GroupVerified bookingLast week5/5It was an extraordinary tour! The guide took us from the meeting point to the security checkpoint at the Eiffel Tower, chatting with us along the way and explaining the tower’s history since its construction, as well as Parisian architecture and other interesting facts. The climb to the top was wonderful and easy. Our guide, Aladin, was very friendly and completely transformed the experience—thank you.IInes Z
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago4/5Funny anecdotes and a solid knowledge of history from our tour guide, Alexandra. Good group size. Unfortunately, she suddenly disappeared on the second floor and didn't really say goodbye. But that was okay—we're adults, after all...PPaul G
