We could not find the tour and called to get help and no one answered. No one at the Eiffel Tower had heard of the tour. We asked for a refund and did not receive it. Terrible experience! We paid for tickets and enjoyed walking to the second level and riding to the summit. I would definitely NOT purchase this!!

Avoid City Wonders!
Directions were to meet our guide at 11:30, and the address given was the address for the Eiffel Tower — no detail as to *where* at the tower we would find the guide. We arrived at the tower 11:15 and could not locate them. We finally called City Wonders and we’re rudely told the guide had already departed and there was nothing she could do about it. When I asked to be moved to a later tour that day, she was abrupt and condescending in telling me that was impossible. When I asked to speak to a supervisor (twice), I was rudely told there wasn’t one available.
We ultimately ended up purchasing an additional set of tickets and toured the tower on our own.
When we return home, I’ll be contacting Viator for a refund and recommending they remove City Wonders from their subcontractors, as they have zero concept of customer service, they are unprofessional, and their representatives are rude.

First let me start by saying that our guide Pascal was GReAT.!! He had a wealth of knowledge. He made the journey up the stairs fun. It was slightly confusing to find the meeting point so go early to have time in case you get lost. ( or don’t let your husband direct you) Once at meeting point everything was smooth. Glad that we chose the stairs instead of the elevator. I defiantly recommend this tour and guide.
