We were not able to do the Summit room, which was included in our price paid. I suggest when you book tours for the summit room you do early entry.

First of all, the Eiffel Tower is as impressive as expected. It is truly a marvel of engineering and the planning process of getting it completed it is like nothing ever seen. The vision that Mr. Eiffel have, the details and how thoughtful he was from beginning to end was an incredible accomplishment. I could not even find a way to comprehend this magnificent achievement of engineering those days to what we do on modern era. I felt in love with the story of The Eiffel Tower and everything that represents them and now...😍🇫🇷
