    The wait was so long that there was no guided tour of the Eiffel Tower. All info had to be passed on during the waiting time.

    We went a day earlier than scheduled to find the meeting place & learned there would be a strike the next day. We were asked if we wanted to go then, and we said yes. Nathalie was a terrific guide, & were among the last groups allowed up to the summit that day. Spectacular!

    Disappointedly, we were unable to take part in the tour that we were very much looking forward to because of the National Strike that took place on Thursday 06/04/23. However, I do want to heap praise because of being kept informed of the impending strike, and early the next day of the elevator tour received confirmation that the Eiffel Tower would be closed that day. We've sent details to Customer Service and we are now awaiting refund of the tickets. One piece of feedback I think is important, is location details. Although a location map is provided, think we would have struggled to find the meeting place on the day. It was only because we visited the Eiffel Tower by night earlier in the week and decided to go looking. E.T. staff were unable to help, but we think we found it though won't now know for certain. That said would I book with Headout again? Yes absolutely. Our dealings with the organisation has been very straightforward and pleasant.

    Summit was closed during our visit. Advised Headout and they promply sent a partial refund directly to my bank account. Much appreciated. Our guide was very informative and kept the wait in line upbeat.

    Es hat alles bestens geklappt. Gerne wieder. Abby war ein toller Guide!

    Tour to either the 2nd Floor or the Summit

    Make your way to either the second floor or upgrade to the summit of the iconic Eiffel Tower with the help of an elevator. Being a single-slot morning tour, you will not have to deal with huge crowds and long queues for riding the elevator. Learn about the history of the tower and its different levels from the guide as you're waiting to board the elevator, thereby making the tour more engaging and lively. On the second floor, get to know interesting trivia about the Eiffel Tower such as its original color, its sparkling lights, and individuals who performed daredevil stunts and etched their names in the history books. After this, you're free to explore the summit on your own.

    Magnificent View of the City from the Summit

    If you've chosen the Summit Access option, you shall take a lift from the second floor to get to the summit. The Tower offers a bird's-eye view of Paris and its major landmarks. Standing from a height of 324 meters, you will be able to bask in the magnificence of the Arc de Triomphe, Seine River, Montmartre district, Notre Dame, Champs Elysees, the Louvre, Trocadero Gardens, etc. Throughout the tour, you'll learn more about the life of Gustave Eiffel, right from his young engineer days to his efforts in designing the structure of the Eiffel Tower. Visit this great builder's office now restored to its original state and check out its panoramic maps. Once you've had your fill of scintillating views, head back down to the ground floor.
