    Nice tour and discussion of the tower history. Imad was a fantastic guide. Unfortunately, the top of the tower had closed for technical issues during our scheduled time, but Get Your Guide announced this and processed a refund for that portion quickly and without our asking/prompting. Very good customer service.

    Our guide Florian has taken us on an interesting and fun tour on the Eiffel tour. A lot of inside information and fun facts have been shared by him. Very helpful, friendly, and caring about his guests, I would most definitely recommend to let him take you on one of the tours.
