Mattieu was very kind and...

Denise, Apr 2026

Mattieu was very kind and knowledgeable. No issues. We got the cruise option - you can use for anytime after your Eiffel Tower trip (time/date), which was super convenient.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Denise, Thank you very much for your comment. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience, as well as the guide, and that everything went perfectly during the tour. Your feedback is very valuable, as it can help other curtomers better understand the experience and make a decision. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Paris City Vision

Wouldn’t call this a tour!

Dawn_C, Jan 2026

If you are looking for a detailed tour with information about the Eiffel Tower this is not the tour to book. While it was nice have the guide walk us directly up to the entry point, and tell us where to catch the boat that was all he did. It seemed like a lot of money for what we got. Also our guide told us that the boats left every half hour and that was false. It was more like every hour. The boat tour portion was great! I would suggest booking a cheaper tour with a guide that is more knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Dawn, Thank you very much for taking the time to write to us. We are sorry that the experience was not entirely to your satisfaction. We would like to point out that you had access to an audio guide through our downloadable mobile app, as clearli indicated on our website. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the cruise. We hope to welcome yopu again and that we can regain your trust in us. Kin regards,

Nice

Everything went smoothly and Nina was knowledgeable and a pleasure. I’m not sure it saved a lot of time in this case because you only ‘skip’ the initial line. The Tower itself was great!
