Great experience. The... - Great experience. The guide did a a good job pointing out landmarks and talking about the history. It didn’t seem like 669 steps. Since we went at 6:30 p.m. , e saw a beautiful sunset and the twinkling lights.

Eiffel Tower with tour guide Henry - The steps were a bit difficult but worth the climb. Henry was great and informative. People tried to get in front of our group and he made sure we stayed together. Fantastic views !

Unforgettable Paris Evening—Tower & River Magic - Climbing the Eiffel Tower with "The Tour Guy" was a thrilling experience! Our guide Henry was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the group engaged with fascinating stories. The climb was a workout but reaching the summit and soaking in the panoramic views of Paris was absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for an unforgettable adventure!

Worth the climb - Great tour! Be prepared for climbing 669 steps to the 2nd level before taking the elevator to the top. Our guide Henry gave us plenty of time to walk and rest in between the two levels. During breaks he gave us a lot of history about the tower. We did the 6:30 tour in order to see the sunset. Highly recommend!

Book directly yourself - Buy your tickets on the day yourself and save money as you have to queue up anyway! Everyone in the line queuing to get tickets for the Eiffel Tower could hear the guide without having to pay for the guide.
