Eiffel Tower and Seine River Cruise is a good value
As a first-time visitor to Paris, I feel that the Eiffel Tower and Seine River cruise were definitely worth it. It allowed me to visit the famous monument and later to go on a Seine River cruise. I did it all on the first day so that I could orient myself better. I learned much of the fascinating history of this city and saw Notre Dame, Champs de Mars, Les Invalides, and loads of others for a fair price.
Cruise on the River Seine and a visit to the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower tour was great! The meeting point was easy to find and instructions from our guide excellent. We had Carolina as our guide and she did an excellent job explaining to us the history of the Eiffel. However, my favorite part was the Seine River Cruise, it was so beautiful and peaceful! Highly recommend booking this ticket.

Interesting facts about the Eiffel Tower
- Did you know that the Eiffel Tower was the first tower that exceeded 300 m (1000 ft) height? Its exact height is 312 m, and it was the tallest man-made building from 1889 to 1928. It was surpassed by New York City’s Chrysler Building, which is 319 meters (1,046 feet) high!
- The creator of the Eiffel Tower, French engineer Gustave Eiffel, had an important role in building the Statue of Liberty. The statue was designed by the sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, but its metal framework was done by Gustave Eiffel!
- Built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, the Eiffel Tower project was not particularly liked by Parisians. The industrial architecture of Eiffel Tower seemed out of touch with the general aesthetics of the city. Many influential artists, writers, sculptors, politicians, and scientists signed petitions to tear it down. With time, the public perception changed, and the Eiffel Tower became a symbol of the City of Lights!
- With almost 7,300 tons of wrought iron used to build it, it is obvious why the Eiffel Tower is sometimes referred to as the Iron Lady. Its crisscrossing metal beams are an instantly recognizable feature. But did you know why Gustave Eiffel used such a design? He had to take into account the effect of wind on the structure. Winds in Paris are known to blow with speeds of 100 km/h (60 mph)!
- The Eiffel Tower is the most visited paid attraction in the world, with more than 7 million visitors annually! Since the time of its completion in 1889, an estimated 250 million people have admired panoramic views of Paris from the Eiffel Tower.
- Considering all these fascinating facts, you might want to book an Eiffel Tower guided tour, where an expert guide will share stories, history, and hidden details while leading you through this iconic landmark.
