Jake, our tour guide was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable and made the experience great fun. Our group ranged from ages 12 -72 and he answered all our questions and was very engaged. Thank you for a wonderful day out Jake!

So glad we booked a tour, Manuela was very knowledgeable and it was great to hear all about the Eiffel Tower rather than just see it. I tried to upload some photos but it wouldn't let me, kept saying failed.

Once in Paris the communication was great. All question were responded to right away. Our tour guide Andrei was amazing. So knowledgeable, kind, and attentive he made our last day in Parisnperfect. I would book another tour with this company in the future. He walked us step by step. If I would change anything it would be to give a little more detail about the tour before hand. I didn't realize we could have taken the river cruise any day and it would have been nice to know the different times of the cruises. But it all work out amazingly.

It was our first time in Paris, and we wanted to go up the Eiffel Tower safely and without long waits. Booking through headhout was a huge help. From meeting the host to having champagne at the top of the tower, everything went off without a hitch. It was an amazing experience!!! It's just a shame that despite over 2 million visitors from Germany, guided tours are only offered in English.

We had a great experience on the Eiffel Tower tour. Everything was well organized and the meeting point was easy to find. Our guide was friendly, informative and made the visit enjoyable. The views from the summit were amazing, and the Seine River cruise included in the package was a nice bonus. We had a lovely time as a family and would definitely recommend this tour.”

It was everything I imagined. The meet up was easy and our guide so welcoming and informative. He walked us right in. Highly recommended if your looking for a tour to the Eiffel Tower.

It was very well organised and simple instructions made it easy to understand. We only booked our Eiffel tower visit the week before we went.

Despite the bad weather, to put it politely, thanks to our guide Kenny, who was always ready with a joke, had a big comforting smile, and shared a few well-placed quips, I still haven't forgotten this tour. Thank you Kenny, and best of luck with the rest of your career!

Super easy to book this tour and the guide had a great deal to share about the Eiffel Tower and its creator, and it was very easy to find the respective meeting points for the tour and the boat trip. Everything went perfectly—thanks again!

The tour was great made even better by the tour guide JD. He was so knowledgeable and friendly happy to take photos for the group members. It was easy to find the meet spot and smooth from start to finish. Would 10 out of 10 recommend.

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.
