We booked this last minute as tickets were sold out through the actual booking site so you’ll definitely pay for the mark up in booking this. The tour guide was great and got us to where we needed to be, but we went off and did our own thing once we gained entry. Plenty of interesting facts on the walk up to the entry points. Meeting place was easy to find, a bit crowded but as is such when you’ve got large groups doing tours all over. If you can’t get the “authentic” tickets, this is a good place to get them.

Sam was very knowledgeable about the Eiffel tower and the surrounding areas. He was also very friendly and had a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend this tour. He also helped us understand what was expected of us during the tour, such as no photographing employees, and making sure we got through security with no issues. Make sure you get to the meet up spot at least 15 minutes prior! Be aware that in September it gets cold up on the tower so bring a jacket.
