Visiting the Eiffel Tower and enjoying the breathtaking view of Paris from the first and second levels was truly a highlight of our trip to Paris. We had no trouble understanding our tour guide in English. We found the meeting point at the Eiffel Souvenirs shop easily. It was a bit annoying that Eiffel Tower security suddenly closed the line we’d been waiting in for quite a while—we were already pretty far up front—and we had to get back in line on the other side, way at the back. But that wasn’t the tour guides’ fault. Things then moved surprisingly quickly through security and on to the Eiffel Tower. We were impressed!!

It was easy to visit the Eiffel Tower all the way to the top with a very friendly guide (Bruno). The tour was in English because I waited too long to book, but it was very understandable for French speakers, and the multilingual guide also spoke to us in French. It was a skip-the-line tour, but we still had to go through the two security checkpoints, which slowed us down (a little). Combined with the Seine cruise, a wonderful experience where we passed under 22 bridges and saw many iconic monuments without leaving our seats.

Sidney was the perfect guide. Smiling and cheerful, he listened to everyone, weaving together anecdotes and facts about the history of the "Iron Lady." We didn't have to hunt for the ticket counter, the entrance, or the elevator—what a pleasure not to have to worry about the logistics! We took our time and then headed to the Seine for the cruise. Comfort, the ride, the views: everything was perfect!

The guide was excellent and the whole experience was amazing. Well worth it and learnt a lot that I didn't know. She clearly loves her job and is so enthusiastic to tell you all about the Eiffel Tower. I am not a lover of heights but going up to the top was absolutely fine also as it's enclosed and she was able to reassure me. So glad I done it! Def one thing ticked off the life list to have done.

Very well organized. Despite the large crowds, our tour guide led us to the Eiffel Tower without much delay. The tour was very informative, and she took great care of the group. The ride to the top is a must! The Seine river cruise was also lovely, though the boats were very crowded. Overall, highly recommended.

We had a great experience. The guide for the Eiffel Tower Tour was very knowledgeable and entertaining. She made it fun and informative. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate with the Seine Cruise, but the boat had a large indoor floor with big windows.

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.

The view from the Eiffel Tower was spectacular. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, but the time spent with the group was very short. For the price, I would have liked to hear many more interesting facts. I really enjoyed the cruise on the Seine; Paris is charming from the water! However, we had to wait in line for a long time because we didn’t have priority access or a reserved time slot; we were in line with everyone else buying tickets at the ticket office.

The guide is a wonderful man. We were a little late and there was no problem that we intercepted the group under the tower itself. A ride on the Seine River is a must. Lidija
