Overview

This one-of-a-kind adventure takes you on an immersive journey and discover Paris from a breathtaking perspective! Step into the footsteps of Gustave Eiffel himself and experience the Eiffel Tower as he once did—by climbing its stairs! Unlike most visitors who take the elevator, you’ll walk up the stairs, enjoying a truly immersive experience filled with stunning views and fascinating stories. At every step, your expert guide will unveil the incredible history, engineering marvels, and hidden secrets of this world-famous monument.
Once you reach the second level, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the most beautiful view of Paris by taking the elevator all the way to the very top. At 276 meters more than 900 feet high, soak in the ultimate panoramic views of Paris, a once-in-a-lifetime moment you won’t want to miss!

Important note : The summit may close unexpectedly at the operator’s discretion. If this happens and you’ve booked summit access, you’ll receive a partial refund.

Return details
This tour ends at the Eiffel Tower

  • Eiffel Tower
    Ascend the Eiffel Tower as Gustave Eiffel intended—on foot. He believed walking offered the best experience, so we created the original Eiffel Tower Guided Climb. Follow your local guide inside to learn about its engineering, design, and once-controversial story. Pause on the first floor to see a salvaged spiral staircase and step onto the glass floor for a unique vantage point. Then continue to the second level for sweeping views of the Louvre, Notre Dame, Montmartre, the Seine, and beyond. Treat yourself to macarons or shop for souvenirs before your guided tour concludes. If you’ve selected the summit upgrade, board a glass-walled elevator to the pinnacle. Peek into Gustave Eiffel’s restored office—complete with wax figures of Claire and Thomas Edison—and explore historical exhibits. If you’d like a toast at the champagne bar, please note any drinks are at your own expense. Per tower rules, head straight to the summit from the second floor, then revisit the lower levels afterward.

  • Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
  • The summit may close unexpectedly at the tower's discretion. If this happens and you’ve booked summit access, you’ll receive a partial refund.
  • During peak periods, security checks can sometimes take as long as an hour.
  • According to tower regulations, if you book the summit, you must visit the top first before exploring the lower floors.
  • If you chose the cruise option: It’s a 1-hour Seine River cruise with Bateaux Parisiens, departing from the Eiffel Tower. Admire Paris’s top landmarks like Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and the Musée d'Orsay, with audio commentary available in 14 languages. Cruises run daily, every 30 minutes from 10:30 AM to 10:30 PM. Your tour guide will give you the tickets on the day of the tour, and they’re valid for 1 year.
