We loved being able to get it the top of the Eiffel Tower! It was hard to find the starting point of the tour and almost missed it. Should have better instructions that it’s outside the gates of the Eiffel Tower. Totally worth the money tho!!
The tour started great lots of information about the Eiffel Tower but half of the tour ended up being information about Paris. The tour guide ended up talking about all the large buildings in Paris. What they were used for and what they are used for now (I booked a separate tour for that). First and last time I use this tour company.
The tour was through Blue Fox who responded quickly to our emails prior to our departure to Paris. We had no trouble finding the meet up place and it was truly a very short walk to the tour. We zipped past the very very long ticket lines to security which moved quickly. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passed the time in the security line giving us the history of the tower. Up on the second floor he pointed out landmarks on the various sides telling us a bit about them. We did go to the summit which was an interesting perspective of the city. I would not recommend this for small children as the lines for the elevators to come snowboard quite long.
The tour guide was polite and on time and kept to her script. The information provided was mediocre at best with little information about the Eiffel Tower itself. Our voucher didn't indicate the meeting site and after going through security for 40 mins we contacted the tour operator, Blue Fox Tours, who informed us that the meeting point was approx 1 block away and we would have to exit the secured area and re-enter with the tour group. The security lines at the Eiffel Tour are extremely long and there is no skip the line. I inquired if it was possible to meet the group in the secured area and was met with sarcasm and how busy her day was since she had to cancel multiple tours of Notre Dame which caught fire 2 days prior. After agreeing to her term we met up with the group and found out that there were 4 other families in our tour and one of whom was in the security line with us. It seems as if all the families had difficulty finding the meeting location, which was not listed on any of their vouchers, and where met with hostility by the Blue Fox Tour owner as I experienced. I feel that Blue Fox Tours need to improve a great deal, specifically the owner.
We selected this tour because is was skip the line and tower access. If we had it to do again, I would buy a ticket for skip the line and tower access, without the tour guide. Nothing against the guide, but we just wanted to go to the top. She helped us but I didn’t want to listen. When we broke away, there were only 3 left of the 14 or so who started with her. As far as I was concerned, the tour could have ended at the second level. She did a great job (and humorous) getting us to the second level.
Meet was easy. Rode right to second flr. And line was not long at all to summit with great views with champagne as a reward . Day was sunny!
What a great experience and being able to walk right in was great. Learned so much and enjoyed so much the ability to go to the top and still have as much time as we wanted there,
Dana did a wonderful English job. This is the only way to see the Eiffel Tower. Skipping the long line and her history was perfect. Great communication skills and always smiling and happy.
This was a great tour! Our tour guide, Benjamin was friendly and knowledgeable. He kept the group engaged in the tour the whole time. We learned about the history of the tower and the city. The views were spectacular! We went at night and saw the whole city lit up, absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Absolutely loved our tour and the tour guide. She was very informative and had a good sense of humor! Make sure to bring a jacket or sweater, because it gets cold and windy! The view was spectacular and you could see for miles!
Martini of Blue Fox Tour contracted by Viator was fabulous. She met us and we walked right to the Eiffel Tower without a problem and it was crowed. She was very informative and fun. I recommend this tour.
We went all the way to the top and enjoyed the views. We would not have been able to get in if we had not booked this tour. The guide was informational and gave us the option to leave the tour and enjoy the views by ourselves.
this was a great experience. Easy meeting location that was a quick walk to security for the eiffel tower. We wer able to go through the group entrance, and then straight into an elevator. Great experience!
Well worth the money. Our tour guide was wonderful, very knowledgeable, spoke many languages and was on time. We did wait in a small line, but NOTHING compared to the line for tickets. I'd love to do this tour again.
Pay attention to the voucher that tells you to meet your guide at a building, not at The Eiffel Tower itself. That building is about a block from the Eiffel Tower. With all the security around the tower, if you come to the tower from the wrong direction, it can be hard to get to the address where you meet your guide. In addition, the voucher advises arriving a few minutes before the tour start time and states that the guide will always be there five minutes ahead of time. This was not the case for us guide actually arrived a few minutes late.
That all being said, our guide was delightful sadly, I can't recall her name and did a nice job sharing with us the history of the Eiffel Tower, as well as the points of interest around the tower. The tower wasn't terribly crowded on this day, so the skip the line advantage was not as great as it usually is but was still a benefit. Overall, this was a pretty good experience.
