We had such a great time on the Eiffel Tower tour! Yazid was our host and he made it fun, while also giving us a good history lesson. We were happy with his charisma and the professionalism of the company as a while. Thank you!

The guide was very nice. However for the extra money not really worth it. The line was not long when we got to the tower and the information was ok but not great. If I could do it again I would just show up and get the tickets directly from the tower.

Although my tour with the History group was good - I discovered that I would have saved over $100 if I’d NOT booked through Viator and come straight to the History Group! What a bummer!

We enjoyed the visit very much: Very good organization, don’t wait on the lines, slow pace visit so you have owl type time to see the différents levels/views, accompanied with a personal guide, teaching about the history of the Eiffel Tower but also on Paris in general. Our guide Martha was very nice and helpful!

My most memorable experience is that I did not get a chance to have one... Make sure you scroll down your screen when Viator sends you an email telling with the subject "Your Tickets are Here" and you see a barcode. This barcode is NOT your ticket. You actually have to get them at an office away from the Eiffel Tower. If you're like me and you realize it once you've gone through security you don't want to go out of the area again. That was some of the most $250 wasted in my life when I saw the disappointment of my children who had been waited for this moment for a long time.

Dear Claire, We are sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. In the description of the product, it's clearly write, you have to go to the company agency to get your tickets for Eiffel Tower. We try to do our best to have a better communication about this process.
