Good price in Klook! Great view from the top of Arc de Triomphe. but do remember there are around 300 steps up to the top deck.

It is recommended to use your mobile phone to buy tickets in advance. You don’t need to exchange tickets on the spot. You can just go through the security check and scan the code. It is very convenient and saves a lot of time.

very very pretty. check certain times for Eiffel to burst into laser lighting. no lifts and quite a long spiral stairs to walk up.

Although the traffic gets bad at certain time of the day, it was nice taking the bus to go around the major sightseeing spots. Wish the audio guide provided a better information about each landmark..

Due to the long journey (4 hours each way), the meeting time is very early and we have to set off very early in the morning. The tour guide was easy to find at the meeting point and the coach was comfortable.
