“Tour met on time with exact location, which is great. Just be mindful that you buy a "voucher" and not the actual ticket. You check in, and then gather with your group to go once you give your name. The tour left on time, and our guide Chloe was really nice, a great communicator, and had great energy with all good facts about the tower. She gave us just enough time to get some background info, get us up to the 2nd level, and left us alone for the rest. Wish others remembered a good tour guide deserves a small tip!”
