The team was wonderful to book and work with. It was easy to communicate in preparation and the guide made navigating the Eiffel Tower easy! A magical and memorable experiences for our whole family, which I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an easy yet informative way to take an elevator tour of the Eiffel Tower. We added the summit, which made it extra special.

    Very fun experience, they made it work with the heat and we ended up having to switch times but all went well. Our guide, Prince, was very nice and knowledgeable on landmarks.

    Guided Eiffel Tower Worst Viator Tour

    Sue_B, Jul 2026
    Worst tour ever booked with Viator. Disorganized, did not get summit tickets, guide disappeared from site. They offered to refund 15 euros which was the additional amount for the summit, which is an absolute joke because that cannot alone get you new summit tickets. Ruined the highlight of my Paris trip. Do not book this tour with Viator. Rather buy your tickets directly from the official site as there is zero preferential treatment for tourists who prebook tickets and you will at least be guaranteed a slot. Here the guide who does not even have a list of the names of people with the tickets they bought just hands out tickets to whoever asked for it. Totally unprofessional.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Hi mam , first of all we are so sorry for your experience, your tour was on the 12th which was the day the tower closed early due to the heatwave so all programs changed at the tower and they tower it self was disorganized . You paid for second floor tickets and on site added 15€ for upgrade and since you did not get to do the upgrade we resend the 15€ . We can't give you what you did not pay for . As you see , we have only had good reviews but due to the heatwave we are ready to take responsibility of our customers unsatisfied experience

    Disappointed

    alicedemarco2012, Jul 2026
    I was very disappointed with this Eiffel Tower tour. The experience was extremely disorganized from the beginning. We waited nearly two hours just to enter the Eiffel Tower, with very little communication about what was happening. The guide seemed unsure of where to go or how to manage the group, which made the long wait even more frustrating. I also contacted the tour company afterward to express my concerns, but they offered no meaningful assistance or resolution. Overall, this was a poor experience and not what I expected from a guided tour. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company based on our experience.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Dear guest we will like to apologize for this , your tour was on the 12 and it was a crazy day for every single company on the tower . We had little or no information due to the heat wave in Paris , the tower closed and everything became very disorganized due to the crowd inside . We are so sorry and if we knew it will cost us our company reputation we would have cancel the tour . We are known for our good quality tours but this day was disorganized and we apologize. Thanks

    Booked the Eiffel Tower tour for 2pm, got emailed at 11am to inform me time had changed to 12pm as Tower was closing early, rushed around and paid money for taxi only to get there at 12pm and be told it was cancelled. I now have a sad little boy and it made for a very stressful day. On top of it a I haven’t been informed of a refund.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Hi mam so sorry for this experience but we will like if you leave a review it should be accurate as the tower closed on everyone due to the heatwave and you were sent a message informing you of the situation, you said you could make it for the 12am tour and was even late and it was not our fault as the tower had to cancel all tours due to the heatwave and moreover , you where refunded since yesterday. PLEASE GIVE ACCURATE REVIEW OF YOUR EXPERIENCE IF THE TOWER IS CLOSED DUE TO A CLIMATE CHANGE WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING APART FROM REFUND

    Fun in Paris

    Desire_M, May 2026
    We met our guide- Carmel- just outside one of the gates- she was so helpful in getting us through all the points and telling us some very informative information regarding the history of the Eiffel Tower which we would never have had if we didn’t book a tour. It was easy and we could just enjoy ourselves and we didn’t have to stress about where to go and what to do. So would highly recommend tour.

    Karin_B, Jul 2026
    Guide ist nicht zum Meeting Point erschienen. Tour wurde kurzfristig Nachfrage abgesagt. Wäre die Tour früher abgesagt worden, hätten wir die Möglichkeit gehabt, nochmals Tickets zu kaufen. Sehr enttäuschendes Erlebnis. Ich fordere eine vollständige Rückerstattung der Kosten.
