This was great fun. The guide was nice and explained everything continually. The food was good, and the experience was really fun. The river cruise was lovely, and then the Eiffel Tower was wonderful. A really enjoyable evening! We would definitely would do this again.

With a short layover in Paris, we thought this would be an efficient way to get to see the highlights. We hit a home run with this one! Our hostess was helpful and friendly. The food was very good, we met some interesting folks, and the cruise was good in spite of the rain. They quickly raised the windows.

The meal in the Eiffel Tower was really lovely. Unfortunately it was raining so queuing outside wasn't brilliant - but that can't be helped. The meal, the experience and restaurant was great! I wasn't thrilled about the cruise because I'd spent the last two days touring Paris so the cruise basically repeated everything but we did get to see the Eiffel Tower illuminated and sparkle which was beautiful - was definitely worth doing!

I thought this tour was good, but the guide emphatic enough, didn't tell us about the flashing lights on the hour, etc. It seemed we were on our own too long.

Dinner was wonderful, it was my best birthday dinner so far. Very nice bus ride and the cruise was also nice and informative. A little chilly though. I would definitely recommend this, especially if this is your first visit to Paris.

We all had a wonderful time, but the waiters at the Eiffel tower were rude. We also thought that the tour guide should have had the tickets for the elevator before we got there. We didn't feel that we should have to wait on line.

We enjoyed this. A little touristy, but every now and then it's important to try these things. This exceeded our expectations.

Great experience, but we wish we could have been seated on the outside of the tower, rather than the inside without a good view.

Hostess failed to find us at the meeting point. She gave us our tickets for the cruise, which was nice, but was not part of this particular group. Food not so great, and we were asked to leave the restaurant. We had 3 hours to spare between dinner and cruise.

It was raining, so not the best conditions. I was not happy with communication en route to the Eiffel Tower concerning how to return to start point if you missed the bus. Very hurried to get to the cruise...too much money for that. Food was fine, but very rushed.

We didn't get to the Eiffel Tower for dinner until a little after 7, and the dinner felt rushed, plus we had no time to go up in to the upper levels. The tower is just beyond awesome, and we were looking forward to more time there. The cruise was amazing! After the cruise, we had an issue along with another couple who did not have a ticket for the Moulin Rouge and did not care to go on that trip. We were left at the Eiffel Tower to find our own way back. I felt we paid enough for the tour for the transportation to be two ways, not just there. So all dressed up, we took the Metro back to our apartment. The bus driver acted like he did not help with directions. Very disappointing ending to what we hoped would be the icing on the cake for our visit to Paris.

This was a great tour, but the Eiffel Tower staff went on strike on the day of tour so we could not access observation deck.

It was difficult to make a 24 hour advance call to confirm the tickets from a ship at sea. If you don't make the call, you forfeit the tickets. It was a pretty big shock to arrive at the address to find the door was locked. There was a sign in English telling us to go to another address. Then we waited forever to get on the bus, balancing on a curb between a well used bike lane and a line of parked cars. Of course, we were all dressed in our finest, as required. Maybe they tell us to dress up so we will think this is going to be an elegant affair. We were given the third degree to board the bus by a person we could barely understand and a ten minute bus trip to the Eiffel Tower, where we unloaded and followed the leader through huge, huge crowds of people. We waited in line for another 45 minutes to get our ticket for the dinner and another long line to go up the elevator like everyone else. A person can have dinner in the Eiffel Tower without going through a tour. The dinning area was elegant, but seating was very crowded even though there were not very many people.

We met at 6pm, but a lot of confusion with people in charge, weren't sure if they knew what they were doing. Didn't leave for Eiffel Tower till just after 6.30pm. Had to wait while hostess bought tickets to go up to restaurant, more waiting! Felt dinner was a little rushed because of this. River cruise in the evening was very special, very pretty. The meal was lovely.
