Yusra our tour guide aas fantastic! She was knowledgable and funny.
Thanks Ana B, very professional and smart!
Ana was great. Book this tour!
Spectacular views of Paris! Tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable of the history of the tower.
You ara was amazing, very helpful and joyful
The city wonders tour group in Paris took over for viator. Instructions for meeting place were vague. All in the group agreed it was confusing. The guide from there was late. The actual person who was taking us however wss there on time. She just needed the tickets from the city tiur guide. Yursa was a great guide. Very informative with the history of the eiffel tower. We were a little disappointed with the amount of people allowed in. It was walll to wall people. I felt very claustrophobic. If you dont like crowded spaces this is not for you. The view is just a big crowded area if buildings below. We would not go back We opted for the river criise after. It was much more relaxing and not crowded. We liked it
Very knowledgeable guide, knows how to skip the queues and give the best experience for the guests. Great experience.
Yusra was our tour guide. She was very informative, funny, helpful, patient and everything altogether. Had a wonderful time.
Our guide Maria was great. Nice having someone to give the history but also the logistics of getting around
Excellent experience. Yousra was knowledgeable and passionate about the history and entertaining.
Guide was nice and knowledgeable
Pablo was great. Very patient, organized and informative. He was friendly and fun and great with kids. He even took pictures.
Yusra was fantastic! Don’t lose her! She kept it moving and enlightening! And don’t get in her way. She knows what rights her group has and will remove you if you don’t belong with her group! So informative and inclusive to everyone on her tour. Groups are decently sized so not too crowded but grouped well. I think we were 20-25. Fantastic views! Thanks Yusra!
Solo traveler in Paris & booked this last minute. Meetup spot was easy to find, tour guide was friendly & knowledgeable, pointing out the facts around the Eiffel Tower & surrounding sights. I would definitely recommend a tour over just buying tickets (and go up to the summit!).
Prepare for crowds. This tour only covers a few highlights which is only possible given the size of the museum.
Guide was excellent. Kept group together and explained a lot of history.
Summit was closed was part of my plan that I bought, at the tickets would not honor the voucher did get to go on cruise
Ana B was a great guide! Would recommend this tour. Very knowledgeable and interesting
Ana B was a great tour guide! Would recommend highly
Yusra was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining.
Great guide Angela! Very helpful and full of energy with her dance vibes!! Would definitely do it again
Our guide was very nice and sweet nature. The important thing to know on this tour is there is just expected to be long wait times to get up to the elevator line for the Eiffel Tower. It is obviously a very popular attraction. Its limited numbers can get on the elevator at a time. So I don’t think it’s avoidable. We were in line for about an hour before we actually hate it into the tower itself. After that, it was fine and it was a good experience. So unfortunately, the guide’s main responsibility was to keep us entertained for that one hour that we were standing in a long line. Afterwards or even before, you can opt to do the cruise, which is very pleasant. Not sure if this price point of $140 per person seems appropriate.
Was perfect. Angela said us everything and interesting info.
It was amazing. The guide Ami was really nice and brought a lot of good information.
Exceptional nice informative. Loved it.😊❤️
Yusrya was very knowledgeable and helpful! The tour was a little longer of standing around inside than we expected, but it was still enjoyable! The views were beautiful!
was wonderful very informative loved it.
Our guide Ana B saved the day that suddenly turned rainy and cold. Her resilience in continuing the tour, giving all the history and explanations despite the rain, cold winds and reduced visibility was very much appreciated! And as the rainy reduced to a slight drizzle, the views from the top surely iced this cake!!
We had a wonderful experience on our guided Eiffel Tower tour with Ana B. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. We learned a lot about the Eiffel Tower and its history. It was definitely a worthwhile experience, and we would highly recommend Ana!
Angela was our guide and she was terrific. She was a true leader, always made sure we got thru security and lifts. Imparting friendly banter and knowledge of the Eiffel Tower and it's creation. Views from the Summit were awesome.
