Eiffel Tower tour was great Ana did a wonderful job giving the history of the Tower. However, the river cruise was ok - they would not give us our Champagne because we did not have a voucher. We thought the river cruise was going to be informative.
Great Experience

We had a great experience on this tour. We got to the meeting place early so the guide was not yet there. The exact location of the meeting place was a little confusing, perhaps put a picture of the exact statue to meet at. The river cruise was very relaxing. After the cruise we proceeded to the Eiffel Tower, our guide was very informative and had a real sense of humor. We booked this particular tour so we could skip the line and take the elevator to the second level because our time in Paris was limited. We would totally recommend this tour!

This was a great overall tour that included a river cruise up and down the Seine and then up to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. Our guide for the tower was very knowledgeable and friendly. We scheduled the last available tour to go up the tower so that we would be nearby for the 10pm lights. I'd recommend that option if you're looking to see the tower sparkle.
Fantastic tour!

Our tour started with a river cruise which was “guided”. However our guide came sat with us and basically made it guided. Telling us about a lot of the history of the area and buildings.
As our cruise was ending storm clouds and lighting came upon us. As we headed to the tower the sky opened up like nothing I’ve seen in my life. It was very unsettling as I had my wife and daughter with me. And I didn’t know what to do. The taxis disappeared. Our guide could have left us there. But no he brought us the subway helped us acquire tickets. Then our train shut down due to flooding. So He found us another train that eventually got us to our hotel. He wasn’t a guide that night, he was our guardian. I will be forever thankful to him. His name HAFID ASSAOUI. And you are lucky to have him in your organization. THANK YOU HAFID!!!!!

I ended up getting an evening in Paris due to a canceled flight to my final destination. So, I booked this tour as a way to see as much of Paris as possible, and the short amount of time and this was the best decision! The tour was absolutely incredible With comfortable space on the boat and absolutely gorgeous sites seen from the boat. Then, the Eiffel Tower tour was also absolutely incredible, and I loved that we were able to stay up there as long as we wanted to thank you so much for a great experience! Would highly recommend this Tour to anyone!
A great evening with a boat tour and Eiffel tower visit

The River cruise was relaxing, peaceful and beautiful! Our guide shared some fun local knowledge with us about living in Paris as we saw with the locals sitting or dancing along the river. The views were great! Getting into the Eiffel Tower was a breeze with our guide. We went up around 9:30 so by the time we left it was lit up. We experienced the best of both worlds with sunset and nightfall on the tower. It was beautiful! Great way to end our days in Paris!
