We bought tickets on the fly through the app—it was quick and easy. Once there, everything is organized to keep the line moving smoothly. After climbing the huge spiral staircase... Wow!!! The view of Paris is breathtaking, magnificent, and impressive!! I’ve visited many tourist spots in Paris over several trips, but I’ve never had time to see everything—and even if I’d planned to, I’d always end up just seeing the Arc de Triomphe from the outside. But this is a MUST-SEE!! On the rooftop terrace, the 360° view of Paris is clearly labeled with the names of all the landmarks. Go check it out—it’s a real feast for the eyes; it’s magnificent!! 😍🤩

Thanks to the information you receive in advance when you book, you’ll be well prepared. Plus, you can skip the waitlist at the ticket counter and just go through security. It’s a wonderful experience—from the stops on the mezzanine floor and in the attic room to the rooftop terrace with its sweeping view of the entire city.

Alex was a great guide. He was a good storyteller. It was very entertaining. Everything was well organized. We really enjoyed it. The boat ride was lovely, too. Thanks to the audio guide in German, it was easy to follow the explanations.

Everything went really well—the entrance was easy to navigate, and the stairs were easier than we thought. We were able to enjoy the view both during the day and at night, with a quick stop at the gift shop while we waited for nightfall. Thank you
