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.

    DO NOT BOOK WITH VIATOR. book directly at the tower. We had time set aside per the instructions. When we got there we were with the guide 20 minutes and made it to level 2 only to be stranded there for HOURS. Something they don’t tell you. We ended up leaving because it had been over three hours and still hadn’t moved and we had a dinner reservation. VIator refused to give me a refund. I’ve used them so many times over the years and am utterly disgusted with this treatment. Stay away!

  • C- I climbed the 688 stairs but summit was sold out

    I am very upset. I booked a summit experience. We were told by the guide Johanna that is was closed due to wind. That we did not get summit tickets. This was untrue. It was not closed. 100s of people were going up. I waited in line only to be embarrassed by the ticket taker who told us our guide company does this often. The host administrator Ali and the guide Noanns were both pleasant but we did not get what we paid for. She said we would get a refund. I am still on the tower as I write this. Too upset to go down yet. And no time to buy a separate summit ticket this week.

    Buy your tickets on the day yourself and save money as you have to queue up anyway! Everyone in the line queuing to get tickets for the Eiffel Tower could hear the guide without having to pay for the guide.

    Great experience. The guide did a a good job pointing out landmarks and talking about the history. It didn’t seem like 669 steps. Since we went at 6:30 p.m. , e saw a beautiful sunset and the twinkling lights.

    The steps were a bit difficult but worth the climb. Henry was great and informative. People tried to get in front of our group and he made sure we stayed together. Fantastic views !
