We happed to be walking around trying to find it when a Scottish woman who was also taking the tour informed us to go to the end of the street corner and wait. The guide didn’t have a sign or flag or anything to indicate she was the guide. The guide herself was wonderful.”

The guide explains how security will works and shares some valuable information with the ground then he walks you in to the second floor and you’re on your own (which we appreciated). The views of the city are incredible and going to the summit even though it was nerve wracking, it was worth it.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,310 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $483

Spend one Paris evening moving from a three-course Seine dinner cruise to the Eiffel Tower’s second floor and the Moulin Rouge Féerie show.

“Moulin rouge great Eifel tower was good The cruise was spoilt by really poor food and a menu with add ons which is hard to justify when original cost very high”
