Worth every penny. Angela was absolutely amazing tour guide; she was very knowledgeable and great with the kids. The climb was not bad at all. After the tour ended on the 2nd floor, we were able to descend at our leisure.

My guide Angela Anthony was fantastic. She had great energy and delivered the history of the tour in a way that kept us all intrigued. The tower itself is amazing to look up. Climbing up it was the icing on the cake. I loved everything about it.

Excellent service from the guides. There were meant to be more people but 2 big groups didn't show up, one guide went back to check, which was excellent and there were only 3 in our group. Prabhav Pranshu was our guide, and was superb, with personal insight on the Eiffel Tower.
