Great day at the E Tower with Henry. - We took the stair climb up to 2nd level with Henry as our guide. Henry was fun, informative, and eager to answer any question we had. The weather was a worry but held off while we enjoyed the tower experience.

Expect the experience to... - Expect the experience to last several hours Despite buying this in advance you do have to wait on lines for tickets and the elevator to the top. With that said, our tour guide Muhammad was very knowledgeable and the views are incredible. The step climb is not easy but doable for sure

Loooong climb! - Ruth was fantastic and dealt with all of the kids so well! The climb was a lot longer than my 15-year-old self remembered, but it was well worth it.

Our Guide was Awesome.... - Our Guide was Awesome. She was supposed to go to the second floor with us put only went to the first. It would have been nice to know that anyone can take the elevators down without a ticket before going up. We did not learn this until we were on the first floor. Its a lot of steps. My wife turned back about 3/4 of the way up. If she knew she could take the elevator down she would have pressed on to the first floor.

A necessary guide or not? - In English, the guide spoke excessively fast. The children in the group had no interest. My little girl really didn’t get everything. She bothered. In the queue, which we had to avoid, those stuck on the guide who continued his explanations, which those nearby heard. The adult price up to the top is €27.50 and a child is €6.90. I paid the package 139€ and I would have preferred to do it at my own pace with the podcast offered for free by scanning the QR code with Internet Network.
