The guide described the tower and the surrounding historic buildings in very clear, easy-to-understand English. Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait in line for long. The group was small and manageable. After the guided tour, we were free to stay on the tower as long as we wanted. Tickets were available for the boat tour, which could also be used in the following days.

Easy to find meeting point. Very knowledgeable and friendly Eiffel Tower guide. Magical Eiffel Tower tour. Then we boarded the boat, which involved just crossing the road and going down to the quay. Pleasant trip, breathtaking views of Paris' monuments with informative commentary. Excellent crew. I highly recommend this combo.

Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity to learn the history and enjoy the views of this place. Our guide is just a sweetheart, although we understood a little English, we really liked his presentation and the tour. We were 100% satisfied. Thank you to everyone who does their job. We will definitely be back.

The tour of the Tower was beautiful and interesting. Unfortunately, it was too windy and cold to enjoy the view of the city and stay up there for more than an hour. In fact, the tour of the Seine River was canceled due to the weather, rain, and wind. We hope to return within the year to complete the tour.

A Good Tour Guide. Well explained protocols History and Exploration Help. Thanks to Bruno our guide helping on history and conversing with us throughout about so many things at the tour. Also the river cruise was a long queue but was worth the wait.

This experience would've been great but was not upon our arrival to Paris Airbnb company left us on the street without key for our booked apartment. I wouldn't even book trough you anymore as you overpriced the tickets by roughly £100 if bought separately direct from providers, you're a scam. 5 stars you get for great scamming which you managed to provide and get us as victims.

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.
