What to expect

Scaling the Eiffel Tower is a must while you're in Paris, but with this tour you won't just "do the Eiffel Tower" — you'll experience it with a local guide who can share its secrets, stories, and insider tips for the rest of your trip. Ready for an adventure?

After you check in, your guide gets your ticket so you can take the elevator up to the second floor together. You'll learn about Gustave Eiffel, the tower's original controversy and eventual fame, its changing colors and lights, and much more that will astound you. Admire panoramic views of Paris as your guide points out famous landmarks.

Upgrade to see the summit and you'll visit the very top of the Eiffel Tower, where there's a champagne bar, Gustave's private office, and a true bird's-eye view of Paris. Tower staff do sometimes close the summit temporarily, but if it's closed when you get your ticket, your guide will make sure you get a refund for that portion of your experience.

For summit access, you'll head up right after getting to the second floor, per Eiffel Tower regulations. Then after your summit visit, you can take your time exploring the first and second floors on your way down.

Add on the cruise option to enjoy a one-hour Seine boat ride, offering a unique perspective of Paris. These tickets are valid for a year, so use them at your convenience after your Eiffel Tower adventure.
