Overview

Join us for a unique adventure climbing the iconic Eiffel Tower with an expert guide. Your experience begins at the base of the monument, where standard entry procedures, security screening, and ticket purchase take place before the ascent, with your guide accompanying you throughout. From the ground floor, enjoy a guided climb up to the second floor while learning about the tower’s history and design.

At the second floor, take in breathtaking views of Paris and spot landmarks such as Notre Dame, the Louvre, and Sacré-Cœur. Enjoy local French delicacies, including a macaron bar, while your guide explains how the Eiffel Tower’s lights work and shares recommendations for dining, shopping, and hotels.

Tickets are purchased on site and depend on the monument’s opening conditions. An optional summit upgrade may be available, offering access to exclusive exhibits, viewing platforms, and the champagne bar, subject to weather, technical operations, and visitor flow limits.
