I was able to access the tickets easily. We understood the guided tour duration was 1 hour 30 minutes. The guide spook with us as we took 5 min walk to the tower. After the guide took us up to the 2nd floor the guided part of the tour was over.

We lucked out being the only one on the tour and it was the night of my 40th birthday- it felt so special! Rafael was a fantastic guide- he walked us up through some beautiful photo spots, took lots of pictures of my husband and I, and answered all of our questions not just about the Eiffel Tower but about life in Paris. It wasn't a crowded night but it was still so nice to follow someone who knew exactly where to go and just be able to take it all in. Highly recommend this experience!

What a great experience from start to finish almost :) we started the tour outside the pick up address and like most we arrived early tami the tour guide was amazing but she was just filling in as Abbie our actual guide was running late due to metro issue. That being said tami was amazing got us through security and to the lift quickly and efficiently. Abbie arrived just as we where about to board the lift very apologetic and with her note book in hand proceeded to take our tour with an abundance of information. We loved it the kids loved it and it was an amazing experience we will never forget. Thinking of doing one I'd definitely recommend it the Eiffel Tower is a must!

I am happy with this experience because it was one of my wife's birthday presents-she was really happy and that's what counts! Unfortunately, however, I must observe that the one and a half hour wait to go up the tower was really too long and inexplicable! Especially since having already bought tickets we should have had priority. Luckily we had a very nice and very good guide Mademoiselle LIZ who entertained us by telling us the history of Eiffel, many funny stories and many anecdotes that made the wait less heavy.

The whole experience was awesome starting with not having to queue up to get in, skipping the lines enabled us spend more time touring the tour itself. The guide gave the history of the tour which gave an insight on how the tower got to look the way it does today. The view...breathtaking I loved the lights show too

Efi our tour guide made the experience very enjoyable and was very knowledgeable in the information he provided. He took time and made the effort to inclue everybody in the tour. The weather took a turn for the worse but actually made it more enjoyable. We got to experience a storm whilst at the summit and it made the experience all the more memorable.

Our tour Guide, Sol, was a 10/10! Her english was clear and easy to understand. Her enthusiasm was great! She was patient, informed, with an engaging delivery of the information. She was eager to answer any questions, made sure our group of 7 was kept together, patiently acted as photographer for everyone in the group, and provided a great history of the tower. The boat ride was pleasant, but with much less info provided about the buildings along the way.

Everything went smoothly according to the program I received by email. Our guide Daniela was a great help, she gave us all the important information, told us the historical course of events and was very helpful at all times. The view of Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower is something you should not miss, as is the boat cruise on the Seine River.

Our guide Nihad (Headout/Experience First) was very good! He made the 2.5 hour wait, including 2 hours to get on the lift, more pleasant with good entertainment. Despite having booked a ticket and guide, we had to wait a long time. You would have had the same waiting time even without a reservation. This was not apparent anywhere beforehand. There were hundreds of people with reservations at the meeting point. However, the organization and division into small groups of about 15 was very good. Waiting time at the first security entrance was short. The elevator is clearly a bottleneck. Regardless of whether you have a reservation or not!

I didn't realize that we would have to queue for over 2 hours despite having tickets. Just as long as everyone else. My girlfriend couldn't be there. As no ticket was bought for her on site for the ascent/elevator, I would at least have expected the ticket price for her (€27.50) to be refunded (after all, the organizer saved the money). The guide Freddy made the waiting time entertaining, was funny and friendly.

Very pleasant visit, not heavy and with the experience of climbing the tower on foot! Much better and authentic than doing it in the immediacy of the elevator. Cherles' commentary was detailed but not heavy or long. Ideal length so as not to bore and leave you wanting more, if you want to go deeper. It does not stop too much anywhere, which is good considering the overcrowding of the monument.

See Paris from two iconic perspectives—soar above the city at the Eiffel Tower and cruise past landmarks on the Seine.

- Upgrades: Upgrade to summit access for truly breathtaking views from 905 feet above Paris. While the second floor offers incredible views, the summit provides an even more spectacular vantage point, plus access to the Champagne Bar at the top.

Simple online booking, although very negative reviews for headout can be read on the net. I risked it anyway, due to positive experience and YES!!!!!!!, the booked guided tours Eiffel Tower to the top and boat tour on the Seine were a mega experience. What I would particularly like to mention is that after booking I received super good instructions on how everything would proceed. Right down to the last detail and what can I say, that makes a city tour relaxed. Thanks to headout!!!👍 By the way, many thanks to Nihad, our tour guide that day, who managed to bridge the waiting time in a friendly, funny and informative way! THANK YOU!!!

Although i had the eiffel tour completed in time (daniela as guide was good), there was an issue with the river cruise. I spent more than 2 hours going back and forth, talking with the support via the chat and trying to get valid tickets, something that ruined the rest of my schedule during that day. Also, many times the chat was timing out due to no action happening, making me enter the login details from the beginning. The good part was that someone from support was on the chat, even after some minutes delay.

