Highlights
  • Eiffel Tower - Get your steps in to the second floor before taking the elevator to the summit for epic Paris views

After meeting your guide near the Eiffel Tower, you’ll head for the ticketing desk and pass through the security area to begin your climb. Your first stop is the first floor (of course!), where the crowds are usually smaller and you can enjoy a unique perspective of the Paris skyline, and walk on the 188-foot-high glass floor. Next, you’ll continue your climb to the popular second floor for an even higher viewpoint. Along the way your guide will inform and entertain with stories of the city’s history and the tower’s construction.

The cherry on top is a trip to the Eiffel Tower summit, where you’ll have an unmatched view of the city from a staggering 906 feet (276 meters)! You’ll be given access to the summit elevator for this final part of the tour, and you’re free to stay at the top for as long as you please.

Awesome! - Hisham was our tour guide and he was super knowledgeable and fun to have as a guide. Unfortunately, the summit was closed when we went, but it was still an amazing experience! Definitely recommend!

A stress free way to get to the top of the tower - A great tour. We did this tour of tower in the rain. The tour guide was knowledgeable and considerate of the inclement weather. Meeting up was fairly straightforward. Just look for the little red flag. Having a guide makes getting tickets and through the security/ lines easier. Once to the top of 1st level the tour concludes with additional history and suggestions for the self guided part to the summit. Our guide was very friendly

Worked out great! - We were very glad that we were able to grab the tickets to the tower even though our last minute traveling decision made it difficult to buy them at official website. Of course you are paying more but the experience was worth it.

Best Eiffel tower tour ever - Hisham was super knowledgeable and very funny. He gave us a really amazing experience of the Eiffel tower. Me and my friends just graduated college and we visited the Eiffel Tower. Hisham truly made our trip. This was my second time visiting the Eiffel tower and I had a tour guide last time but Hisham was exponentially better than the first tour guide I had.
