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.

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.

Climbing the Eiffel Tower with "The Tour Guy" was a thrilling experience! Our guide Henry was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the group engaged with fascinating stories. The climb was a workout but reaching the summit and soaking in the panoramic views of Paris was absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for an unforgettable adventure!
