Amazing experience!!! Seeing the Eiffel Tower live was so exciting. Our guide, Alexander, was very good, took pictures of us, gave us a lot of information we didn't know about this beautiful monument. Highly recommended this tour as it allowed us to skip lines at the various checkpoints.

The whole experience was spectacular! The ambiance in the restaurant was lovely, the staff warm and personable and the meal was divine. We loved every second of it. The package with champagne and wines was extra special. Highly recommend this Madame Brasserie dining experience. We had our photo taken by the photographer and these were professional quality. So happy that we went.
