This was my first introduction to Headout and I really liked it. Masha was our guide, she did a great job. She told great stories and gave good directions.

It was a good way to get access to the tower without standing in the queue for tickets. After meeting the group and a quick intro we were escorted through the security. Our guide, Prabhav, was easy going and made sure to have people standing close so everyone could hear him well. He had good information about the tower itself and also a lot of historic facts about landmarks visible from the tower.

I had problems with the purchase. I thought I had paid for the full service (cruise included) but in the end it was only a visit to the tower. That generated a lot of confusion. The staff, the guides and the app service were 10/10. Completely sympathetic to all the difficulties that arose.

This was advertised as a 90 minute tour. When booking it gave no impression that the tickets had yet to be purchased for us and therefore we had to wait in a queue for close to 2 hours before even beginning to climb up the tower. With two boys very excited about the tour, it put a real dampener on the experience. It was extremely disappointing and made us question whether we actually had enough time to get up the tower before needing to catch our train. This really needs to be much clearer! Otherwise, the guide was good and gave some excellent information about the tower and stories surrounding it. He was also good with the kids (10 & 11).

Spend up to 2 hours climbing the Eiffel Tower & perhaps even its summit

Embrace the daredevil in you as you walk across the glass floor, 57 meters above ground level. Seal the deal by taking some memorable snaps. Taking to the stairs again, the higher you go, the better the view. The observation deck on the 2nd floor will have you gawking at the Notre Dame and the Champs Elysees.
