⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The experience at the Eiffel Tower was wonderful. The guide was the best of all: super friendly, he explained to us in English and French, and even tried to speak to us in Spanish! We really appreciated that detail and it made us feel very welcome. We went up to the second floor (with the option to go down to the first floor as well) and were able to enjoy the incredible views and the history that the guide told us. Then, later in the day, we enjoyed the boat ride on the Seine River. The best thing is that this ticket is flexible: you can use it anytime within the next six months, which gives a lot of freedom to organize the visit. Everything was perfectly organized. All in all, an unforgettable experience and highly recommended.

Very efficient check-in at the Paris Lounge and thankful for the change of time from the lovely staff member. Tour guide, Sebastian was very welcoming, informative and patient throughout the guide. First time viewing the Effiel Tower and it was amazing and a good experience. Staff at the Siene Cruise entrance were helpful and kind. Siene Cruise was relaxing, spacious and scenic. Had a wonderful time overall. Thank you all ☺️

The guide was great and entertaining. Well organized. Prices in the store at the meeting point cheaper than in the Champs Élysées, for example. Friendly. It was a pity that the top floor was closed and we only had a ticket to the 2nd floor. When the top floor opened, we didn't have the right ticket. We paid for the top floor. Therefore 1 star deduction.

Experience Paris from two unique perspectives—soaring above the city at the Eiffel Tower and cruising along the Seine—without any extra travel time in between.

Join a guided tour from the ground floor to the Eiffel Tower’s second floor with elevator access to the first and second floors.

Expect wait times during peak season, but your guide ensures a smooth, informative journey to the top.

Then, relax on a 1-hour Seine River cruise, passing iconic landmarks with live commentary that brings Paris’s history to life.

Upgrade to summit access for unmatched views from 905 feet above the ground—the ultimate Parisian experience.

Absolutely worth every penny and an experience not to be missed. We were very well received at the meeting point and the guide followed us from there to the tower. She was very welcoming and told us about the history of the tower with great empathy. She made it possible to jump ahead in the very long queue and followed us up to the second floor and from there we went on our own and could explore the top, 1st and 2nd floors and spend all the time we wanted. Would definitely recommend getting the whole package and getting to the top even if you suffer from a fear of heights, as I do. It's almost impossible to get up the tower without having bought a ticket in advance. We were given tickets for a boat trip on the Seine, which we could use whenever we wanted at any day and time. We gave up sailing in the evening as there were too many people in line. We came back the next day at noon and went straight on board. It was a really nice boat trip where we got to see a lot from the water.

The view from the Eiffel Tower was fantastic! We also liked the fact that once on the tower, we could plan our own time and decide when to take the boat. Despite pre-booked tickets, we spent at least 1.5 hours in line at the Eiffel Tower, which we did not expect. That disappointed us.

All super. Guide tried to stay close to me even though I didn't speak English. Covered head neck hands x strong wind at top of Tour. Nice cruise as well. I was confiscated serramanico: checks like at airport x go up Tour. Don't eat near Tour Eiffel, look for Trocadero in gardens.

The guide for the tower was a great idea. You save at least a big line for the entering, at least 30 minutes. The explanations are suitable for a monument like the Eiffel Tower. Great value for rhe money indeed. The boat experience was simple compared to others but it is what it is. Also good value for the money

Soar above Paris with a guided Eiffel Tower tour, then glide along the Seine on a 1-hour cruise, taking in the city's iconic landmarks from two perspectives.
