide to give the Eiffel Tower history.
I ended up getting the wrong tour. So I had to pay an extra $20. US. I would like my money back since I paid a lot more than my friends

Dear customer,
We are sorry to see that you did not fully appreciate your experience with us.
We would need more details about your booking to see what happened.
According your explanations, you might have booked for the second floor and paid for the upgrade to the top, which is the right price.
We remain at your disposal for any questions.
Kind regards
Awesome experience to see the enginnering Marvel... Built in days when the knowledge was not to commonly available. He dared to build something like this and of course minted money for his expertise. The tour guide.... Named miss Sol was very good and explained allinute details with great enthusiasm. The tour really bacame lively due to her presentation skill.
Wonderful experience! Surreal to be underneath and then at the very top of the Eiffel Tower! Still can’t believe I was there
Katharina did a great job of making it fun and engaging. Would recommend for families, friends or couples.
Interesting facts about the Eiffel and definitely nice to have the lift. Too many stairs! Only complaint was the tour part was slightly long.
If you get Sal as a guide, you are lucky! He was great explaining the process, the history of the tower and some sightseeing tips!
The travel agency lady wasn’t very nice. A baby was crying continuously while waiting. The tourist guy didn’t go with us till upstairs.
Our tour guide Abi was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She shared some very interesting info about the Eiffel Tower We enjoyed our tour very much
Our guide was very informative and engaging! He gave us a lot of helpful tips about best views of the Tower and pointed out all the landmarks and gave us the history of the Tower keeping us all interested! It was very easy to check in with very clear instructions and directions helping us to get there on time. A very good way to make the most of our Eiffel Tower experience!
On May 3rd, I booked the "summit option" for a tour of the Eiffel Tower. The tour was canceled due to a terrible storm. After the cancellation, the guide assured us that the agency would immediately refund our ticket price. Today, as I write this review, is October 2nd and despite my urgent request through the helpdesk I have not yet received payment.

Dear customer,
We thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear that you were not able to visit the top floor of the tower.
We confirm that we partially refund all the customers when the top is closed. Please send us an email so we can check on your booking.
Kind regards
We enjoyed our time at the Eiffel Tower. We learned about how the tower is repainted and has been different colors in the past.
If I could give zero stars I would. 100 percent do not recommend. Not only is this tour non-refundable, but they will not work with you at all. Due to illness, I had to delay my flight to Paris by one day, and could not make it there in time for the tour. I reached out to both Viator and to the local tour guide to try to change either the day or the time, but no one would even try to help.

Dear customer,
We are very sorry for this experience.
We try to be as clear as possible in our cancellation policy, accessible before you book .Our sales are final, we cannot reschedule your booking once you make it or refund it since the tickets are not flexible.
We hope you will be visiting Paris in the future and we would be glad to welcome you.
The guide was great but the wait to go up and back down was terrible. This tour I wouldn’t recommend
Guide was knowledgeable and loved the history she gave. It was great to see the Eiffel Tower up close
This was educational, interactive & efficient. We loved this tour & enjoyed our time at each level. Gorgeous views & plenty of time for independent exploration.
Catalina was an excellent hostess and provided us with very interesting information about the history of the Eiffel Tower.
Experience is sold as skip the line to summit. We were just left in the first floor, the line was impossible to get to the summit. We paid more than $100 per ticket and the tixket was really $36.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear customer,
We thank you for your feedback. However, as explained on the product, the skip the line does not exist for the top floor.
You have a reserved time ticket until the 2nd floor, where the guide leaves the group so you can enjoy on your own.
We are sorry to hear that you did not fully appreciate your visit but we remain at your disposal if you would like to talk about it.
Kind regards
Easy access to the Eiffel Tower. Did not stand in the long line we saw going in. When on vacation that means not much wasting of your time.
Only booked this via Viator because it was the only option of getting to the summit. The first part of the tour was hook but when we were released from our guide they had decided to close access to the summit
Beautiful Day! Museum de Louvre got picture of Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. Skip the line well worth it !
Very bad experience, it was raining a lot on the day and when we reached the location there was a line and we did not have the tour. there was no service provided. Please refund our money back.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Dear customer,
We thank you for your feedback.
It happens that there is a line at the agency, but all the people waiting are part of the same group.
Before closing the check-in, we check if every one has the entrance ticket.
We are sorry but you probably miss the check-in time if you could not participate in the tour. We remain at your disposal if you would like to talk about it in private.
Kind regards
It’s was amazing. So fast getting through with our tour guide “Kenny” . She was so so nice and so informative. Highly recommend.
Sarah was an awesome guide. She was very friendly and informative. Getting through the line to the lift was very smooth.
We were extremely disappointed with this Eiffel Tower tour. The guide assigned to us did not speak proper English, provided almost no information, and spoke so softly we could barely hear her. Unlike other guides from the same company who were informative and engaging, this one simply escorted us to the second floor and left us with no meaningful commentary. We paid over $600 for summit access, but the experience felt like a complete waste. This is not the level of service we expected. I strongly advise others to avoid this tour through Viator.

We hope that you will give us another chance for the future and we remain at your disposal if you have any questions.
Thank you for helping us get to do this tour! We were late due to not knowing the area and the gala n the office helped us get our tickets and on to our tour guide.
Our tour guide Bruno was amazing! He was very knowledgeable on the history of the Eiffel Tower and made our experience great! Highly recommend going to the summit, the view was spectacular!