I unfortunately went up through a horrific rain storm, but I know with sunshine this would have been stunning. Although tours are rain or shine, I do think discounts should be available for horrific weather conditions. This is the only unfortunate part.
There are two very long lines for the tower and with this tour we jumped to the front of both! SO worth the extra money. We also enjoyed learning some interesting historical facts about the tower from our friendly guide. I highly recommend this if you are traveling with young children as they will want to go to the Summit but you don't want to deal with the lines!
This was a very good tour, with a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
The tour was cancelled as there was ice on the upper decks. Viator informed me via email and 2 messages on my mobile on the day of the tour. I would still recommend this tour as Viator not only kept me informed but also have set in motion my refund.
This tour was well taking. We thoroughly enjoyed experiencing all levels of the Eiffel Tower and our tour guide Manon was funny and kind. Meeting point was just as described on the ticket--the side of a building rather than an office, but it was easy to find. Views from the summit were amazing, and you should know that you will have to wait in another line for this, but it didn't take too long. Along the way, do not talk to anyone approaching you with a clipboard and asking ANY questions whatsoever. Ignore these people as they are scammers and move quickly along.
This is our second time using Viator for the Eiffel Tower Skip the line/Summit Access. You MUST, MUST plan ahead and get tickets for the Eiffel Tower! Do not even think of trying to buy tickets the day of!! We met our guide just a few blocks away from the Eiffel Tower and she gave each of us a ticket. Please be aware that the security at the Eiffel Tower is very tight. You will not be allowed past Security with a backpack or a large handbag....and your handbag will be looked into. Our guide asked if anyone had any knives on them. One person had a type of Swiss knife. He had to leave it on a ledge of the building where we met and come back after the tour to retrieve it! The guide was excellent as she led us to the Eiffel Tower with a sense of humor and stories of Paris in general. We breezed past a crazy long line, went through security and went up on the elevator to the 2nd level of the tower. On this level, our guide gave us the history of the architect who built the tower, explaining it was built for the 1889 Worlds Fair and the Parisians strongly protested it and disliked it! Viator has some of the best guides! The guide walked around the entire 2nd level giving us the background of the tower through WW2 as well as pointing out historic Parisian city landmarks stretching out below us. From the 2nd floor, our guide directed us the elevator which took us to the Summit which is the very top of the Eiffel Tower near the antennae. Please note that the guide is with you on the 2nd level only and does not go with you to the Summit. The top of the Eiffel Tower is ALWAYS very windy but offers an incredible panoramic vista of the city and environs of Paris. Simply beautiful!! There is a small apartment at the summit that Gustave Eiffel used to stay at and entertain contemporaries at such as Thomas Edison. Also, should you need, there is a no charge men and women toilet facilities. We were there at around 6:30-7:00 pm and were treated to the thousands of twinkling lights being turned on for the evening! The Eiffel Tower is just stunning when lit up at night! We had a great tour guide and great visit to the Eiffel Tower.
Fun and informative tour, and scary ride from the second level to the top level, but well worth it!!
The tour was fantastic. Cecelia was so funny and a fount of knowledge. She made the freezing weather bearable!! Would definitely recommend to others.
Great tour, easy access to the tower and lovely guide.
Great way to see the Eiffel Tower and hear all about Paris' awesome history. Have used Viator twice now for this tour and haven't been disappointed. Tour guide was on on time, informative and spoke English very well. Loved it!!!
Skipping the line was great and worth the extra money to Viator. Guide was pleasant, funny and helpful. Unfortunately it was raining and foggy so the view from the top wasn't great.
Worth every penny ! Our guide was fun pleasant and full of information about the tower and the city overall!
We had the cutest brightest young woman that did our tour. So sorry I can't remember her name but she was excellent and made the tour lots of fun. She was French but spoke perfect English with a mid west accent.
This tour was great. The girl who lead it was knowledgeable and friendly. Voucher was easy to understand and we found the meeting place very simple to find. Was definitely worth getting the summit ticket all in 1 package. Highly reccomend.
Seeing the Eiffel Tower at night was amazing and so beautiful! Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Paris and the Eiffel Tower's history and it was very interesting! My only caveat, it gets very windy and cold up there at night, so be prepared!
