We meet just in from of the tower, it was easy to identify our guide and the tour started on time. Our tour guide was with us during the whole process till we reach the summit where he gave a really nice presentation showing us all the historical sites and really interesting information about Paris. Getting to the tower by your own it’s not difficult, IF you plant your visit with time and have your tickets, but the information provided by the guide make the experience more amenable! This was our first visit with the kids and we all really enjoyed it.

An absolutely great guide and if you want to go up the Eiffel Tower, absolutely recommendable. In general, you can save yourself the Eiffel Tower, the view is similar to an airplane, you stand in line for ages and with a guide you go worlds faster. The stairs to the Arc d Triumphe are much more worthwhile, more stairs, shorter queuing times and worlds better views.

Met the guide with my wife and two kids, we were given earpiece and electric gadget so we could listen to the guide while we went up the Eiffel Tower , stopped at the first landing took a few pictures then went right up to the summit everyone else took photos and walked round while I hid in a corner ( bit scared of heights) lol . Guide gave a good tour and was well worth the money we paid for the trip.
