We walked up the Arc de Triomphe just before sunset...so lovely to see the city at night! The Catacombs are such an interesting part of Paris's history. The audio guide worked very well. There was nothing you needed to do...just walk and the guide would pick up where you were...and tell you the story!

Climbing the beautiful spiral staircase to the top of the Arc de Triomphe with my son and having him walk around the top with me and point out the different landmarks in the various Arr. was amazing! 💕

Was great. We were asked if we would like to take lift. I had a sore leg so was wonderful and very prompt. Loved the view and the lovely lady took us back down when finished. Booking was easy too. Thank you

The trip up to the top of the arctic ramp is definitely worth it for the views however, the 284 steps going up a spiral staircase is the equivalent of 18 flights of stairs.

Easy ticket purchase, could go when it suited us on the date we booked, no locked in time so that was good. We just walked straight up, went via security and missed the long queues. Less stress lining up and could go in and climb up to the top.

Unfortunately, it was cloudy and looked like rain. But visiting the Arc de Triomphe and going up to the rooftop terrace was a highlight of my stay in Paris. The view over Paris at night was simply beautiful. It was amazing and definitely worth seeing.
