The tour to the Eiffel Tower was simply amazing... At the beginning, we were a bit skeptical because we didn't really want to book a guided tour, but everything was just great. Our guide was incredibly friendly and funny; he paused at the right places and told us not only about the Eiffel Tower but also about many things around it. The fact that he acted as a photographer for the group members in front of the Eiffel Tower was also really awesome... because that's how the most beautiful photo of our entire vacation was taken! Thank you so much once again for that. He conducted the entire tour in English, but since my husband unfortunately speaks little to no English, he kept taking short pauses so I could translate everything he said for my husband. All in all, a great experience. I can only advise everyone to book through this agency. You definitely won't regret it.

-Online booking: 10 out of 10 👍🏾 -The English, French, and Spanish tours—world-class. -The VIP entrance for tickets booked as part of a group—priceless; no waiting, no long lines. -Then the ride up in the elevator—exciting and a real thrill. The cherry 🍒 on top was reaching the top of the Eiffel Tower—an amazing experience I can only recommend to everyone, even people with a fear of heights; the ride is super safe.

What a wonderful 2 days. First Day we had the hop on bus give us the grand tour of Paris. Getting off whenever we wanted and then the 2nd day, our Eiffel tower summit visit was wonderful. Made Even better with our guide Sydney who was knowledgeable and very pleasant. The Price of the combo permitted us to go to the summit of the Eiffel tower for only 36$cad! What a deal!

Immanuel was our tour guide from Crown Tours. He explained things along the way, was a good character, and made the process of viewing the tower easy and simple to understand. The tower itself was amazing, a great piece of engineering with great views of Paris. Although busy, waiting times were not too long and it did not feel overcrowded inside. Glad to have seen it

Great tour all the way to the top of the Eiffel Tower The very friendly guide quickly took us to the elevator and up to the second floor without much of a wait, telling us a lot about the tower’s history along the way. We had a great group (Mel from Australia 😁) and the ride all the way to the top afterward was an absolute highlight.

We really enjoyed our trip to the Eiffel Tower. You need to prepare for security checks, but everything went fine. We recommend going at a less busy time around lunchtime, there weren't so many people there.

See Paris from the Eiffel Tower with a live guide, then switch to Carnavalet for the city’s story told through 3,800+ objects and exhibits.

Eiffel Tower: 90-minute small-group guided tour (10–20 guests) with reserved elevator access to the summit or 2nd floor, plus access to the 1st floor.

Carnavalet Museum: Direct entry to the permanent collection and all current temporary exhibitions, explored independently at your own pace.

Plan both on the same day or split them across days—your Eiffel Tower time is selected at checkout, while the museum visit stays flexible.

Choose the option that fits your view: summit access or 2nd-floor access on the Eiffel Tower.

It was a dream come true. It's a spectacular place. The feeling you get from the views on the second floor will be unforgettable. I took the tour with the guide Pascal, a really nice guy, who—even though he told the story in English (that’s what I booked) and despite my limited command of English—I was able to understand him. Plus, at times he gave me explanations in Spanish. I’m so grateful, and I’ll definitely recommend this agency to my friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The appointment time was kept. We received a warm welcome. The guide provided explanations during the approach and at the base of the tower. We climbed with the guide to the second terrace, then continued on our own to the top. Highly recommended

It was a perfect time in the evening to catch the sunset and see the lights. Our group size was good and we liked our guide.

The tour guide was excellent: the explanations were both informative and humorous. We were even able to go all the way to the top. It was incredibly impressive.

For our entire family, our visit to the Eiffel Tower will remain much more than just a tourist stop: it was one of those experiences that remind us that certain monuments are not merely admired with the eyes, but are discovered with the mind and remain etched in our memories. The experience as a whole is undoubtedly worth the trip. We particularly appreciated the quality of the tour as well as the depth and clarity of the explanations provided by our guides, whose kindness, helpfulness, and attentiveness gave this visit a deeply human touch. We would also like to extend our most sincere thanks to Laeticia from the Paris Lounge agency, whose help, availability, and dedication to service were particularly appreciated. Despite a few initial difficulties, she demonstrated responsiveness, kindness, and above all, remarkable professionalism, allowing our family to fully enjoy this wonderful experience. For perhaps the true quality of service is not measured by the complete absence of unforeseen events, but by the elegance, efficiency, and humanity with which one overcomes them. To the entire team, we would therefore like to express our gratitude and offer our warmest congratulations. Your dedication, courtesy, and professionalism do credit to your profession and give visitors that precious feeling of being not merely accompanied, but truly valued. Some tours allow you to discover a monument; the best ones also let you take a little of the place’s spirit home with you. Ours was undoubtedly one of those.
