Our wonderful guide got us right in. Took us to the third floor elevator and told which restrooms were the best to use. The Seine cruise with Bateau Boats was informational.
Maud was very informative and helpful The experience was wonderful Unlike the tour to Notre Dame yesterday which at best was a rip off
Our guide was amazing! The directions on where to meet were ok but the actual office could be better marked. I would recommend this tour 100%
Guide was great and informative. I do however think it’s easy enough to pay there and not book the tour. Not a reflection on the guide just don’t think it’s necessary to book through a group. You can get tickets and access to the top for less money at the tower
A must-do. Magnificent Eiffel Tower. Splendid views. Our guide Mathilde is very kind and knowledgeable.
Bonjour, Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que, malgré la chaleur, vous ayez passé un excellent moment et pu profiter des magnifiques vues offertes par la Tour Eiffel. Nous sommes également heureux d'apprendre que Mathilde a contribué à rendre votre expérience agréable grâce à sa gentillesse et à son professionnalisme. Nous ne manquerons pas de lui transmettre vos compliments. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d'une prochaine visite à Paris ! Bien cordialement, L’équipe Paris TRIP
The Eiffel Tower tour was fantastic! However, if you are booking the river cruise with it be aware of horrendously long queues! When we got there the queue was nearly a kilometre long and it didn’t matter that we booked in advance as we still had to stand there for an hour and a half before we got on! You can’t book a time slot for the cruise so had to wait with general admission. The only good thing about booking in advance is that we didn’t have to queue for the tickets as well. We ended up going in the evening and thank goodness we did because no way could we stand there for that long in the heat and it was brilliant to see the city lit up!
Hello, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Eiffel Tower tour and that you had a wonderful experience seeing Paris illuminated in the evening. We understand your frustration regarding the queues for the Seine River cruise. Unfortunately, the cruise is operated by an independent company, and boarding procedures and wait times are entirely managed by them. As much as we would like to improve this aspect of the experience, it is outside of our control. During busy periods, queues can be longer than expected, even for guests with pre-booked tickets. We're glad that, despite the wait, you chose to go in the evening and were able to enjoy the unique atmosphere of Paris at night from the Seine. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in Paris. Kind regards, The Paris TRIP Team
We loved the attention, the explanation, and the time taken to translate into Spanish for my husband.

Easy booking experience, clear directions to meeting point with option to save on Google Maps. Guide was waiting to register us outside the office as it was out of office opening hours. Guide was very friendly & multi linguistic, she was also very Informative taking us directly to the second floor of tour Eiffel. Guide had lots of knowledge of the history & answered any questions raised, she was very good Indeed. Guide left us at second floor so we could tour the summit at our own pace & for as long as we liked, giving all clear information about the summit and directions. Very enjoyable, would highly recommend an evening tour for this reason.
