Full description

Admire Paris from above at the Eiffel Tower and learn about this iconic landmark on a guided tour. Enhance your experience with an optional visit to the summit and take in the dramatic views over the City of Lights.

Meet your guide close to the base of the Eiffel Tower, and enjoy direct access to ascend to the second floor. Here, admire views of Montmartre, the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame and much more. From there, ascend to the very top of the Eiffel Tower. Enjoy beautiful, sweeping views across the city before peeking inside Gustave Eiffel's apartment at the top of the tower. If you wish, you can treat yourself by purchasing a drink from the champagne bar at the top of the tower.

Your guide will also share tips and advice on the best ways to visit the city's major monuments.

Our guide didn't have a flag, just orange and blue lanyards around his neck, none the less he was easy to spot between the carousels ticket office and the slush stand Overall the audio on the tour was good, although if you got too far from the guide there was some static. Guide was very knowledgeable and answered questions patiently. No worries about being too rushed round. The tour ends on the vthird level and you are then free to explore on your own. Yes this does seem expensive when compared to a day ticket but I think it was worthwhile if only because of the speed of access it gives you. Also at the time we visited the third level was closed to walk up tickets. Overall a pleasant experience and I would recommend it.

We meet just in from of the tower, it was easy to identify our guide and the tour started on time. Our tour guide was with us during the whole process till we reach the summit where he gave a really nice presentation showing us all the historical sites and really interesting information about Paris. Getting to the tower by your own it’s not difficult, IF you plant your visit with time and have your tickets, but the information provided by the guide make the experience more amenable! This was our first visit with the kids and we all really enjoyed it.

Met the guide with my wife and two kids, we were given earpiece and electric gadget so we could listen to the guide while we went up the Eiffel Tower , stopped at the first landing took a few pictures then went right up to the summit everyone else took photos and walked round while I hid in a corner ( bit scared of heights) lol . Guide gave a good tour and was well worth the money we paid for the trip.
