Christine_A, May 2026
It was fantastic to see the city from the second floor! Plenty of room to walk around and view the sites. Our guide up was great, a little fast but very knowledgeable about the tour. Worth the time.

If you are planning a visit to the Eiffel Tower, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Sebastian.
Coming all the way from Argentina, Sebastian brings a vibrant energy and a unique flair to the experience that you just won't get from a guidebook. Here is why our tour was the highlight of our Paris trip:
• Expert Precision: Sebastian was incredibly precise with his timing and navigation, ensuring we navigated the crowds effortlessly.
• Hilarious Delivery: He has a fantastic sense of humor! He kept us laughing the entire time, making the history of the "Iron Lady" come alive through witty anecdotes.
• Wealth of Knowledge: He provided all the information we could possibly need—from the engineering secrets of Gustave Eiffel to the best spots for that perfect photo.
It didn't feel like a standard lecture; it felt like exploring the tower with a very knowledgeable (and funny) friend. Highly recommended! Merci, gracias, Sebastian! You made our day in Paris truly special.

Great tour guide. Very informative. I would still recommend logging in a getting your own free tickets for the entrance to Notre Dame so you don’t have to wait in the long line.

There was not enough time to complete both the Summit experience and the cruise before the last allowed sailing time so we had to miss going to the Summit and missed the fly bridge on Level 1. There were not enough seats on the boat to accommodate the number of passengers on board. Despite efforts to do so, I have not been able to contact the tour operator for a response. Their phone number does not seem to connect and the chat feature goes unanswered. Additionally, while on the lift going from the ground to Floor 2, two of the guides were trading stories about annoying past clients. Very unprofessional.

Dear customer,
We thank you for your feedback. When you book for the cruise, the tickets can be used on any day at any time. We are sorry if you could not visit the top of the Eiffel Tower.
We remain at your disposal if you have any questions.
Kind regards

This was a great way to see the Eiffel Tower and Seine cruise since we were not able to get tickets online directly through the official website. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, the company was helpful, and everything was prompt. We were given the option to upgrade to a more “posh” boat when we checked in that included snacks and/or champagne for $20 euros and we did. Highly recommend!

We booked this through our travel agent as she had previous good experiences with this particular itinerary.

Don't take any pen knives with you. They will be confiscated. Fantastic view from the top but very crowded. At the snack shop on the 1st floor ( the one with the glass floor) you can buy a drink and get the reusable plastic cup ( with image of the Eiffel Tower on it) to take home. They tack on 2 euros for the cup. For the top of the tower tour you can stay as long as you want at the top and at each level coming down. At the end of the tour there was a boat ride on the Seine. We went to the wrong boat at first. There is a boat that stays docked and serves lunch. That's not the one. Your boat will be at docking station 3. It goes to the Notre Dame area before turning around.

Fantastic views, nice tour guide. Did this on my third day in Paris so it was nice to see the sites.
MaryAnn_E, Jul 2025
The summit is closed due to a technical problem although it was not the fault of the tour company
It is still disappointing
Still waiting for a refund
Linda_G, Jul 2025

Our guide Alexandre ensured that we made the most out our Eiffel Tower experience. He pointed out Paris monuments and historic buildings from our vantage location and provided us with background information.
Maria_R, Jun 2025
A perfect blend of historical context as well as freedom and time to explore on our own. Perfect for our family.
John_U, Jun 2025
Awesome beautiful amazing! A wonderful marvel of engineering and amazement. Our guide Leonardo was a fantastic guide and historian of the history of the tower.

We had a wonderful time with my family easy to understand easy to navigate highly recommend recommended
Gail_N, Jul 2024
We enjoyed it immensely. This was a must see up close and personal for my visit and it did not disappoint. Our tour guide Danyel was terrific. Very nice, attentive and well informed.
Kim_T, Jul 2024
Jacopy was great! Had a lot of information and was very funny! Was very easy to get the tickets and escorted to Eiffel Tower.
Ruth_T, Jul 2024
Zak was an amazing guide. He knew everything and has a great sense of humor. Very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this tour!👏 The Eiffel Tower is an experience not to be missed and going to the very top was quite a highlight. Seeing the sparkling lights was a bonus. The river cruise was beautiful at night with all the lights.
Schuyler_A, Jun 2024
This tour was extremely helpful in getting to the Eiffel Tower. Our guides name started with a G, but I can’t quite remember his exact same. He was extremely kind and helpful to everyone. Once you get to the second level, you have to stand in line for a verrrrry long time for the summit, but that isn’t the fault of the tour company, but just an FYI for those planning to come. I would absolutely recommend this tour as they handle all the “little details” for you and you’re able to skip a HUGE portion of the lines. The only line that we have to wait in is for the summit.
Mary, Jun 2024
Sebastian (Argentina) was lovely and informative. He had a good sense of humour. The tour was on time and you get to see the Effifal Tower at your own pace and the catch the boat cruise once your done. The boat goes every half an hour which was also great and convenient.
Ron_G, Jun 2024
We had a very informative walk to the tower with Daniel our guide. He was very personable & knowledgeable.
Kristin_M, Jun 2024
Our guide Antony shared lots of history of the tower and Paris itself. It was nice to have someone lead us through the process instead of trying to figure it all out and buy tickets
Angela_S, May 2024
They never showed up to meet us. No communication! We emailed and waited 30 minutes. Rip off! Do not book!
Babu_T, May 2024
Too Exclusive, waste of money. Never purchase any ticket nonrefundable. Plenty of Iow rate tickets were available. Never use this company. I booked my mistake, four persons $540. I could get the ticket from same company for $180. When I contacted viator, the told the ticket was nonrefundable.
Thomas_D, May 2024
Very good! Tour guide provided just the right amount of information and presented the tour in a well manner.
Jagannath_P, Apr 2024
Convenient way to pre-book timed tickets for summit access and the cruise. Helps avoid waiting in line.
George_D, Apr 2024
Great experience and the tour guide, Santiago, was extremely knowledgeable, personable and helpful.
Overall, the tour was prompt and there were no hidden surprises. Great value.
Andre_H, Nov 2023
Great guide, great experience. Lovely trip, to be remembered. Do the glass floor, if you dare! Relaxing cruise, afterwards.
