We went to visit the Effiel Tower(8/8/25 - 7.15pm). Our tour guide made the visit. She looked after the whole group from the meeting point to the tower. During the tour she was polite and informative, explaining what we where doing as we went along and giving us historical facts along the way. Once up the tower she showed a true passion for the city, pointing out historical landmarks and giving up to date insites. The next day we visited Le Petit Palsis on her recommendation. Overall she made our tour and I'm so glad I booked it!

As the meeting point is outside, you have a short walk to the tower and are guided through the security check, receive a brief (unnecessary) introduction, bypass the ticket queue and queue directly at a separate line at the elevator. The guide then leaves you at the top of the tower and you can move around freely. This doesn't really justify the 2.5 times higher price, as the waiting time and the walk mean you probably won't wait any longer than if you bought the tickets on site

    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.

  • Fondation Louis Vuitton

    Step into the realm of one of the 20th century's most influential artists at the Fondation Louis Vuitton's "Ellsworth Kelly – Shapes and Colors, 1949–2015" exhibition. Marking Kelly's centenary, this is France's premier comprehensive display of his work, featuring over 100 pieces. A must-see for art aficionados!

    The exhibition traces Kelly's exploration of shape, color, line, and space through key works from pivotal periods in his career. Spanning two floors, the collection showcases a variety of pieces that highlight the apparent simplicity yet profound complexity of Kelly's artistic expression. Notable among them is Yellow Curve (1990), Kelly's groundbreaking large-scale floor painting, making its European debut since its creation in 1990.
