Really enjoyed it. Guide was excellent and v helpful. We booked both Eiffel tower and boat trip to do both in the same evening. However the boat trips end at 9.30pm so we could only do Eiffel tower that night and had to go back next day to do the boat trip. Which worked out fine but would have been an issue if we were going home the next day.

We booked a 20:45 tour for the Eiffel Tower, and everything went perfectly! Highly recommend a night-tour, as the experience was much more magical when the tower was all lit up. We chose to do the river cruise earlier in the day, and it was easy to stop by the office to exchange our vouchers for tickets. The staff at the desk were friendly and helpful. Cruise was well-organized, easy to find, and ran smoothly. The tower tour guides were at the meeting point early to get everyone checked in and divided into their groups. Our guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and was also very kindly providing side-bar Spanish translation to one couple in addition to the English tour. He took us through the security checkpoints with clear instructions, and there were no protocol surprises. Once up at the top, our guide took care to point out the various landmarks and provide relevant history and stories. Overall value: Top-notch for what we paid. Would do again!

Probably the best way to tour the Eiffel Tower, with a group you don’t have to wait in lines that can be very long on the ground. In September 2022, there are several significant restorations going on in top (3rd) floor of the tower, so only able to reach the second floor. That said, the second floor is still higher than most of Paris so it is likely the best view of the tower. It can be very crowded at any time, but still enjoyable visit. The seine cruise portion was ok. If you are on the lower level of the boat, you won’t see many of the monuments they refer to. If you’re upstairs on deck, it can be blazing hot in sunshine. But an hour was the right length of time, and it was a pleasant trip.
