Really cool and atmospheric spot...definitely worth a visit if you’re into history. It’s an underground cavern that once stored the city’s water supply, and walking through it feels like stepping into another world. The lighting and reflections make it a great place for photos. It’s a relatively quick walkthrough, but the space is impressive and packed with historical weight. A quiet, moody break from the busy streets above.

The monument is spectacular, it is the second time I go to see the Cistern, it is one of the places I repeat when I go to Istanbul.
The experience with the purchase without queue, very good, easy access to the monument by a specific row with very little queue.
The only drawback is that not being able to download the audio guide to save, if you do not have data, you can not hear it.

The tour started on time, we quickly got through the guided tour line and security, and the guide was very informative with pictures and anecdotal stories as well.
I would add that it was unclear for us to look for a guide with a flag at the EXIT of the Cistern. That extra information would have saved us some drama.

The Cistern is truly beautiful. Well worth a visit and the ability to just walk straight in was ideal. We went late morning/early afternoon and were not swamped by the crowds.

The group was small and we had plenty of time to wander on our own. I would have liked more history though it was difficult to hear our guide as the others in the group didn't move closer and I was in the back.

The time it took to figure out where to pick up the tickets for the Topkapi Palace and waiting for the guide who was to take us inside exceeded the time it would have taken us to buy the regular ticket. The "skip the line" only works well for Hagia Sophia and the Cistern. No for the palace

We had an awesome time at the Eiffel Tower booked through Headout. Unfortunately I did not read all the instructions properly thinking the scanning code would get us in & didn't realise we had to meet a guide. The staff at the Eiffel Tower was not that helpful & one said to ask any guide. Luckily the first person we met was a guide frm Headout & even though we were not supposed to be part of her group as we were a few minutes late for our time slot, she allowed us to join her group & we had a wonderful experience. Would recommend this company & so glad u have booked a few trips with Headout through Europe.

We opted for the Eiffel Tower summit + riverboat cruise combo. We enjoyed the mini guided tour up to the Eiffel Tower and the escort up to the 2nd floor, with the benefit of a "coup-file".
From there, we were autonomous and managed our time on the esoteric as we saw fit. Ditto for the boat cruise on the Seine.
We were happy with this formula, but if you're looking for a more comprehensive guided tour with an expert guide, this is not it.
Only available in English. For the activity in French, you had to pay 5 euros (?).

Beautiful experience that I would also repeat immediately! One never gets tired of seeing the Eiffel Tower especially when accompanied by an empathetic and helpful guide (even if , alas, he does not speak Italian like the vast majority of French people)who, after explaining the history of the tower in Spanish, English and French, escorted us to the second floor and then left us free to visit this wonder .
From any floor and angle of the tower the view of Paris is breathtaking!!!
All this without having stood in line for even a minute given the priority access.
Uncover the history behind this iconic landmark with an expert guide while choosing between panoramic city views by day or night.
- Everything you get: Head to the elevator to the second floor or the summit, the highest point in Paris. Along the way, hear captivating stories about the tower’s construction, significance, and Gustave Eiffel’s vision. On your descent, stop at the first-floor glass platform for a thrilling perspective of the city below.
- Why choose this: The Eiffel is more than just a viewpoint—this guided tour offers a deeper understanding of its history. With a small group (max 20 guests), enjoy an interactive experience.
- Choose from multiple slots available— by day, enjoy clear views of Paris landmarks, and by night, witness the stunning city lights and the tower's sparkling illuminations.
- Upgrades: Add a Seine River cruise, with the Eiffel Tower as the convenient boarding point, for a scenic view of the city’s landmarks from the water.

Unforgettable Eiffel Tower Summit Tour – Thanks to Joanna! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finding our guide was easy, and from the very beginning, Joanna stood out with her professionalism. She gave us a clear safety briefing and set expectations early on—there was no skip-the-line access, and we might have to wait. And we did—almost two hours! But honestly, it didn’t feel that long at all because Joanna kept us thoroughly engaged. With her arsenal of fun facts, quirky trivia, and rich history of the Eiffel Tower, she turned what could’ve been a frustrating wait into an educational and entertaining part of the experience. Her energy, knowledge, and customer service were second to none—hands down the best I’ve encountered during my entire trip in Paris. Joanna didn’t just guide us to the top—she elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended!

We lucked out being the only one on the tour and it was the night of my 40th birthday- it felt so special! Rafael was a fantastic guide- he walked us up through some beautiful photo spots, took lots of pictures of my husband and I, and answered all of our questions not just about the Eiffel Tower but about life in Paris. It wasn't a crowded night but it was still so nice to follow someone who knew exactly where to go and just be able to take it all in. Highly recommend this experience!