The guide told through a fun quiz all kinds of facts about the Eiffel Tower, otherwise everything was well organized and partly because of that we were able to enjoy it enormously!

The ticket experience was good. The tour guide person was helpful and knowledgeable but I wish he would stay with us longer and would come to the top of the tower and explain about the city from that point.

Checkin was a little confusing; almost missed getting the information on how to access the boat cruise. Once the tour started, our Guide was excellent and shared some great info about the Eiffel Tower. Liked that he shared it all and then we were free to explore on our own. Line-ups for elevator were as expected, so be prepared to stand for awhile.

Everything was on time, our guide Sonia gave us a very calm experience and united the group, which was very different, she was very kind and gave us a lot of information not only about the tower but also about the city of Paris, I loved it!

Labeled "Eiffel Tower Guided Tour by Elevator", it was more like a "Hosted Tour" with some splashes of "Guiding". We did skip some lines, and had a generally good experience, but we expected a lot more guiding than what we got.

Our guide was sensational !!! She has a great deal of specialist knowledge and was able to convey this in such a cheerful and upbeat way that it was fun to listen to her. She made the tour so much fun with her manner and the quiz was great fun.

We thought that the tour would be guided the whole time. It was written in the mail that it is a guided tour that lasts 2 hours. Nowhere was it written that the tour guide would leave us at the Eiffel Tower, and no one said that you could then stay at the Eiffel Tower as long as you wanted, that you could simply do the boat tour at some point, e.g. days / weeks later, that we would not arrive back at the boat tour on the Seine where the stopping point is where you left the boat tour. Suddenly we docked at another boat and had to get off because the tour supposedly ended here for us. We had to walk back a long way to get back to the starting point. There was a link to the navigation to the meeting point for the ascent to the Eiffel Tower but no navigation to the boat dock. No more guidance. We lacked all this information. Therefore we were very disappointed and would not book a tour with them again and would not recommend them to others. Quite the opposite . We paid just under €100 per person for it. I think you can provide all this information about how it really works. Then we wouldn't have had to be so annoyed and we would have saved ourselves a few kilometers on the way back.

I broke my foot several days before and I was not allowed to go past the first or second level because of it. The rest of my family travelled to the top. Our guide, Mathias from Argentina was terrific and very nice. They wouldn't allow me to go to the top because they were afraid of an evacuation that I wouldn't be able to take the stairs, but meanwhile, they told me to take the stairs down one level and there was no other way to get down. Plus, I had a walking boot. As a result, my husband got separated from us and we had to wait an hour to reunite the whole family because I couldn't stay with them.

What a wonderful experience! It is on the first floor of the Eiffel tower, so you get the incredible experience of taking the elevator up. And then, when you get there, you have an amazing meal of white asparagus with caviar, a fruit and meringue dessert, and other phenomenal foods. Definitely book at least a month in advance if possible. Laissez les bon temps!

This was an extraordianry evening. The meal was fantastic, The service impeccable. My one caveat is that they need to figure out how to get guests to the restaurant in a timely fashion. We arrived when it was suggested and because of the number of people in line to use the lift, we did not arrive in the resatuarnat until very close to 7:00 p.m. I felt sorry for the staff who had to get us all served before the 8:00 p.m. group arrived.

I am happy with this experience because it was one of my wife's birthday presents-she was really happy and that's what counts! Unfortunately, however, I must observe that the one and a half hour wait to go up the tower was really too long and inexplicable! Especially since having already bought tickets we should have had priority. Luckily we had a very nice and very good guide Mademoiselle LIZ who entertained us by telling us the history of Eiffel, many funny stories and many anecdotes that made the wait less heavy.

Our tour was the 9Pm which eliminates the crowds and provides easy, quick, and the most amount of time visiting this historical icon of engineering architecture.

It would be nice to have a timeline available. You may "only" enter the grounds 2 hours before dinner starts. You may only pick up elevator ticket 45 minutes before dinner starts. You really may not enter restaurant until dinner start time. Nice to know that people can take elevator to prayers from second floor (elevator comes from second floor and is already full, and then obviously staff goes first). Not very .... but nice to know. ! About 10 before first security

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.

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 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.

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.

I visited the Louvre Museum with an advanced ticket, which made entry quick and smooth—just 15 minutes to get inside. The museum is massive, spread across seven floors, and you need at least three hours to explore it properly. If you're in Paris, alongside the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre is like a souvenir you simply can't miss. The experience was incredible! It takes you on a journey from 200 BC to the 20th century, showcasing hidden gems that have never seen sunlight. The sheer history and artistry within its walls make it an unforgettable visit. Highly recommended!

