The Chinese-speaking tour guide did not show up that day. Fortunately, there was an English-speaking tour guide on site, and he followed us to complete the entire trip! What's even more special is that when I visited the souvenir shop, staff suddenly appeared and drove everyone out. Later, when I came out, I found that there was an emergency broadcast, and the whole place was cleared except for the staff! All I can say is that luckily the visit has been completed!
ana the tour guide was very kind and also shared with us endless amount of information very informing and interesting to listen to and also the climb was not too hard and views were incredible’
It was a great experience but climbing the stairs was tiring. If you have the energy, you can choose this itinerary. The guide explained it in detail! !
The tour guide described the Eiffel Tower and the city in great detail. If you choose this tour, you need to save your energy to climb the Eiffel Tower. The view from the top floor is really beautiful.
It was an amazing experience! I booked the 9:15am appointment and it was perfect as there aren't many people yet. The climb was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. When we got to the top, it took my breath away. A must-try!
The tour guide will help you buy tickets on the spot. Unfortunately, you can’t go up to the top of the tower today (maybe because of the large number of people). Although you still have to wait in line to buy tickets and go through security, the tour guide will continue to introduce the history and stories of the tower during the process, and will also interact with participating tourists. We happened to attend the 15:30 pm session, and when we climbed to the second floor, we were about to watch the sunset. We saw the sunset all the way from the afternoon during the day to the night view, which was a great time. After boarding the first floor, you can continue to follow the tour guide and listen to his introduction, or you can rush directly to the second floor (in order to catch the sunset view, we left the group and left the tour guide on the first floor). Basically, you will be there after the tour guide’s introduction on the second floor. Let people move freely. Although the itinerary we booked included tickets to go to the top of the tower, unfortunately we couldn’t go up today. The tour guide would provide us with a QR code to apply for a refund for not going to the top of the tower. Recommend this itinerary!
incredible experience to the 1st level of tower by stairs !!
There are 704 steps in total to go up to the second floor from the ground, which requires a little physical strength. Remember to book a trip to the summit. People will regret it if they don’t even spend a little money to go up! There is an elevator from the second floor to the top of the tower. When I booked the trip, the price of the package with and without the cruise was the same, so I took the additional cruise. The cruise ticket is sent to you by email. After you finish walking the Eiffel Tower, you can go to the pier and upload the ticket directly in the email. The cruise ticket is valid for one year. If you are not free on the same day, you can go there after two days. .
The whole experience is great, especially the tour guide named Sagar. Very impressed of his funny and interactive way to share the history of Eiffel Tower.
The tour guide was very professional and explained a lot about the history of the Eiffel Tower in France and the surrounding attractions in Paris. If you have any questions, he is happy to share his experience. ㄧI was a little worried about whether I would have to climb the stairs to the afterlife. It was not as difficult as I thought. Maybe I would have strong legs the next day...
