-Online booking: 10 out of 10 👍🏾 -The English, French, and Spanish tours—world-class. -The VIP entrance for tickets booked as part of a group—priceless; no waiting, no long lines. -Then the ride up in the elevator—exciting and a real thrill. The cherry 🍒 on top was reaching the top of the Eiffel Tower—an amazing experience I can only recommend to everyone, even people with a fear of heights; the ride is super safe.

Immanuel was our tour guide from Crown Tours. He explained things along the way, was a good character, and made the process of viewing the tower easy and simple to understand. The tower itself was amazing, a great piece of engineering with great views of Paris. Although busy, waiting times were not too long and it did not feel overcrowded inside. Glad to have seen it

Great tour all the way to the top of the Eiffel Tower The very friendly guide quickly took us to the elevator and up to the second floor without much of a wait, telling us a lot about the tower’s history along the way. We had a great group (Mel from Australia 😁) and the ride all the way to the top afterward was an absolute highlight.

We really enjoyed our trip to the Eiffel Tower. You need to prepare for security checks, but everything went fine. We recommend going at a less busy time around lunchtime, there weren't so many people there.

Very professional. They contacted me and sent me a new meeting point since Google Maps was showing me a slightly different place. Friendly, kind, and very nice. Thank you all!

It was a dream come true. It's a spectacular place. The feeling you get from the views on the second floor will be unforgettable. I took the tour with the guide Pascal, a really nice guy, who—even though he told the story in English (that’s what I booked) and despite my limited command of English—I was able to understand him. Plus, at times he gave me explanations in Spanish. I’m so grateful, and I’ll definitely recommend this agency to my friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It was my first time in Paris. I did appreciate the guidence, although I felt it was a given very fast. The meeting place could have been closer to the tower. I love the Siene tour. I feel is the best way to get a full picture of all the places in Paris.

The appointment time was kept. We received a warm welcome. The guide provided explanations during the approach and at the base of the tower. We climbed with the guide to the second terrace, then continued on our own to the top. Highly recommended

We had no trouble finding the meeting point with the guide and were able to take the tour on time. We were pleased with the guide’s storytelling and warmth. The Sen River tour was a lot of fun. The 6:30 p.m. tour time was the right choice for August.

The convenience of meeting at the cafe, meant we could have a drink before leaving, getting easily through security & onto the lift, made the whole experience quite pleasurable.

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

Eiffel Tower

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.