It is the most interesting museum, and with the audio guide you are immersed in the history of the paintings, it would just need to be better organized for the viewing of the Mona Lisa, to give everyone a way to be able to see it from the front... All in all, a very good experience.

The tour was great it was evening and we had Liz as a guide who did a great job (the story about the Eiffel Tower as well as passing the controls and checkout. We didn't have to worry about anything.

It was my 2nd visit of Versailles. Entrance was really well organized, even there were so many people ( Easter weekend ) , we came into the palace earlier our time. You can take audioguide , 5€. We spent around 3 hours inside and then walked in the garden . If it would be no rain I guess could walk some hours or take golfcar (40€/h) .

Everything was fine with the ticket and the service, they even called to make sure I didn't have any questions. I received the ticket again via WhatsApp the day before, so everything was really on the safe side. The castle itself is overrated for me, there are more beautiful places in Paris and the surrounding area. The garden is beautiful and really worth seeing and lovingly designed.

Our tour guide was incredibly warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable at the ripe age of 25. Liam is pursuing a wondrous future and shares that energy in his tours. The meet up point is a souvenir shop adjacent to some of Paris's best culinary experiences. Our tour was the 9Pm which eliminates the crowds and provides easy, quick, and the most amount of time visiting this historical icon of engineering architecture. We strongly recommend this tour and paying the extra to have a personal experience above and beyond a walk in visit without a tour. Thank you, Liam for a wonderful time together.

Why visit the Eiffel Tower during Christmas
Exploring this winter wonderland
The Eiffel Tower during Christmas spells “It’s the most wonderful time of the year…” as it transforms into the Iron Lady in her festive finery – it’s the stuff of storybooks. Think illuminated gardens, a charming Christmas market offering delicious treats and handcrafted gifts, and the tower decked out in holiday colors.
Top things to do at the Eiffel Tower during Christmas
1. Shop ‘til you drop at the Christmas market
Feel like you’re shooting for a montage scene in a feel-good movie as you’re browsing through the many stalls at the Christmas Village market, which is put up at walking distance from the Eiffel Tower on Quai Branly. You can glance over all things of the holiday season, from charming trinkets to foods, goodies, and vendors selling a warm cup of vin chaud (mulled wine).
2. Brunching the Jules Verne way
If you haven’t planned how to spend your Xmas days, then think no more. Pop into Le Jules Verne restaurant for a brunch date with your partner, friends, or family, or just fly solo. As you watch the sprawling city view from the second floor of the Eiffel, the special menus (with Sea-bass fillet, Joinville-style prawns, and truffled farm-made “Meaux” brie) and traditional fare will add some extra pixie dust to your day.
3. Dining at Monsieur Bleu
The worst part about the arrival of Christmas is that it ends, so finish off your day on a bright note by having dinner at the Monsieur Bleu restaurant! It is located across the Seine River from the Eiffel, so as you dig into a classic French gourmet meal with dishes like langoustine and foie gras ravioli, filet of sea bass and exotic fruit pavlova, the breathtaking panorama of the best in Paris will keep you company.
4. The Trocadéro Gardens mass calling
We know by now that Christmas in Paris is something else. However, to get a real feel for the city's spirit, you must attend the Christmas Day mass at the Trocadéro Gardens. With the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop, being in the crowd with others is truly a unique and spiritual experience. After the mass, soak in the festive atmosphere as you stroll through the Christmas market, brimming with holiday cheer.
5. Magic of the Eiffel lights
Granted, the Eiffel Tower is a dazzler all year round, but during Christmas, it sparkles a little bit more. With themed decor to lighten up the apple of Paris, the tower is bedecked head to toe in holiday regalia.
6. The tour of the tower
What could be better than spending this holiday the good old way, by taking a little tour of the Iron Lady herself? As a local expert guide helps you nosedive into the rich history of the Eiffel Tower, including some Xmas special tidbits, you can cross this item off your bucket list once done.
Read more about Eiffel
7. A picnic for two
Nothing beats a sweet, relaxed start to the holiday season where you spread a picnic blanket on the Champ de Mars lawn and unpack your hot lunch out of your wicker basket! As the festival is all about celebrating togetherness and all things joy- a picnic sits right with the theme of merriment.
8. Cruising on Christmas
Craving vacation-like feels as you begin your well-deserved break from your job for Christmas? Hop on a Seine River cruise that lets you enjoy the views of the Eiffel Tower as you admire the Parisian landmarks like Notre Dame, the Louvre and Orsay Museum and indulge in a chic dining experience on your boat.

We lucked out being the only one on the tour and it was the night of my 40th birthday- it felt so special! Rafael was a fantastic guide- he walked us up through some beautiful photo spots, took lots of pictures of my husband and I, and answered all of our questions not just about the Eiffel Tower but about life in Paris. It wasn't a crowded night but it was still so nice to follow someone who knew exactly where to go and just be able to take it all in. Highly recommend this experience!
