I learned in advance that I could definitely climb the Eiffel Tower if I made a reservation. Reservations on the official website were already sold out, so I decided to take this tour. Gather in front of a cafe near the Eiffel Tower, walk with the tour members to the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and tour to the elevator. The rest is free movement. We were the only Japanese, but there was no problem at all. If you stick to the meeting time, there should be no problem.

I bought this ticket since Eiffel Tower tickets to the Summit were sold out through the Tower’s website. The Summit, and the Tower itself, was great and I’m very glad to have gone. We did seem to miss much of the line. Sami, our guide also met me in advance to give me the ticket for the Seine cruise, since I couldn’t go afterwards. He walked me down to the boat and provided very helpful guidance. He made the extra cost worthwhile. Thank you Sami!

Meeting point and handing over the vouchers at the cafe worked well. We were accompanied by the two guides to the admission control at the Eiffel Tower. Waiting time for check-in approx. 20-30 minutes. (so far OK). The line next to it was much longer in the early morning (9:00 a.m.) and progressed slowly. Inside you were on your own, but with the elevator to the 2nd floor everything went very easily and quickly. The elevator to the top was also easy to get to. The view from the top is great and cannot be compared to that from the 2nd floor. The voucher for the shipping actually had no advantages. There was almost no line at the checkout. And the queue for people with a ticket or voucher here was the same. Waiting time again about 30 minutes. What wasn't so nice on the ship is that from deck you also sit on benches facing the starboard or port side, which restricts your view. Value for money: well
