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.

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!

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.

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!!!

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.

A very good experience. We knew that we had to stand in line and that we were not a 100% sure that we could reach the summit. Our guide Mash were entertaining us, telling a lot about the tower and other stuff the 90 minutes we had to wait. The climbing was easy, but fun and we did reach the summit. Can really recommend having a guide if the lines are like this weekend.

The tour guide was excellent. Bit unorganised by the event team giving us the wrong meeting location so could have easily missed it but luckily around the corner from arranged meeting place we saw a group of people and realised it may be our guide. Tower was excellent

See Paris from two iconic perspectives—soar above the city at the Eiffel Tower and cruise past landmarks on the Seine.
- Everything you get at the Eiffel Tower: Take the elevator to the second floor at 377 feet and during the ride, let your guide tell you intriguing stories about the tower's past. On your way down, stop at the first-floor glass platform for a stunning view.
- Everything you get on the Seine River cruise: Glide along the Seine on a 1-hour cruise near the Eiffel Tower, taking in stunning views of Parisian landmarks. Listen to live commentary as you pass under historic bridges, including the Pont Neuf.
- Why choose this combo: Experience Paris from two unique angles with a single cost-effective booking. The Eiffel and Seine are just 5 minutes apart, ensuring a seamless experience with no extra travel time.
- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. With not so pleasant greetings Petra Krüler

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Arriving 30 minutes later than our ticket, we were able to avoid a good part of the queue. The Louvre is as beautiful for its collections as for its architecture and decorations.

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.

Reliving the moments of history. I did not like the lack of information. Going in at 3:30 pm they could have communicated that the trianon closed at 6:45 pm at least we would have gone to the trianon first and then to the gardens.

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.

First it started with the purchase of headout, it was actually very pleasant and fast. Since I didn't know how the process works and didn't get a Qr code, I asked for it and got it within 5 minutes. I found it top 1A and would book again in the future. 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. P.s. You don't need a Qr code, the name and booking number will be sent. Thank you very much

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Eiffel Tower guided tours
In which languages are guided tours conducted?
Guided tours are most commonly available in English and French, but many operators offer tours in other languages, such as Spanish, German, Italian, and Mandarin. Always check with the tour provider to ensure your preferred language is available.
Why do guided tours cost more?
Guided tours are priced higher due to expert commentary, skip-the-line access, and a structured itinerary that enhances your experience. The cost also covers small group sizes, convenience, and sometimes additional perks like summit access or combo tours.
How long does an Eiffel Tower guided tour last?
Most guided tours last between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on the itinerary. Tours covering the summit may take slightly longer, while private tours can be tailored to fit your schedule.
What is the best time to take a guided tour of the Eiffel Tower?
The best time for a guided tour is either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. These times help you avoid peak crowds and allow for better lighting, especially if you plan to take photos. Evening tours offer the added charm of seeing Paris lit up, making them a magical option.
Are Eiffel Tower guided tours wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the Eiffel Tower is equipped with elevators and accessible pathways, making it wheelchair-friendly. However, the summit’s open-air platforms might present some challenges due to space and weather conditions. It’s best to confirm accessibility details with your tour provider in advance.
Where do I meet my guide for the tour?
Meeting points vary depending on the tour operator. Typically, guides meet participants at the base of the tower near the esplanade or a nearby landmark. Details about the meeting location and time will be provided when you book your tour.
Can I take photos during the tour?
Absolutely! Photography is encouraged throughout the tour, especially on the second floor and summit, where the panoramic views of Paris are breathtaking. Your guide can also suggest the best spots for capturing memorable shots.
Can I take the stairs instead of the elevator?
Yes, some guided tours offer the option to climb the stairs. This experience provides a unique perspective of the tower’s structure and is a rewarding challenge. Keep in mind that climbing to the second floor involves 674 steps, so it’s best suited for those in good physical condition.
