We were not able to do the Summit room, which was included in our price paid. I suggest when you book tours for the summit room you do early entry.

Our guide/group was easy to find, just as described in the text/email confirmation. She was knowledgeable and very sweet. We loved it!!! Highly recommend. The group was small, guide was super attentive, answering any questions we had and she was energetic and excited; we really got our money's worth.

First of all, the Eiffel Tower is as impressive as expected. It is truly a marvel of engineering and the planning process of getting it completed it is like nothing ever seen. The vision that Mr. Eiffel have, the details and how thoughtful he was from beginning to end was an incredible accomplishment. I could not even find a way to comprehend this magnificent achievement of engineering those days to what we do on modern era. I felt in love with the story of The Eiffel Tower and everything that represents them and now...😍🇫🇷

The English tour was very well organized and the lady had prepared herself very well and told many great stories about the Eiffel Tower with a lot of wit and charm. 5 stars deluxe! Why can't you buy the group tickets in advance or online? The waiting time at security is ok, but 30 minutes wasted on tickets. I can only recommend it for anyone who is fit enough to walk 600 steps :-)

Spend up to 2 hours climbing the Eiffel Tower & perhaps even its summit

Embrace the daredevil in you as you walk across the glass floor, 57 meters above ground level. Seal the deal by taking some memorable snaps. Taking to the stairs again, the higher you go, the better the view. The observation deck on the 2nd floor will have you gawking at the Notre Dame and the Champs Elysees. But the fun doesn’t stop here. Optionally, step out of the ordinary, and see Paris in all its glory from the Summit, with access via elevator.

Please Note: We may experience some delays as some locations can be unavoidably busy at mandatory security checks and at entrances for the stairs and the elevator of the Eiffel.
