It was a beautiful view...

It was a beautiful view but be prepared to be on your feet as soon as you arrive at the tour company’s office. There is no seating while waiting and while being assigned to a group. Everything was handled on the sidewalk. Overall the tour was fine, but I think overpriced for the limited time with the guide.

Well organised, smooth transition from meeting point to tower then onto lifts. Guide was lovely, informative and approachable

Disastrous Eiffel Tour guided tour that never happened”.

This was a disastrous trip. 1. The directions given by the viator We’re very unclear, as to where to meet and whom to meet. After two hours of making phone calls we were told a third company “Uncle Sam” will be the one to provide guide. From 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm lost. 2. Ladies in our group asked to see if there would be opportunity once inside to use restroom? They were assured there will be sufficient time. Only there was not enough time due to very long lines. Nd when we got back to the line to join our group the Eiffel Tower police did not allow us to join our group and made us stand in the line. We were told by the Uncle Sam tour coordinator that when we get to the ticket window he will provide us our tickets. By the time we got to the ticket window, the officials informed us that we will have to purchase our tickets and the elevator tickets to the top (which we had paid to Viator) were no longer available. The tour guide abandoned us and left. I traveled from Houston, Texas with my wife to Paris, France and my brother in law and his wife joined us to tour the Eiffel Tower and spend thousands on airline tickets and hotel accommodations only to be disappointed because of a pathetic experience from a substandard service provided by subsidiary of Trip Advisor who then farmed out our confidence to substandard company “Uncle Sam” I am a physician and it is difficult to arrange for a trip to begin with and place your trust in a reputable company to get disappointed. If you have any dignity, then remedy this situation.
