For a first immersive visit , a real success: we go back in history in a fun way with Vladina who animates this visit very well. Very nice historical visit through the centuries. We are not bored for a minute. See you soon for the Eiffel Tower and all my encouragement to develop other sites.👍👍👍

The guided tour by Michel enlightened by virtual reality that transported us back in time. It's been a new experience for us. We hope to see this concept spread to other places. It's so illuminating. You're really immersed in the time, bluffing... We really recommend. In addition, Michel is very considerate and friendly. MERCI

After visiting the Louvre, you had to visit the Eiffel Tower. And once again the concept lived up to our expectations. This time we were with Michel and in a very small committee. The tour is fun, fun and always rich in discoveries. The work done is incredible and it’s a living visit, we don’t see time passing. Do not hesitate to go and test both especially Again thank you and warmly the next project

Thanks to our guide Michel who was kind enough to open a visit slot in the middle of winter and for our group of friends on short stay in Paris, we feasted! The immersive experience is breathtaking not only by the technique used but also by the precision of the details that allow us to discover the transformations of the Champ de Mars site 140 years ago, with the construction of the Eiffel Tower and the preparation of the universal exhibition, all "as if we were there"! Many THANKS to the VIALITY TOUR team for this exciting ride! Claire, Catherine, Marie, Agnes and Martine

This was an amazing way to bring the story of the Eiffel Tower to life! Viality Tours very kindly scheduled an extra tour to accommodate our limited time in Paris (Thank you!) - Vladina, our tour guide literally took us back in time to the late 1800s through a series of VR 360 animated views - that corresponded to the physical locations we were taken to near to the Eiffel Tower. It really allowed us to see the ghosts of the past. If you like history and can spare an hour when you visit the Eiffel Tower it will really bring your visit literally to life!!!!

Vladina was an amazing and extremely friendly guide, with a remarkable ability to welcome her guests. The experience (45-50 minutes) )was extremely agreeable, extremely educational, and highly recommended. Virtual reality is an amazing technology and this tour allows for a great understanding of the development of the Eiffel Tower and its logistics, including political and historical perspectives. It was money very well spent.

Experiencing the construction of the Eiffel Tower and finding yourself in the middle of the 1989 Universal Exhibition, there is no better way to learn history. The guide Michel, in addition to being friendly, knows his subject very well and in addition to teaching us the history, shares anecdotes with us. We feel completely safe, even wearing a helmet in the middle of the Champ de Mars, the guide is watching ;)
