Onze Engels sprekende gids gaf veel informatie over de Eiffeltoren en Parijs tijdens de wandeling naar de ingang. Nadat we door de security en kaartcontrole waren geloodst, gingen we helemaal naar boven, waar we Parijs van alle kanten konden bekijken en er uitleg over kregen. Aanrader! Op eigen gelegenheid krijg je niet zoveel mee, als met een gids. We hadden een groep van 6, dus er was veel aandacht.

A service provider of Get Your Guide canceled our reservation less than 8 hours before we were due to go up the Eiffel. I called Get Your Guide at midnight and within 20 minutes they secured a new tour with a different service provider at a reduced price. Very happy.
