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.

Our guide, Fetah, was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable! He made the experience of our first trip to the Eiffel Tour memorable! All of the details for our booking were well communicated. We had a great time climbing the first 2 levels then taking the lift to the top!

Our Guide was one of the best I’ve ever had. She shines. Everything she said, made the event even more interesting and fun. I hope that I will be able to do another tour with her in the future. She’s a one of a kind.

You really have to queue for a long time at the tickets. Conveniently indicate that you arrange tickets in advance.

Horrible! Would not recommend. Our guide told us the top was closed and therefore only gave us tickets to walk to the 2nd floor. We paid to get to the top!!!! When we got to 2nd floor we discovered the top was open. She said we could not go because she only got tickets to the 2nd floor. So disappointing.
