Once in Paris the communication was great. All question were responded to right away. Our tour guide Andrei was amazing. So knowledgeable, kind, and attentive he made our last day in Parisnperfect. I would book another tour with this company in the future. He walked us step by step. If I would change anything it would be to give a little more detail about the tour before hand. I didn't realize we could have taken the river cruise any day and it would have been nice to know the different times of the cruises. But it all work out amazingly.

We had a great experience on the Eiffel Tower tour. Everything was well organized and the meeting point was easy to find. Our guide was friendly, informative and made the visit enjoyable. The views from the summit were amazing, and the Seine River cruise included in the package was a nice bonus. We had a lovely time as a family and would definitely recommend this tour.”

It was a wonderful experience and our guide was great and very knowledge. He was able to answer even the most technical questions my engineer huaband asked. There was a little bit of trouble with the lift to the Summit but our lift driver was very try engaging and kept everyone calm and had fun. On the way down we saw moonrise over Sacre Couer which was stunning!

Our guide, Bruno, was waiting for us at the rendezvous point. He led us through Eiffel Tower security and got us quickly to the second floor observation deck. After a helpful briefing he handed us off to the summit elevator. The whole excursion was efficient and smooth and the whole experience terrific. Paris at night from the summit is amazing.

A very compact, yet informative guidance about the tower and its place in Parisian history. Being a novice, it was very nice to be escorted through the entrance systems and all the wy up to the second floor.

Good tour however guide didn't come to the summit with us. Also poor communication regarding change of venue resulting in delayed start and additional walking to meet guide. Headout admin team refused to acknowledge that there was a venue change - comms need to improve

Booking this was very smooth, and the information provided before the activity was great. The guide was very knowledgeable and engaging, and the entry process was simple. A bit hazy, but the Eiffel Tower still delivers a fantastic experience.

Pepe was a great tour guide. He explained and talked about many details on the way to the Tower. And he waited for us at the meeting point and helped us get there. At the Tower, everything was very easy, safe, and accessible. Thank you very much.

Enjoyed a great view in wonderful weather. Access was a bit lengthy, a lot of standing around..... The explanations seemed professional, although unfortunately I only know a little English.

Explore the Eiffel Tower on a 90-minute small-group guided tour with reserved elevator access to the summit or second floor.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the Eiffel Tower entrance and join your small group of 10 to 20 guests. After ticket check and the standard security screening, your guide organizes the group and explains how the reserved elevator access works for your chosen level, either the summit or the second floor. You then proceed toward the elevators to start your guided visit.

What to expect

Experience Paris’s most famous landmark with an expert live guide, available in English, Italian, or Spanish depending on the option you select.

Features

Ride the elevator with reserved access to either the summit or the second floor, as per the option selected, with additional access to the 1st floor included.

From the upper levels, look out over key Paris landmarks such as the Seine River, the Champs de Mars, and the wider city skyline as your guide points out major sights.

Hear stories and facts about the tower’s construction, history, and role in Paris, tailored to a small-group setting of 10 to 20 guests so it stays easy to follow and ask questions.

Spend about 90 minutes with your expert English, Italian, or Spanish-speaking guide, then continue exploring the tower’s levels independently once the guided portion ends.

Wrapping up

If you select the Seine River cruise option, your experience continues with a separate 1-hour boat ride on the Seine, giving you another perspective on the Eiffel Tower and central Paris from the water.

What to bring

Individuals must present a valid form of identification, such as a passport or ID card, to access the tower grounds.
