As described

Everything went as described. Access was easy and facilitated by the guide. The guide was great. It is very crowed and your exit may take awhile

Nice experience with the Eiffel Tower, Seine cruise not worth

Nice experience with the Eiffel Tower, however, will mean it a waste of money to book it with Seine cruise. Whether you have the ticket at home from or buy it over in Paris I personally experienced that it was irrelevant. You still had to stand in meters long queues, and we didn't even get out on the boat trip due to the massive long queues

Best way to see the Eiffel tower

Definitely a must do when seeing Paris. The tour director walked us to the Eiffel Tower and brought us up to the second level where she walked us up to the line where we waited for the elevator to the top. She was very knowledgeable and gave us interesting bits of trivia and history. I felt like we saved alit of time by going with the tour and less waiting in long lines.

Excellent organization. We managed to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and take a beautiful cruise on the Seine from which we saw the major points of interest in Paris.

While in Paris

No words can express the grandeur of the Eiffel Tower or the views. Marcella made the tour over the top. Such an amazing and knowledgeable guide. Definitely one of the best experiences we had in Paris. Thank you so very much for a wonderful tour.

60th birthday trip to Eiffel Tower curtail by Eurostar cancelling our tickets!!

My 3 sisters and I were going to Paris to celebrate one sister’s 60th birthday and we couldn’t use our tickets since Eurostar cancelled our train because of the hot weather.

Operator response

Dear X8461ULc, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are truly sorry to hear that your trip to Paris to celebrate your sister's 60th birthday was disrupted by the cancellation of your Eurostar train. We completely understand how disappointing and frustrating that must have been, especially for such a special occasion. That said, we would kindly ask you to consider why our experience deserved a 1-star rating. Unfortunately, the Eurostar cancellation was entirely beyond our control, and we had no involvement in the circumstances that prevented you from reaching Paris. We believe your feedback would be much more appropriate if directed to Eurostar, as they were responsible for the disruption. A 1-star review on our experience has a significant impact on our reputation, despite the fact that we did nothing wrong and had no opportunity to provide the service you had booked. We sincerely hope you will reconsider your rating. Reviews are incredibly important to small businesses like ours, and we believe it's important to judge companies based on the quality of the service they actually provide. A little consideration can make a real difference to businesses that work hard to deliver memorable experiences for their guests. We wish you and your sisters the opportunity to celebrate together in Paris under better circumstances in the future. Kind regards, The Paris TRIP Customer Experience Team

You meet the guide in a...

You meet the guide in a friendly and comfortable office, and walk about five minutes over to the entry to the Eiffel Tower. The guides are assigned based on language, although ours was able to communicate just as fluently with a family that came who spoke a different language. She was friendly and clear and very efficient in getting us through all of the steps getting into the elevator to the Eiffel Tower second level. Then we were free to roam as we chose. A very nice afternoon and great experience! We didn’t get a chance to take the boat tour as well because of our limited time in Paris, but even with out that this was certainly worth the price.
