Unfortunately the Arc was being set up for the Christophe exhibition in a week so there was scaffolding and fencing at the top of the monument. Nevertheless I was able to take some great pictures at the top and there were few other people to hinder the view.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER
Stephanie_F
, Mar 2020
Due to the travel ban and the French government restricting gatherings to 100 people, my family and I were unable to go to France and attend this excursion. I contacted the company by email several days in advance with no response. When I clicked “manage my booking” it took me to a page that said “error, does not exist”. They never responded, emailed, Or remedied the situation at all. Terrible company, no customer service, and I would definitely NOT recommend to anyone looking for quality service while they travel.

This is definitely worth the money you pay for it! (and is very reasonably priced), I had no clue you could actually go up the monument. Me and my partner went in the evening, and it was fantastic. You got to see the entire of the city at night, including great view of the Eiffel tower lit up. One of the best things to do in Paris in my opinion.

This does not allow you to skip the queue. It’s basically just an advanced ticket so you don’t need to queue and buy one. The queue into the main attraction is the problem and we had to wait 50 minutes.

Paris in february
Gerard_M

We just returned to Canada after a week in Paris, and used Viator for multiple bookings, everything went smoothly, just as described. The Arc de Triomphe is definitely worth the visit, fantastic view from the top, easy access through the underground hallways. The skip the line is worth it, even though there wasn't a huge lineup on the day of our visit, you can relax and not worry about the possibility of being in line for extended periods and wasting precious sight-seeing time. We were only minutes in line.