Hoping that your Uber or taxi know the area well enough to put you in the right place. After the tour was over, the Uber switched drivers twice and the 3rd one was a charm.
We really enjoyed our tour with Amit! We liked his sense of humor, knowledge of the Eiffel Tower, the photos he shared, and he spoke great English. We would recommend!
Our family had such a fun and educational experience with our amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable guide Yusra!
Great day. Melanie had us very organized and provided excellent info while leaving plenty of time to explore on our own.
Experience was great esp the person who showed around but felt guided Eiffel Tower was very short. The river cruise was very good.
Angela A. was an excellent guide. She demonstrated proficient knowledge paired with enthusiasm and positive energy.
Great way to see Paris from the top. Tour with elevator was canceled due to heat but was able to climb the stairs to the second floor. Glad we were able to enjoy the experience.
We enjoyed our visit with Ana Bauk. She was very knowledgeable and full of tips for our trip in Paris.
We had the most amazing experience with our absolutely incredible and talented guide, Ana B., ever. She not only introduced us to the history of the tower itself, but also let us know the history of the whole city. These two hours flew by because of how fluently the conversation went and how friendly, respectful and welcoming Ana was. When I come to Paris next time, we’d definitely want to get a tour by her as well. Thanks a lot to City Wonders!
We had Ana as our guide. She was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the Eiffel Tower. We really enjoyed our tour! Don’t skip the summit! Very cool experience.
Our 3 o'clock tour didn't even get us on the elecator to the tower until after 4:30 which made it impossible for us to enjoy the sights from the 2nd platform, descend the elevator, walk out of the tower park area, cross a busy street and descend to the pier for the optional Seine boat ride by 5:15 departure. My wife and I are in our 70's and walk with vmcanes, but even able bodied persons would have had difficulty making that happen. The elevator delays alone made it problematic. For anyone booking a 4 pm time slot, Viator should caution that participants should take the 2 pm Seine River cruise departure to ensure being able to enjoy both bookings. Also the instructions of the address of the meetup was an apartment building, instead of around the corner on an open street. (Instructions detailed a Viator booth which didn't exist)
Excellent tour. Guide was awesome and gave great history and information regarding the Eiffel Tower. Definitely worth doing!!!
Worst ever operator.We booked Eiffel Tower Top with them and we reached almost 10 minutes before the departure and we can’t find any office nor any guide.We immediately rushed to Eiffel Tower entrance almost 50 meters hoping to find someone with some name of tour operator.No one.We convinced someone to use their phone to call number in the online tickets.After long waiting,someone came and offered us another slot after two days as it was useless as we had all the booking for remaining journey. Also when we checked summit tickets at official place below the tower,it’s almost half of what this Travel Misadvisor are offering with this local travel agency. Please avoid them
Our guide with the 4:30 tower tour, Dee, was excellent. Fun, informative and engaging. Our disappointment came when we went to get the tickets for the river cruise only to find out that boat was full and we’d have to wait an hour for the next cruise. We’d been up all night flying and chose not to wait.
The paris view from Eiffel Tower is amazing. Our Guide - Sankalp was informative
Maria was very sweet and very informative. The tour was amazing
Very pleasant & informative tour in spite of the hectic crowd. Anna the guide was great! Highly recommended.
Our tour guide, Hendrik, was friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable! We learned many facts and he added in humor along the way. Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute with him. Thank you!!
Extremely overpriced and misleading experience. Skip this tour operator entirely and book directly through the Eiffel Tower—you’ll save money and avoid unnecessary hassle. We booked a 4:30 p.m. tour, only to be told after purchase that the Seine boat cruise could only be scheduled earlier that same day (impractical since we had just arrived) or pushed to the following day. As a result, we were unable to use a key part of what we paid for. To make matters worse, even though the tour operator suggested requesting a partial refund, that request was denied. While the Eiffel Tower portion itself was fine, the missed boat cruise and customer service were very disappointing. Save yourself the frustration: book directly and enjoy the experience on your own terms.
