We met up with our tour guide and the other people in our tour group at a souvenir shop about half a mile from the Eiffel Tower. This gave us a chance to get a few souvenirs at a smaller price than the shops inside the Eiffel Tower. As we walked, our tour guide told us about the origin and history of the Eiffel Tower, which was really very interesting. She guided us through security and to the elevators. Once we were on the second floor, we only stayed with the group for a short time before going out to explore on our own. The view is amazing! A trip to Paris would not be complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. We purchased the option to go up to the summit, and I feel that it was worth the extra cost. My daughter and I both share this as the highlight of our vacation. Purchasing tickets for the Eiffel Tower and having an English speaking tour guide was the right option for us; it took away any stress about not knowing where to go and what to expect from security.
Lovely tour operator, Michelle Unfortunately the summit was closed and we paid for that. Have not heard back about partial refund
Our guide, Mohammed was interactive and fun. My kids (11, 13 and 17) enjoyed the tour as much as I did. I thought we would skip the line in this tour, but we didn’t, that didn’t matter though, as the guide used the time well… And of course’s the whole tower experience was amazing!
