Henry, our host was hugely knowledgeable and engaging, a lovely guy. Without him the long wait to go in would have been very difficult; with him the time flew. The views from the 2nd floor and summit of the Eiffel Tower were spectacular.

The meeting point was clearly communicated and the tour operators were organized and knew what they were doing. It seemed a little excessive to be there 30 minutes before tour time but it wasn't as we were there at opening and the lines were forming quickly. They kept us all together and explained the entry process well, including two different security/bag checks. The skip-the-line was helpful as tower security helped ensure that our group was able to proceed and they detained people trying to move ahead without that option. Sharon was our group guide and she was very knowledgeable and kept up with all of us even while she explained all the history of the tower. It was a great experience and I recommend Experience First for your tours. And be sure to book tickets to the Summit (by elevator). It's awesome up there.

Very good guide, but I don't understand why groups have to queue. Why aren't there specific queues?
