Fantastic tour thanks to the wonderful guide Ana. She explained to us the history of Paris and its most important monuments in addition to the history of the tower. Ana spoke in a clear and slow manner always attentive to everyone's needs including my 8 year old daughter. I highly recommend her it was an experience that far exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much Ana!!!

The guide was very nice, we were worried because we were about 7 minutes late but she waited until 20 minutes so that we were all there. She explained the procedure and the history of the eiffel tower. We also had passes for the top floor and she showed us perfectly how to go up and down. Everything went very well!
