The tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. The only downside of the tour is that the head set's were a little erratic in that you needed to remain in close proximity to the guide in order to be in range of his transmission, other than that a great tour overall!

Thank you for your review, we are happy you enjoyed your tour. It's actually the Eiffel Tower itself that can sometimes make the headsets a bit erratic, we've chosen the best available but sometimes there is a bit of interference. Don't hesitate to let your guide know if you can't hear. We are happy you liked the tour and hope to see you again!

Thank you for your review, we are very glad you enjoyed your tour! We have chosen our headsets very carefully, they are the top system available. However the Eiffel Tower itself does sometimes interfere with them, please don't hesitate to tell your guide if you are having any issues hearing them. We have spare headsets and the guide can adjust and help to ensure you can all hear well. We hope you had a great stay in Paris and that we'll see you again!

History of Tower and process being used to keep it in good shape. Our guide was good and personable. Connected well with people. Reflected disappointment in not being able to go to summit. Refund promised!

icon Response from Host , May 2022
Thank you for your review, we are very happy you enjoyed your tour. We share your disappointment in not being able to go to the summit. The staff at the tower will sometimes need to take the decision to close the summit at very short notice, usually due to weather conditions or technical problems. If this happens, the guide makes sure to do the full tour with you from the second floor viewing platform. We reimburse the difference in the ticket price between the 2nd floor and the summit, and I can confirm that all the refunds have been processed for your tour! We hope you had a great stay in Paris and we look forward to seeing you on future visits!

Good way to get to the top of Eiffel w minimal lines, great guide and tour
z3shutter
, May 2022
Great tour and the guide. A good way to avoid the lines and get to know the story behind not just the Eiffel Tower, but all the views of Paris buildings and areas that one can see from the top of the tower. Avoided lines at the entrance/lower levels, and the wait to get to the top was not that bad though there is no skipping line for that. Overall we did 3 tours (Eiffel, Versailles 1/2 day, Musse d'Orsay) w the same operator, Memories France, and all the tours and especially the guides were exceptional in all of them. Guides are the ones that make the tour immersive and great, and very happy w the tour operator. Our evening tour time of 6:15 pm was an excellent choice to be able to see Paris in the evening light, though given sunset does not happen till 9pm+ in May, we decided not to stay too long at the top (would need to be close to 10pm) to try and catch night lite view of Paris from the top.

Excellent Tour
Cicely_H
, May 2022
The tour was timely and efficient. Although we did wait a few brief minutes for some people to come, the tour started close the stated time. The skip the line was option was a Godsend as were able to avoid standing in that entrance line with the sun beating down on us. It was a brief wait at the last elevator to the summit but it was worth it. However, let me say the real high point was our tour guide, Will. He was knowledgeable and inclusive. I was traveling with my Mom who is 78 and he made every effort to make sure she was able to keep up and hear the history lesson he was giving us. The views from the tower were breathtaking and Will put so much more context and texture to the sights we saw. I highly recommend.

We are sorry to read your review. We checked with the guide and she did have a cold on the day of your tour. She had of course done a Covid test and was negative. She did however ensure she kept her mask on when you were inside and asked all the group to wear them in the elevator. The radios that we use on all our Eiffel Tower tours allowed her to keep her distance during your visit. We are sorry to read that you got sick, and hope you made a speedy recovery. The guide did another test after the tour which also came back negative, so hopefully you have nothing too serious. We do hope you had a great time in Paris all the same.

We got to go in a shorter line. It was about half an hour guided tour. Guise brought us to the summit, then we enjoyed the view. The tour ends at the top. We come back to the second floor, climbed down the stairs to the first floor, which was quicker than 2nd floor elevator to ground.

Our guide Will was was very informative, personable and given many challenges with this tour provided an excellent experience .

Thank you for your review which we are happy to read and which we have passed on to Will. We are pleased you enjoyed your tour. You are right, the site can get extremely busy and there may be wait times at security or at the elevators due to crowds. We do have pre-reserved entry tickets which are timed, and our guides are there to help you navigate all the various lines and entries, as well of course as tell you the fascinating stories of the tower! We are glad you had a good experience with Will at the tower and we hope you had a wonderful stay in Paris.

Please go with a guide if this is your first time in the tower. Daphne was a good guide. The radios should have a better range to avoid comms interruptions but this is something she does not have control over.

icon Response from Host , Apr 2022
Thank you for leaving us a review! We are happy that you enjoyed your tour with Daphne. In terms of the radios, we provide them so that all our guests can hear the guide well at all times, and so the quality of the sound is very important to us. We have tested many different options and chosen to use very new models which are extremely reliable in terms of sound quality and have an excellent range. However the Eiffel Tower is quite a particular site, in that the wind can sometimes have an effect on the sound quality and there can occasionally be some interference from the tower itself (it has a radio antenna on the top!) If you have any issues with hearing your guide please let them know, they carry spare radios so they can change them for you if necessary, or they can move perhaps to a better spot to avoid interference. We hope you had a great stay in Paris!

icon Response from Host , Apr 2022
Many thanks for your review, we are very happy that you enjoyed your tour! The guides do not want to rush the tours, if you felt a little rushed it's perhaps because they saw an opportunity to get ahead of the crowds at the Eiffel Tower and wanted to take it. Navigating the security checks, the various elevators and the crowds can be challenging as I'm sure you saw, so when they have the chance to jump you through quickly they do take it! We hope you had a great stay in Paris and that we'll see you again.
