We were very excited and impressed! Only 30 minutes waiting time thanks to tickets with time! You shouldn't try to do everything, you can't do it in one day! We would start directly with the "Denon" grand piano! The Italian artists are much better! But also make sure you see the European/French wing! There is Napoleon's apartment and very splendid halls!

The Art is the reason to come to Paris from 7500 miles away, it is the investment made by this city over hundreds of years ago that pays off year after year as people continue continue to come to make a pilgrimage as we did on our 40th wedding anniversary. Sadly this is a once in a lifetime trip for us. We took as much as we could take in in the few days we could afford. It was terrific. A professor of mine came to do special research here after he retired. Linda and I got married a couple of years before he came to work at the Louvre. Victor Chan was a great professor at the University of Alberta with a personal collection of drawings worthy of the Louvre.

One of the highlights was certainly the guide itself. Chinelo. A fashion design student in Paris. She bridged the long wait in front of the elevator with charm and a lot of knowledge. She was entertaining, led the group well and kept us in a good mood. Especially in the annoying time before the elevators. I wish her every success and that Chinelo can guide many more people to the Eiffel Tower.

Great Experience – Even at 11 PM! We booked our Eiffel Tower visit for 11 PM because no earlier times were available — but in the end, we were glad! There were hardly any people, and we got through security and up the elevator very quickly. The night view over Paris was absolutely breathtaking. If we visit again, we definitely want to go all the way up to the third floor!

The guide and the exhibition ooook... Little loss of time to get in with group ticket skip line.... A few areas of the exhibition a bit claustrophobic due to too many people in the same place at the same time in transit. Day ..as pictured ideal weather... Super positive experience...

The Louvre was difficult to find the entry, maps and signs didn't align When we navigated to the entry, we were able to follow the maps, through the sections. Very busy, so much to see. I would need 7 days of visits to see most of your amazing museum.

We were able to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which had been closed a little earlier, thanks to the tour guide's good knowledge of the route and a bit of tact. A wow view over Paris at night, from a height of "300 m". We were also given a lot of knowledge in passing. Thanks to "Professor JD" for that!!!

The view was fantastic! Unfortunately, despite having a ticket, you still had to wait a long time to get in and the signage on how to get to the Arc de Triumphe (underground, not over the road) and how to get to the metro afterwards is very poor. This should be worked on urgently. There was a lot of chaos.

The Louvre has no equal. I had never been. We were on a pass through journey to Paris. The Reserved Access Tickets afforded us the opportunity that touched every note, getting us in efficiently on a very hot and crowded day. Guidance to and through THE most powerful exhibits in the world and an effectivie strategy for "our trip" of a life time.

Good condition for the climb. Very smooth security passage, as we had already bought our tickets the day before. Free for children under 18

The tickets were easy to book but the timings were confusing and you cannot access the schedule using the file reader so you have to just show up and hope for the best. They pack the boat tour so if you want to sit on the roof not inside then you need to get there early! Getting on and off takes a long time. The audio tour is downstairs only on little phones otherwise there is a tannoy which a few faces are read out in French, English and Spanish I believe

The Arc de Triomphe is a national symbol of Paris; also a sight to behold owing to its scale—50 m high, 45 m wide, and 22 m deep. And what’s the best way to experience a historic landmark? A guided tour.

Explore our Arc de Triomphe tour options to find the perfect experience.

Why book a guided tour?

✔️Expert commentary

Tours are led by knowledgeable professionals who bring the stories of the arch to life.  Learn about its history, construction, sculptures, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and its significance today.

✔️Interactive learning

Unlike audio guides, live tours let you ask questions and interact with your guide. Whether about its architectural features or historical events, a guide ensures your visit is packed with interesting anecdotes.

✔️FOMO, what?

On a guided tour, you never have to worry about missing out on key details. From Champs-Élysées to the Grand Palais, and finally, at the foot of the Arc de Triomphe, your guide ensures an enriching experience, filled with anecdotes and facts.

✔️Cultural connection

Your guide covers the entirety of French culture, relevant to the landmarks spotted on the walking tour. Specific to the Arc de Triomphe, from Napoleon’s vision to its impact on national pride, you learn so much.

What to expect: A short itinerary

📍Meeting point

Begin your journey with a meet-up at a central location (to the tour’s itinerary), in front of the statue of Charles de Gaulle. The tour starts with an introduction to the famous avenue—its history, landmarks, and things to look out for.

🚶Stroll along

Enjoy a leisurely walk through the avenue, learning about its transformation from royal grounds to a bustling hub of culture, shopping, and celebrations. Pick up interesting facts about the Petit Palais and the Grand Palais (exteriors) en route.

🔚End the tour

Reach the monumental roundabout—Charles de Gaulle, home to the stupendous Arc de Triomphe. Your guide will explain the symbolic importance of the monument, its intricate sculptures, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

🏙️Self-guided tour

From here, you are on your own. Enter the arch and take the stairs (or elevator) to the museum, which displays everything there is to know about the triumphal arch. Continue your climb (no elevator access) to the rooftop for expansive views of the City of Lights.

Tour highlights

Since it is a 3-hour walking tour of the Champs-Élysées, multiple landmarks are covered, including the Arc de Triomphe.

Super view. Please label better what you can see where. Clearer marking of which queue you have to join with a pre-purchased ticket.

The view from the top is superb. 360 degree view of Paris. Pre purchased tickets certainly saved a lot of time. If you can't handle the many steps, take the lift. Just ask at the security bag check and you will be escorted to lift. Then only 40 steps to the top.

The turbo pass is worthwhile for anyone who wants to get as much history as possible in Pais. You should prepare well, because most attractions still have to be reserved in advance. Clear homepage and good price performance.

The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.
