Highlights
  • Eiffel Tower - Get your steps in to the second floor before taking the elevator to the summit for epic Paris views

After meeting your guide near the Eiffel Tower, you’ll head for the ticketing desk and pass through the security area to begin your climb. Your first stop is the first floor (of course!), where the crowds are usually smaller and you can enjoy a unique perspective of the Paris skyline, and walk on the 188-foot-high glass floor. Next, you’ll continue your climb to the popular second floor for an even higher viewpoint. Along the way your guide will inform and entertain with stories of the city’s history and the tower’s construction.

The cherry on top is a trip to the Eiffel Tower summit, where you’ll have an unmatched view of the city from a staggering 906 feet (276 meters)! You’ll be given access to the summit elevator for this final part of the tour, and you’re free to stay at the top for as long as you please.

The tour operator did not... - The tour operator did not show up. We along with many others were left waiting and wondering where our guide was. We called, texted, emailed and did not recieve responses for an hour aside from some gentleman that was woken from sleep to say it was his day off and I would have to call his collegue. We also had recieved an email a few days earlier saying the time had been changed and then a confirmation text the day before confirming that time change but we were then told no it was the original time??? Turns out the Eiffel Tower was temporarily closed due to a maintenace issue, however, the guide was not there to inform us of this and I don't think he would have been there had the Eiffel Tower been open. They were also not able to reschedule us during our visit. I understand they couldn't help the closure but the response was very unprofessional overall!

Horrible Tour guide. I feel cheated - This was not a good experience. The tour guide lied to us and said the summit was closed when it wasn’t. He did not climb with us. He only walked us to pick up our tickets, explaining the history of the Eiffel And abandoned us. He said he will give us a refund of the ticket price between the second floor, and the summit after the tour was over, but we never saw him after we climbed to the 2nd floor. I will be calling the company to make a complaint and ask for my refund I do not recommend booking through this company for the Eiffel Tower You are better off buying your tickets directly at the tower. I would have spent €15 per person which would have been the 60 euros altogether compared to 218 I spent. I do not recommend.
