  • "As someone who is not great with heights, the lift is a little bit daunting - especially the lift from the first platform to the next, but once you get up there, it is all worth it." See review

A “Must See” in Paris
Pamela_M
, Aug 2022
After we waited in line for over an hour, even though it was a “skip the line tour”, we were able to get on the elevators. We went to the 2nd floor and then on to the top. It has breathtaking views of Paris that we really enjoyed. You just have to do this while in Paris!

Follow Instructions and Tour is Recommended
Pedro_M
, Aug 2022
As long as you follow the instructions this tour is great. Tips: Go to meeting point to pick up your ticket and meet your guide. You’ll walk over in a group and go through 2 security queues. Take the elevator up together. The tour only gives a 20 minute tour (optional - I didn’t stay and chose to go up to the summit right away). After the brief tour the guide let’s you stay and do whatever you want! Voila!

Total rip-off and scam by Europe Tourism
EddieBirman
, Aug 2022
Got totally ripped off by the tour operator Europe Tourisme. Bought and paid more than 3 months ago. Everything said CONFIRMED. We arrived 15 minutes before the indicated time. After waiting more than half an hour, I contacted the tour operator and to my surprise, I had a message saying my booking had been cancelled. They hadn’t even refunded my money, even though they argued that they sent a cancellation email (which, by the way, never arrived). Never, ever book a tour from EUROPE TOURISM. They are scammers and thieves.

Our tour guy was very good. However there were so many people and the elevator was not coming and we had to walk down like 40 flights of stairs. I don’t think I wanna go back.

Foiled again Batman

The tour was not as it states. You only skip the big line you still wait in line for about 20 minutes to get onto the lift. Where your jammed in with about 100 people.Your died doesn’t go to the summit so you have to wait in another 30 minutes line. The only saving grace was that you were at the Eiffel Tower.

Memorable experience and saved us time!
Analise_G

We had a wonderful instructor. She was full of personality and told us a lot of history which was awesome! The views were amazing and skip the line was worth it all! We went in the evening to see the sunset which was a great time to go! The skip the line really helped us have more time to see other things in our day.

Skip the line is not true.Hard to keep up and hear guide
Aoife_H
, Aug 2022
Our tour guide Micheal was very nice, knowledgable, funny and patient. However, I would recommend headsets as we had on other tours. It was extremely hard to hear him. We also had to wait in a queue and so the 'skip the queue' portion was not true. We had a skip the queue tour in the Louvre and it really was true.Not sure why this did not happen on this eiffel tower tour. It was also extremely hard to stay with the group, the guide moved fast through large crowds, would be hard for guests that are slower/older

Hot day at Eiffel Tower
Alan_A
, Aug 2022
The views from the second and third levels were excellent. The 97 degree temperature was difficult. The skip the line was still 90 minutes or more to get from first security to second level. Solange was a pleasant tour guide. We had originally had a tour at 8:30, which was canceled. A second tour scheduled at 2:30, was also canceled, but we were moved to 5:30.

Brilliant trip with daughter
Fiona_H

The best part of our trip my daughter says. Our guide Carolina was fantastic, really interesting talk that was about 20 mins long once we were on the second floor. Great to walk straight past the endless queues and straight into the lift! Easy to find the meeting point at the souvenir shop in google maps, it’s5 mins from the Eiffel Tower. I would highly recommend!

The top was closed even though we bought a ticket for it. Our guide assured us that the top would be open to us but it wasn’t. I feel she intentionally lied to us. We should have been offered a partial refund.
