Evening tickets for the Eiffel Tower are in high demand, so don't hesitate to book your perfect night in Paris! After meeting your friendly local guide near the riverbank at the bottom of the steps at Pont d'Iena and Quai Branly, your tour begins with a boat cruise along the Seine River. With a glass of champagne (or a soft drink) in hand, you’ll cruise along the Seine River for around an hour, taking in many of the city’s most iconic sites before reaching the Eiffel Tower.
Next, your guide will help you skip the line for an experience you'll remember forever! With your elevator tickets, you'll head to second floor of the Eiffel Tower as it glitters with light, and you’ll enjoy the ultimate view of Paris at its best—with the city lights glimmering in the night sky. After your tour has finished, you can choose to stay at the tower for as long as you like (or until it closes).

Paris Boat Tour Along the Seine
You'll begin your Paris by night experience with a magical cruise along the famous Seine River, enjoying the romantic views of the city in the twinkling hours around sunset. Follow your expert local guide onto the riverboat for your 1-hour ride along the river, with a refreshing glass of champagne (or soft drink) included.
Seine River cruises are the perfect way to enjoy the ambiance that the City of Light is known for. Float by the highlights of the city, including the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower in all its glory.
Eiffel Tower at Night
Paris’s beautiful streets and buildings truly come to life under the stars, and the best time to ascend the Eiffel Tower is around sunset, when the lights of the city and the Iron Lady shine brightly against the night sky. Along with your local guide, you'll breeze past the Eiffel Tower’s long lines and get priority access to the elevator which will take you up to the second floor. You'll hear stories about the construction of the Eiffel Tower and its meaning to the French people, as well as some fascinating tales about the history of Paris.
After your guide has introduced you to the tower, they'll wave goodbye and leave you to enjoy the unforgettable nighttime panoramic view of Paris as the lights of the tower twinkle around you. It's a special experience that'll stay with you forever as you look out over the Champs de Mars and the iconic skyline of the City of Lights!
Please note that the exact time of sunset changes throughout the year, and we are subject to available ticket times from the Eiffel Tower. Your tour might begin before sunset depending on the time of year.

Had us wait in pouring rain. Rain no fault to them. No easy access to either boat or Eiffel tower . I wouldn't waste my hard earned money with this company. They are a third party tour booker.
