Traveler Tips

  • "Climbing the tower steps is quite easy and rewarding as you see the view gradually change as you climb." See review
  • "It's a good amount of steps to walk up to the 2nd floor, but there are breaks in between so it's not a straight walk up the 672 steps." See review

Buy the tickets yourself and google the info about the tower
Glenn_G

I only booked this tour as tickets were sold out online to find that you can buy tickets on the day at the Eiffel Tower for about €20. The guide was nice and extremely helpful and shared some basic info that you could find out from Wikipedia in about 2 minutes. The additional cost of the tour on top of the cost of ticket cost is not worth it.

Excellent tour, if you appreciate help navigating an attraction in a foreign country. Climb was not easy, but manageable even for an out-of-shape guy in late 50s with slight fear of heights. View from top platform was incredible.

I wasn't sure if my husband and was able to climb due knee surgery 6 months prior and pulled hamstrings a week before but we made it to 2nd with no issues. Our guide was very knowledgeable and a pleasant to be around. It was a great experience and we totally do it again if we come back to Paris.

Guide went the extra mile

Our guide went the extra mile and even tried to explain some parts of the history in English to some of us. The only negative part was that a microphone was lacking and guide should have a better control of their tourists.

Good, but…
Anne_F

Pros - easy getting through the lines; stairs were very doable, even for kids; stairs were much easy and faster getting down than the elevator from the second level; definitely worth the extra $ to go all the way to the top! Cons - one of the guides didn’t show up so we didn’t get an actual tour, which was disappointing. To the credit of the tour company, they quickly refunded a portion of the ticket price.

Thanks for your review. I'm very happy to hear that the process was easy : ) It's always frustrating for us when something which is out of our control impedes on the experience for our guests, as in the case of a guide having to cancel at the last minute. I am happy again to hear that you received your partial refund quickly. I appreciate that you detailed the things which we could control went well : ) Thanks again and as a thank you for your time and as a courtesy for the missed guided portion I would love to have you as my guest on a walking tour. Let us know if you want this, Best regards, Linda

Climb the Tower
Edie_M

The tour group was easy to find and well organized. We were able to get to the start of climbing the steps in about 30 minutes. I enjoyed the climbing experience and feel it was better than taking the elevator. The guide was attentive and informative. We opted for the summit ticket and it was totally worth it. You take the stairs up to the first level, then to the second level and an elevator to the third level. The guide leaves you at the second level and you can spend as much time as you like in the tower. There are toilets, food, beverages and gift shops available inside the tower.

The climb was magnificent but there was no value added by the use of a guide....we climbed and learned more by googling as we stood in line (which we could've done without paying). The guide was so nice and likely knew a lot but didn't offer a lot of insight. She had to manage FAR too many people to be able to be conversant with us or the group as a whole.

Thanks for this feedback and also for the praise for your guide. What is her name so I can credit her for doing a good job and also help her to improve where you found her lacking. I have followed up with the team about the group size for your tour and found that in fact there was a guide who called in sick and so our other wonderful guides agreed to pick up the extra guests rather than have us cancel. Please reach out to me at info@exp1.com, attention Linda, and I will do something special for you as a thank you for your helpful feedback. Safe travels, Linda
