A little disorganized but good experience overall

This is a great way to get top of the tower tickets that are otherwise sold out the day of your visit. It’s also has an option to get the sienne River cruise, which the tickets will be emailed to you separately by the tour operator and are valid for one year so you don’t have to use it the day of your Eiffel Tower tour. This was all great, Now our tour was a little disorganized. To be fair, it started with a thunderstorm, so I think the tour operators were a little frazzled. Our guide annoyed the security guard and then he let other people ahead of us during the pouring rain. She basically had to then beg him to let us through. The rain stopped. We had to go up a lot of flight of stairs, which is typical for the Eiffel Tower although I know there is an accessibility elevator that was never mentioned. It was all fine but once you get to the first floor, your guide gives you a history on the Eiffel Tower. This was interesting… Except it went on for nearly 50 minutes. The second floor and the top of the tower you explore on your own, so that’s all great but before we could do that, our guide was very pushy about leaving her a review on Google and making you scan a QR code. It was all kind of odd. During this the sienne river cruise tickets were sent to my email. We didn’t have time to go that day so we went two days later, which was great. Instructions were easy to follow to find the location for the cruise on your own.

Eiffel Tower

Ruth was very clear with instructions and easy to listen to. Unfortunately top deck was closed due to the hot weather but still a great experience.
