Experience the best Eiffel Tower tours

The Eiffel Tower Elevator tour doesn’t include skipping the line. Your guide will purchase tickets for you after you arrive. Please be aware that the wait time to purchase tickets can be up to two hours, meaning the total time for this experience can vary from 2-4 hours. However, rest assured that your guide will keep you entertained and provide insightful information about the Eiffel Tower while you wait in line together, another benefit of going with a guided tour.

After you get your Eiffel Tower tickets and get through the entry line, you could take the elevator up to the second floor in less than 30 minutes if you’re tight on time. We recommend giving yourself 90 minutes to take in the stunning views on the first and second levels, and maybe indulge in a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants inside the tower. 

You can’t reach the tower summit by climbing, but there is a glass elevator to take you there. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience we think everyone visiting Paris should have. There’s nothing like being on top of the City of Lights! To get to the summit, take an elevator from the second floor up to the very top.

The Eiffel Tower has three levels open to visitors: the first floor, the second floor, and the tower summit. The first floor is exclusive to those climbing since the elevator takes you straight to the second floor

The Eiffel Tower summit gives you a bird’s-eye view of the city. It also has a recreation of Gustave Eiffel’s private office, complete with wax figures. And let’s not forget the champagne bar, where you can toast your Paris adventure — that’s history, scenery, and bubbly all in one.

We understand plans change. We offer a 100% refund or the option to reschedule up to 24 hours before your tour start time. Cancellations within 24 hours aren’t eligible for refunds or rescheduling.

While the Eiffel Tower Elevator Tour is accessible for foldable strollers, the climbing tour is not. Neither Eiffel Tower tour is accessible for wheelchairs. If you use a wheelchair, you are encouraged to book a private tour or visit on your own using the Eiffel Tower’s priority entrance.

Plan to be there 30 minutes before your tour’s start time to ensure you can find the meeting point and your tour guide. Our tours start on time, so you may not be able to catch up if you arrive late.

Our tours run rain or shine, so please check the local forecast and plan accordingly. In rare instances when we have to cancel for extreme weather, we’ll offer you the chance to reschedule or a refund.
