Believe the hype, I wasn't bothered with seeing the eifle tower but is was amazing. We were just going to go take a pic then onto the next attraction. We stayed over an hour walking around then walked all the way to the arcdt, along the river. Really busy though and got accosted by sellers of usual tourist tat. Just say a polite non merci and they should leave you be! Although if your kids want some eifle keyrings for friends, they are 5 for 1 so much cheaper than in tourist shops and are pretty much the same. It was a beautiful sunny day too!
