A very informative, entertaining tour that—thanks to the tour guide’s experience—stayed right on schedule despite the very high number of visitors (on a Tuesday afternoon in early August). Without a tour guide, we definitely wouldn’t have made it to the second floor—let alone the top of the tower—by the end of the day, given the huge crowds lining up everywhere ;) So: Highly recommended.

It was an extraordinary tour! The guide took us from the meeting point to the security checkpoint at the Eiffel Tower, chatting with us along the way and explaining the tower’s history since its construction, as well as Parisian architecture and other interesting facts. The climb to the top was wonderful and easy. Our guide, Aladin, was very friendly and completely transformed the experience—thank you.

We were lucky with the cruise as boarding started like 15mins after we went there. We had a lot of funny people there whooing and singing and talking to people on bridges. We had a wonderful time. As for the Eiffel, our guide was kind and helpful and funny, she got us up on the second floor as soon as possible and helped us queue for the top. Her style of talking about it was funny, we laughed a lot.

The meeting place is great. The guide was very friendly and efficient; he spoke English and Spanish perfectly. We got in with almost no wait. He dropped us off on the second floor and gave us tickets for the boat that we could use any day. Of course, the best time is at sunset, followed by seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up at night.

Funny anecdotes and a solid knowledge of history from our tour guide, Alexandra. Good group size. Unfortunately, she suddenly disappeared on the second floor and didn't really say goodbye. But that was okay—we're adults, after all...
