⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The experience at the Eiffel Tower was wonderful. The guide was the best of all: super friendly, he explained to us in English and French, and even tried to speak to us in Spanish! We really appreciated that detail and it made us feel very welcome. We went up to the second floor (with the option to go down to the first floor as well) and were able to enjoy the incredible views and the history that the guide told us. Then, later in the day, we enjoyed the boat ride on the Seine River. The best thing is that this ticket is flexible: you can use it anytime within the next six months, which gives a lot of freedom to organize the visit. Everything was perfectly organized. All in all, an unforgettable experience and highly recommended.

Very efficient check-in at the Paris Lounge and thankful for the change of time from the lovely staff member. Tour guide, Sebastian was very welcoming, informative and patient throughout the guide. First time viewing the Effiel Tower and it was amazing and a good experience. Staff at the Siene Cruise entrance were helpful and kind. Siene Cruise was relaxing, spacious and scenic. Had a wonderful time overall. Thank you all ☺️

My family really enjoyed the experience in combo eiffel tower / Seine, the only thing that left us puzzled ( maybe because we did not understand it well ourselves ) , the guide after accompanying us to the tower and pointed out the steps for security checks, on the way down there was no more , we still found our way and took the cruise on the Seine

Amazing experience. The Guide was so professional and made the tour so interesting. We really enjoyed the views of the city from the eiffel tower and then from the river cruise at night. We loved learning about the history of the Eiffel tower which was very interesting.

A great guide!!! Very cooperative, always friendly and an answer to every question!!! Waiting time to get up the tower was definitely too long with children, but you can't help it....

The tour went really well, we just had a bit of trouble finding our guide. It was hard to find the meeting point, especially as we were from the provinces.

Beautiful experience that I would also repeat immediately! One never gets tired of seeing the Eiffel Tower especially when accompanied by an empathetic and helpful guide (even if , alas, he does not speak Italian like the vast majority of French people)who, after explaining the history of the tower in Spanish, English and French, escorted us to the second floor and then left us free to visit this wonder . From any floor and angle of the tower the view of Paris is breathtaking!!! All this without having stood in line for even a minute given the priority access.

Soar above Paris with a guided Eiffel Tower tour, then glide along the Seine on a 1-hour cruise, taking in the city's iconic landmarks from two perspectives.
