“We enjoyed the tour with Kenny, who was very funny and kept us entertained with facts and anecdotes while we waited in the security line. She gave us lots of details about the construction and the history of the tower. My kids were really happy to be able to go to the top of the tower and said it was the best experience they had in Paris.”

Review of Paris Eiffel Tower access to the second level or summit, with guide, views, queues, meeting details, price, and booking advice.

“A low-key guide experience (no flags or audio headsets) which was perfect for my family of four. Skipping the line at the beginning was so worthwhile, loved getting all the way to the summit. Also, a great ice cream parlor is next door to where you pick up your tickets, so grab a cone for the stroll over.”

“A must do experience in Paris! Love how intimate the size of the group was! Communication all throughout, from emails to messaging, was clear and timely! Our guide, Nihad, was warm, friendly accommodating and full of knowledge to share. He managed expectations well before, during and after the whole process. It's just a shame that the weather was not cooperating but wouldn't exchange this experience otherwise! Highly recommended!”

Reach the Eiffel Tower’s second floor or summit by lift with an English-speaking guide, reserved access, Paris views, and practical tips.

“The reception staff in Paris were very rude and unhelpful. We arrived 5 minutes late to our tour which I understand is our fault but they ignored us for 20 minutes after saying they will try to see if we could jump on the next tour. Considering how much I had spent on this trip I would expect them to make an effort to help us with actually visiting the Eiffel tower with a group. But no they were very rude, and we felt like a nuisance to them. I would not recommend this specific group to anyone and I would appreciate it if we received a refund, even if…”
