It was okay. Our guide Henry was amazing, only issues were with weather. The top of the tower was closed due to wind. The cruise was not good at all, but that was due to extremely high water level making our trip super short and missing the big attractions. So I think if you had a good day it would’ve been absolutely terrific

Friendly guide who taught us a lot about Paris and the Eiffel Tower. Beautiful view from the top. Boat ride can be done at another time/date should you wish not to do it after the tour - this I thought was an excellent option as our tour was for late in the evening.

Our guide, Sam, was excellent, informative, and funny. A lot of small hiccup, not on his part, and he was able to adjust accordingly. He is an experienced guide and if you are able to get him, please enjoy your trip. The cruise is also very enjoyable, but can’t beat the view once you get to the top of the tower!
