Know before you book

  • Children aged 4 and younger are complimentary.
  • Please note this tour includes a climbing the stairs tour of the Eiffel Tower to the second floor– you will receive elevator tickets to descend, but you must ascend via the internal staircase. Therefore this tour is only suitable for guests with good mobility levels.
  • This tour is not accessible for anyone with mobility issues. Participants will need to be able to climb 700 steps in approximately 1 hour.
  • Summit access is determined at the discretion of the Eiffel Tower security staff and if summit is closed you will receive a refund for the upgrade portion if booked
  • This tour doesn’t include skipping the line. Your guide will purchase the tickets for you after you arrive. The wait time to purchase tickets can be up to two hours, but rest assured that your guide will keep you entertained and provide insightful information about the Eiffel Tower while you wait.
  • Summit access is not included unless that option is chosen when booking the tour
  • Seine River cruise tickets are included ONLY IF option chosen at checkout (physical tickets distributed when you arrive for Eiffel Tower tour)
  • Per Eiffel Tower rules, if you upgrade your tour to see the summit, you’ll need to visit the summit right after the guided tour ends. Afterward, feel free to explore the other two floors on your way down. The first level of the Eiffel Tower has more exhibits, a glass floor, and occasional pop-ups.

What you can expect

ExperienceFirst invites you to ascend the Eiffel Tower's steps with a knowledgeable guide by your side every step of the way. Share the exhilarating experience with your fellow adventurers as you conquer 704 steps on foot, guided by an expert who has meticulously planned a pace tailored for your comfort. Along the ascent, you'll be immersed in stories and fascinating facts about the Tower and its neighboring landmarks. Witness the evolving scenery that unfolds around you on this journey, which is as awe-inspiring as the destination itself. The history, the legends, the views!! It’s all waiting for you at one of the world’s most visited landmarks, The Eiffel Tower.

For those who have bought the Summit option, an elevator will transport you from the 2nd level to the Summit. In the rare instance that the Summit is closed, you'll be provided with a tour and ticket to the 2nd Level. You will receive a refund for the price difference between the two options. In adherence to Eiffel Tower regulations, if you choose to upgrade your tour for summit access, it's imperative to proceed directly to the summit upon reaching the second floor. After exploring the top, you're welcome to freely roam the first and second floors on your descent. The first floor of the Eiffel Tower boasts additional exhibits, a glass floor, and occasional temporary exhibitions.

If you opted for the cruise option, you'll also receive your tickets for a one-hour Seine River cruise when you check in for your Eiffel Tower tour. These tickets remain valid for a year and can be enjoyed at your convenience after your Eiffel Tower adventure. Since the tickets are distributed on-site, punctuality is key. Missing your Eiffel tour may result in forfeiture of your boat tickets.
