Know before you book

  • Children aged 3 and younger are complimentary
  • This 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. However, rest assured that your guide will keep you entertained and provide insightful information.
  • Please be advised that this tour is NOT wheelchair accessible as the Eiffel Tower has a separate entry for those with mobility impairments. You are encouraged to either book a private tour or visit the Eiffel Tower on your own using the priority entrance.
  • Per Eiffel Tower rules, if you upgrade your tour to see the summit, Eiffel Tower staff requires you to go straight to the summit as soon as you reach the second floor. You'll still be able to explore both the first and second floors on your own after the summit if you choose.
  • If you’ve booked the summit upgrade but the summit is closed when you receive your tickets from your tour guide, the summit portion of your tour will be refunded, and you’ll still enjoy a visit to the second floor.

What you can expect

ExperienceFirst invites you on an exhilarating journey up the Eiffel Tower! As you ascend, our expert local guide will share captivating stories and intriguing facts about this iconic landmark and its surroundings. Get ready for an unforgettable exploration of history and breathtaking views of Paris from above!

After your check-in with our friendly ground team, your guide gets your ticket so you can ascend to the second level together. Learn about Gustave Eiffel's remarkable journey from engineer to legendary builder, and delve into the rich tapestry of Parisian history.

On the second level, discover hidden gems like the tower's original colour, the dazzling lights, and the trailblazing individuals who left their mark on history. Take in the mesmerising views of Paris' landmarks as your guide provides fascinating insights into the city from this elevated perspective.

Choose the summit option for a swift lift ride to the top. Sip champagne at the bar, enjoy 360-degree views from inside and outside, and even encounter wax figures of Gustave Eiffel and Thomas Edison in their summit office. Please note, the summit may temporarily close for various reasons, but if your guide can't give you a summit ticket, we'll ensure you receive a refund — excellent customer service is one of the top reasons ExperienceFirst is highly rated!

For summit access, it's essential to go directly there after the second floor, as per Eiffel Tower regulations. After your summit visit, take your time exploring the first and second floors on your way down.

And there's more! If you've chosen the cruise option, enjoy a one-hour Seine River boat cruise, offering a unique perspective of Paris. These tickets are valid for a year, so use them at your convenience after your Eiffel Tower adventure. We'll hand them to you during your Eiffel Tower tour check-in, so please be on time. Missing your tour may mean missing out on this fantastic cruise!

Summit was closed. Spent an hour on chat attempting to explain and ask for refund. Same yesterday with Arch de triomphe (also closed for no apparent reason) Things happen - fair enough, but no notification and tickets for both attractions only issued this week. Being on live chat for an hour at a time is not acceptable. Refund of unused attraction is not acceptable, but alas - they won’t compensate. Society doesn’t anymore. No ownership of blame. Companies are experts in wriggling out of anything

Our tour guide Bayo was excellent and even seranaded us with a bit of Adele on the second level. Informative tour and the Eiffel Tower is a must if you visit Paris. Combined with a night time Seine cruise which departs from just opposite the tower and you get to experience the magical twinkling tower in the dark. Spectacular.

Guide collected tickets for whole group. At that time summit shut due to volume of people. However guide informed us it may open later. Summit did open after tour finished but only then realised tickets valid only to 2nd floor so not possible to go up any further. Tour guide did not give any indication that if summit did open would not be able to visit, or how to view as we had paid for summit. Summit not closed due to bad weather which would accept, lovely sunny day! Very disappointed with experience.

This is not a Skip the line and I understand that Experiencefirst.com agent has purchased right then and there for people who are in. We are half way through the line and they have closed the Summit tickets. So despite of booking early Summit by elevators we could do only level 2 and there is no way that we could offer our refund. On the other hand it is not skip the line they will take you to direct ticket booth and buy tickets and had to queue in like everyone else. The tour guide James he just laughing all the day and had very poor knowledge about it and least interested. We are very disappointed with the tour with family of 2 adults and 2 kids…
