CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5I had a wonderful experience visiting the Eiffel Tower. The whole experience was well organized, and the highlight was having such a kind and considerate guide. They were very helpful, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the visit. The guide shared interesting information about the Eiffel Tower and helped make the experience even more memorable. It was a fantastic day and a beautiful way to discover one of Paris’s most iconic landmarks.MMevashnee N
GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago4/5Good tour however guide didn't come to the summit with us. Also poor communication regarding change of venue resulting in delayed start and additional walking to meet guide. Headout admin team refused to acknowledge that there was a venue change - comms need to improveMMatts E
