My family really enjoyed the experience in combo eiffel tower / Seine, the only thing that left us puzzled ( maybe because we did not understand it well ourselves ) , the guide after accompanying us to the tower and pointed out the steps for security checks, on the way down there was no more , we still found our way and took the cruise on the Seine

The meeting point was clearly communicated and the tour operators were organized and knew what they were doing. It seemed a little excessive to be there 30 minutes before tour time but it wasn't as we were there at opening and the lines were forming quickly. They kept us all together and explained the entry process well, including two different security/bag checks. The skip-the-line was helpful as tower security helped ensure that our group was able to proceed and they detained people trying to move ahead without that option. Sharon was our group guide and she was very knowledgeable and kept up with all of us even while she explained all the history of the tower. It was a great experience and I recommend Experience First for your tours. And be sure to book tickets to the Summit (by elevator). It's awesome up there.

Alexandra is a good guide. She gave us a good explanation of the construction of the Iron Lady. We thank her for waiting for us when we were a little late.
