Hi everyone,
Missed out on Eiffel Tickets (to the top) on the official site for a June trip.
Can anyone speak (from experience) of a vendor that would have some tickets we could buy without getting scammed? :)

When we went, we just bought the cheapest tour that included access to the areas we wanted and left the tour once we were in. It was only a little more. I think we just used Viator, so not sure who the actual tour guide was. It was nice to bypass the line straight to the elevator.
And by the way, I lasted less than three minutes on top. Terribly crowded up there. I am not normally claustrophobic but that high up being crushed was alarming.

We’ve used Get Your Guide twice, not a scam. There are several options offered on their site. We did a one hour tour of the history and mechanical aspects of the Tower then skipped the line to the summit. Enjoy your trip!

I’ve looked at some GYG tours and they’re around $500 USD for our family of 5. :(

Vandelay, not sure which ones you’re looking at. This one is $32.92 USD per person.

I wouldn’t give up on the official site. In the last few months, they’ve released a lot of tickets about a week out. Keep watching.

I tried the tour website mentioned above and they wanted $77 a person for the date we wanted :-(

Head over the Montparnassee Tower and go up to the top, you have a great view with the Eiffel Tower and without the Montparnassee Tower.
