Yazid was an awesome tour guide and gave us interesting facts and insights about the Eiffel Tower. Well worth it!

The queues for tickets are horrendous, even in February and Viator offer this tour at a very reasonable price and you avoid the queues. Now there is still a delay in getting into the tower due to the airline style security they use, and you will go through this twice at least, but as most people would agree better safe than sorry. Once inside we were given a fantastic history and fact tour from the guide Marc. He delivered this with humour and involved people with questions right from the moment we met in the nearby travel office. It's guides like Marc that ensure Viator are our first choice for visiting attractions like this. On meeting in the office, you will be offered various champagne related or 'summit' upgrades and all seem reasonably priced. We opted for the 2nd level and believe me that was high enough for me. The views all around Paris were superb, but we were blessed with a clear day, so the top was open...sadly one look up from level 2 was enough to convince me I did not want to go higher. The Tower is frankly amazing. Very few things make me draw breath in awe , but Gustave Eiffel's creation did. There is a cafe area on level 1 serving fresh food and coffee at very decent prices. The gift shop is very good and if you do want a model tower then buy here, with 'Made in France' guarantees rather than from the mass of street sellers outside. The street sellers can no longer get into the tower campus, but they will be waiting for you when you leave :) . Overall an excellent tour, with a very passionate guide and worth every bit of the tour charg.

It was a great experience, very well organized, we didn’t waste any time making lines, out guide Blanch was very nice, she knew a lot of information about the Tower which made our tour more interesting, highly recommended tour!

Visiting the Eiffel Tower was an awesome experience. Unfortunately, I showed up for the tour a day early, but the lady at the counter was nice enough to put me on immediately actually early than I anticipated it cost me extra $10, but that's ok and a glass of champagne and macaroons at the top of the tower could have been better. Merci beaucoup!

Fantastic, organised trip. Tour guide was brilliant with a great sense of humour and excellent knowledge

Great tour guide! We were able to skip line and go to best spot. Also, we enjoyed on our own and take pictures. Be sure to go to the bar on the 1st floor. Such a beautiful experience!

Increible experience. The guide guy was amazing. He dominates Spanish English and French. His knowledge about Eifel tower history is superb.

The guide, Maarten, was really good and had an impressive knowledge of history, with fun facts included. He was informative, without being overbearing and was very polite and respectful. As I have been living in Paris (just moving away, in fact), I know a bit of its history myself, yet he still told interesting facts that I was not aware of.
Being fully aware of the fact that the tower needs the extra security and needs to be practically `quarantined`, it is still always a bit disappointing to see the walls at her feet. Security is also a must, but maybe there could be more opportunities to actually skip the line indeed.

Such a wonderful experience Sebastian is greatit was long line but the special acess really a plus . The tour was organize really well . Sebastian was very knowledgable with the history and poit us the most important spot or landmark . Thats a bummer we are not able to go to Summit due to contruction

Great time! Our guide Marteen really knew his stuff! Great experience! Highly recommend. Very helpful!
