Read to make sure if steps involved.

It’s a lot of steps. And top floor could be closed due to capacity causing a wait. Our tour guide Garon was fantastic. A lot of tips and knowledge.

History with a View

Whole family enjoyed this tour, including 15 year old daughter. We really loved learning about Gustav Eiffel.

The steps were a bit tough but so glad I did it. Our guide, Gabon, was wonderful. Even made it to the top.

While the climb to the second floor was tiring, it was totally worth it. Goran was fantastic. Great information and great sense of humor.

Tour cancelled by vendor.

This tour was cancelled at the last minute; within an hour of the start time. Apparently, the guide was unable to get to Paris, ( no further explanation provided). We were already at the Eiffel Tower, ( having prepared ahead), when we received notice it was cancelled. The alternative option that was offered was not amenable to our schedule, so we requested a refund.

Do Not Use this company - no guarantee they actually have a ticket for you

The tour started at 9.30am, at 7pm the night before I received an email to say they did not have tickets for me. By the time I received the email at 9pm, contacted Viator and told the company had closed for the day so that was that. I had ordered in advance and paid in advance. Totally shocking way to treat customers, told I could go a different day, but would have left Paris by then. So no Effiel Tower for me. It was already totally over priced, then they did not deliver, just left out to dry

Nina was a great guide!...

Nina was a great guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable. One thing that we didn't realize when booking is that she didn't accompany us the whole time; only to the 2nd floor. I also assumed we would get immediate entry, but we had to wait in line to buy tickets for our walk up to the 2nd floor, which we could've done without the booking. She used the wait time wisely but sharing with us information about the tower.

Do not purchase from Viator

The tour guide did not show up! We paid $500 for tickets. The tour guide also did not respond to multiple attempts to calls and texts. He claimed we didnt show up therfore we lost our money. Viator will do nothing about this issue with the evidence I provided. The staff at Eiffel tower told us this happens all the time!! Shame on you Viator for scamming people!!! Offered zero resolve!!!!!!

Operator response

We’re sorry you missed your tour, however our guide and coordinator were present at the designated meeting point at the scheduled time. We provided timestamped screenshots and communication records confirming this, along with multiple attempts to contact you. Unfortunately, missing the meeting point falls under the missed-tour policy. We also ask that communication remain respectful, as our staff were subjected to your very insulting language despite their efforts to assist.

Three times the cost for some data that comes out on wikipedia.

Guided by a love, but exactly the same things as if it were just, same steps, I take the Tickets ahead of us. Same as if it were alone, but paying 3 times more. The truth is purposeless.

Operator response

Gracias por su opinión y por haber participado en nuestro tour. Me alegra que haya encontrado amable y simpática a la guía. Para aclarar lo que contrataron: Usted reservó un tour guiado de 90 minutos con entrada prioritaria a la Torre Eiffel no solo entradas normales
