Absolutely terrible experience. I booked a guided Eiffel Tower Summit tour for 9:30 PM, and I had plans before that. Since it was my last day in Paris, the timing was very important. Just a few hours before the tour, they suddenly emailed me saying the time had been changed to 7:30 PM, forcing me to cancel my plans. What made the experience even worse was the queue. People who didn’t have tickets and wanted to buy them on the spot had a much shorter line than we did. Because the tour company gave us e-tickets, we had to stand in an extremely long queue for hours. I specifically chose this tour because they advertised reserved tickets and claimed there would be no need to wait in long lines. I paid over €100 for a guided Summit tour, but the “guided” part lasted only about 3–4 minutes. The guide briefly explained who built the Eiffel Tower, handed us the tickets, said goodbye, and left us on our own. After waiting for over two hours, Eiffel Tower staff informed us that the summit was closed for the day and told us to contact the agency for a refund. I immediately contacted both the agency and the guide, but they refused to refund me. I paid for a guided summit experience but received neither a proper guided tour nor access to the summit. This was a complete waste of time and money and a very disappointing way to spend my last day in Paris. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
Bad, because they never called me; I arrived at the meeting point and they did not show up, without notice. And nobody talks to me about the refund.
Abigail was a great guide. She gave an interesting insight on Eiffel tower about its history and how is it maintained today. The meeting point could have been nearer to the entrance of Eiffel instead of a bit farther away. I must say for the group who joined at the pickup, it was confusing as especially the number of the building was not visible and the restaurant name which was mentioned in the app for Meeting point was not seen But overall it was a good experience with Abigail as our tour guide
Abigail was amazing very good
Abby was really friendly and a great tour guide
While guide gave us a brief history outside of tower. Other than that - no tour of sites from 2nd level as promised and definitely not 1 1/2 hours. She took us to 2nd level and then summit elevator and left. Totally not worth it other than fact we waited too late to book summit tickets independently. Book at least 30-60 days ahead on their site.
Alexandra was punctual, courteous, funny & knowledgeable.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Eiffel Tower Night Tour and that Alexandra made such a positive impression on your experience. Her punctuality, friendly personality, sense of humor, and knowledge are qualities we truly value in our guides and we will be very happy to share your kind words with her.The Eiffel Tower at night offers a truly magical atmosphere and we are glad you were able to enjoy both the breathtaking views and the engaging stories shared during the tour. For future travelers, we highly recommend experiencing the Eiffel Tower in the evening, as the illuminated city skyline and sparkling tower create an unforgettable memory. Having a knowledgeable and entertaining guide like Alexa can make the visit even more special and help you appreciate the history and beauty of this iconic landmark. Regards, Natalia
If you are able to get tickets directly from the site that is a better option. The only benefit of the guided tour was not waiting in line. The guided tour is significantly more expensive than the tickets.
We arrived 10 minutes early at the appropriate meeting place and no guide was there or could be found. We had no way to communicate with them thus we had to miss our tour and go through the hassle of getting a refund. Thankfully Viator handled the situation efficiently and fairly and got me a refund. The outfitter’s communication throughout the process was poor.
The tour guide was never there - no flag or communication. They are also refusing to refund, this is definitely not right; Viator can't even do anything about it. I was there on time and did not see anyone at the meeting spot. I also went to the Eiffel tower and no TOUR was happening at that time.
