Although it wasn't too difficult to spot the tour guide, it would be better if they wore something more recognizable at the meeting point. Other than that, everything was excellent: the guide made the experience very pleasant and enjoyable. Highly recommended, and it's well worth it for the views from the third floor.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Visiting the Eiffel Tower was an absolute highlight of our trip to Paris and an altogether unforgettable experience! The booking process was already super simple, seamless, and exceptionally well organized. Meeting up at the agreed meeting point also went completely smoothly, so we felt well taken care of right from the start. Our guide deserves a very special shout-out! He was incredibly friendly, warm, and humorous. With his easygoing, fun personality, he immediately put everyone in a great mood. At the same time, the tour was extremely informative and exciting. We learned plenty of interesting facts and stories about the Eiffel Tower and Paris, which made the visit even more special. You could genuinely tell how much joy and passion he puts into his work! The reserved access with the elevator was also very convenient. Once we reached the top, we were rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view across all of Paris. From the hassle-free booking to the flawless organization, the fantastic guide, and the stunning view, everything was simply spot-on! A wonderful experience that will stay with us for a long time. Highly recommended! We would book again anytime! ❤️

OMG.. this was the most amazing thing I have seen.. it was amazing. the dancers, the colours the entertainment was next level. The experience of purchasing through Headout made everything so easy especially when I haven't travelled overseas in mearly 20 years and that was before the internet and online purchasing was even a thing.. I have continued to book my other adventures throughout Paris, Italy and Croatia with Headout as its an easy website to use, has a fantastic choice to do things when you don't know what to do or what's even around to see in places you haven't been to. I Absolutely rate this site 100%.

It was very well organised and simple instructions made it easy to understand. We only booked our Eiffel tower visit the week before we went.

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.

What's not allowed

Keep in mind that smoking, large luggage, non-folding buggies/prams, big bags, baby strollers, rollerblades, scooters, skateboards, hoverboards, other large rolling objects (except foldable pushchairs, medical or assistance vehicles for persons with reduced mobility), sharp objects, glass bottles, padlocks, and cans are not allowed on this experience.
