The guides were very helpful and provided useful information and interesting anecdotes. Unfortunately the summit closed while we were waiting in line. We were advised to get in touch with Headoit to get a partial refund, still waiting for their response. It's important to note that the security lines are long and these tickets won't let you skip the queue. It also doesn't guarantee access to the summit if while you are waiting to get through the security, the capacity fills up.

Highlight was going up to the summit. Views were fantastic. Guide was knowledgeable and concerned all the people kept together. It was crowded but I expected that. Wait times were fairly long, no fault of the guide. There is a once every 25 year religious "Jubilee" in Europe this year so crowds are crazy. I experienced this in Rome so wasn't surprised. Just be prepared for crowds and you won't be upset.

Found the meeting point easily with Google maps. Guide was wonderful. Line was horrible but our guide made it tolerable while talking to us. Went to summit - another line of 1 hour with screaming children. Beautiful sights. Impressive monument. Took the cruise the next day. It was cold and windy so we chose to sit below but the windows opened and we could also walk outside. Again, beautiful sights.

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.

Despite the fog, we were able to reach the top of the tower where it was snowing lightly Our guide was charming and efficient The only point for improvement: the meeting place was not sufficiently highlighted in the message and we had to look for it a little.

Our tour guide was outstanding, making our trip unforgettable—especially with this being our first visit to Paris. We will definitely return and cherish this experience again.

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.
