Why choose this Paris tour ?
Skip the steps on this guided tour of the Eiffel Tower and zip right to the second floor to spend more time enjoying what the inside of the tower has to offer.
On the second level, your guide can help you find Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre, the Grand Palais, Les Invalides, and other popular landmarks, as well as recommendations for what to eat while you’re there.
When your tour is done, you can stay as long as you like and take the elevator to the very top if you’ve paid for the summit upgrade. On your way down, you can check out the first level to view Paris through a glass floor, visit the exhibits, and more.
If you’ve opted for the Seine River cruise upgrade, you will also receive a ticket for a one-hour boat cruise. This is a physical ticket that will be handed to you when you check in for your Eiffel Tower tour. You can head straight to the boat landing to take your cruise after your tour or go on another day.
