Wonderful way to see and learn about the Eiffel Tower!
Rachid_B

We are a family with a 6 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. It was an amazing way to see and learn about the Eiffel Tower without having to wait in the long lines, which with little ones is always a great thing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and so nice. 🥰

The best bit is you approach the Eiffel Tower by foot and feel the monument grow on you, great Guide, lots of historical architectural facts. It is an amazing experience. Keep time to visit the top galleries too, early worth it. One more tick on Wish List and with great guidance too.

We loved this tour. My husband was a little skeptical and this was his first tour with Viator. The skip the line piece was worth every penny. It saved us a ton of time and going in as a group had a separate entrance. The other lines were very long. We didn't opt to add on once we were on the tower. We plan to save the view from the top for another visit. The history and details was just perfect.

Jeffrey B
, May 2016
The Eiffel Tower tour was wonderful! Our tour guide, Meva was great! She knew so much history about the tower and the surrounding area. She pointed out many interesting sights from the tower to see while we were in Paris. I highly recommend paying the extra euros at the tower to be able to go all the way to the top. What a fantastic view! It is also a fun place to eat. It was well worth the money for the tour to be able to skip the long entry line and learn so much about the Eiffel Tower and surrounding area being on a tour. Be sure to look at the Eiffel Tower an night when it is dark. The sparkling lights are fabulous!

We loved the Eiffel Tour!!! And every detail explained in the overview of the tour was accurate. We were very impressed with the specific travel directions, the location for meeting, the professionalism of the staff and knowledge of the tour guide! Most French people spoke English, and when they didn't they tried to communicate with you.

Nicole_P
, Apr. 2016
It was a good tour that got you up the tower and then the guide gave you commentary on each side of the tower. We did the late tour that meant we were on the tower at sunset and for the first twinkling of the Eiffel Tower lights. It was lovely but freezing. Rug up if you're going in the cold as it's windy and probably quite a few degrees colder than ground level.

Sydney K

Great tour. I highly recommend it. We skipped the line as promised and toured the second level. Then we purchased the summit tickets after our tour ended, so we got the full experience. Everyone from the staff behind the counter to our tour guide were super friendly and professional. If we had more time in Paris, I would have scheduled a walking tour with this company.

Never could find the local provider even with GPS. Very difficult to find if you don't know the area and street intersections. GPS said I was there but I was in the middle of the park that leads up to the Eiffel Tower. There was nowhere else to go nor were there any street signs.
