About this experience

Access the Eiffel Tower and discover Paris' most famous landmark with a local and passionate guide during this engaging 60-minute tour. Your ticket includes access to the second level of the Eiffel Tower as well as access to the tower's summit (if the option is booked), where you can enjoy a view of Paris' skyline from 1,063 feet above the city.

What to expect

  1. Stop 1

    Meet your local guide next to the Eiffel Tower for a brief and fascinating introduction that will give you the keys to enjoy Paris' most famous tower to the fullest. Your guide will then take you straight to the second level, bypassing the waiting lines on the ground. On the second level, you will enjoy anecdotes about the Eiffel Tower and its unique history. You will also learn more about the City of Light, and see many of its highlights from above, including Notre Dame, the Louvre Museum, the Arc de Triomphe, and Les  Invalides. At the end of your guided tour, you will be free to continue exploring the Eiffel Tower on your own and ascend to the summit through a second elevator where even more breathtaking views await. Sip a glass of bubbly from the Champagne bar (own expense) while you admire Paris glittering below. On your way down, be sure to stop at the first level and walk on new glass floor some 200 dizzying feet above the ground.
