We found our guide to be friendly and she gave plenty of info. She guided us in/upstairs and then she let us find our own way up the 2nd platform of the Eiffel Tower. That was fine. I would definitely recommend others to visit such dr tower as well.

Due to wind, we were not able to access the Summit. We were advised that we would receive a refund within 24 hours. Our tour date was the 5th Jan, it has been 10 days but we have not received a refund nor been contacted. Could we please be contacted to organise the refund.

We were unable to go to the summit due to the weather conditions. That was ok and and not a great surprise. The guide informed us that we would be able to get our money back for that component. The staff at the venue refused to refund us as we were part of a package. Very disappointed by that and it was incorrect.

On the day of the visit to the Eiffel Tower, nobody showed up. About twenty of us were waiting for him. I had to call several times and when they picked up the phone, they told me that they had sent me an email canceling the event. After insisting, I was summoned for the next day at the same time. The next day, we were able to visit the Eiffel Tower.

Your experience

A stairway to Parisian heaven

Experience the world-famous Eiffel Tower on a thoughtfully guided tour, complete with elevator access to the summit or 2nd floor. Your English-speaking guide will share fascinating commentary with the group, 10 to 20 guests, about the history behind the tower and lesser-known secrets too.

Ride the elevator to the 2nd floor, 377 feet up, for stunning views of Paris, including landmarks like the Champs-Élysées, Notre Dame, and the Arc de Triomphe. On the 1st floor, stand on the suspended glass floor and look down at the streets below. Upgrade your ticket for summit access, where the 3rd level offers the most breathtaking views of the city—an experience you won’t forget!
