Despite the cold, it was worth the experience and the friendliness of our guide Fortune Too bad we couldn't see the city from the top floor due to the fog

A stairway to Parisian heaven

Experience the world-famous Eiffel Tower on a thoughtfully guided tour, complete with elevator access to the summit or 2nd floor. Your English-speaking guide will share fascinating commentary with the group, 10 to 20 guests, about the history behind the tower and lesser-known secrets too.

Ride the elevator to the 2nd floor, 377 feet up, for stunning views of Paris, including landmarks like the Champs-Élysées, Notre Dame, and the Arc de Triomphe. On the 1st floor, stand on the suspended glass floor and look down at the streets below. Upgrade your ticket for summit access, where the 3rd level offers the most breathtaking views of the city—an experience you won’t forget!
