Embark on a guided climbing tour of the Eiffel Tower and discover a different side of Paris’s ‘Iron Lady’. Take the scenic route, learn about its construction, and admire the intricate design from unique viewpoints.
- Avenue Elisée Reclus - Begin your tour near the base of the Eiffel Tower, where your expert guide will give you an introduction to the structure. From here, walk with your guide to the ticket entrance of the Eiffel Tower where you’ll have your first opportunity for a close-up look at the monument while we arrange your tickets. Please note that during busy periods, there may be a wait to clear the line for the stairs and security. This comprehensive tour is typically scheduled to last for 2,5 hours, though wait times at security checks can sometimes increase the tour duration. Rest assured that these lines will move much quicker than the line for the elevator! If there is a wait, your guide will use this time to explain the fascinating history of the Tower’s creation.
- Eiffel Tower - The City of Light will emerge before your eyes as you climb the steps to the 2nd level observation deck, while enjoying your guide’s insightful commentary.
Here, you’ll be able to take in more of the city’s most iconic landmarks including the Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysses, and Notre Dame. Once you are finished admiring the spectacular views, you can choose to take the stairs or the elevator back to the ground floor to continue your Parisian adventure!
Upon booking you can upgrade your Eiffel Tower experience by adding a visit to the highest level: the summit! Your guide will accompany you straight to the Summit, give you some free time to enjoy the panoramic views before returning to the 2nd floor to carry on with your panoramic tour
