Great management from the organisers! We mistakenly booked The ring tour and the organisers were more than happy to change it without any additional fees! Their humour and acceptance to the change was phenomenal and was very much appreciated!

A very interesting experience. The guide was friendly, but unfortunately not all of his explanations were translated into French. We didn't understand a thing.

It was really great and super cool—thanks to the people who try to help those of us who don't speak much English, especially a girl who helped me with the locker at the entrance and then, on the way out, asked how I was doing and helped me unlock it.

The geese taking off and the illumination of the building as well as the children's work are particularly impressive. Thank you very much!

Tower views were interesting but the "free drink" has lots of restrictions that decreases its value for many visitors.
