Itinerary

Your tour begins near the Eiffel Tower

You’ll meet your guide near the Eiffel Tower. Look for the exact location on your booking voucher. Here, you’ll get a quick orientation before heading through the gates together.

Eiffel Tower Entry

After heading through security, pause beneath the iron giant for a proper “wow” moment. Tune in as your guide shares a bit of backstory, so you know exactly what you’re looking at.

Climb to the first level

The climb starts gently as you follow the staircase up to the first level. Each landing gives you a better peek at Paris spreading out around you. It’s a fun, steady pace with plenty of chances to catch your breath and take in the view.

Glass floor experience

Walk the thrilling glass floor suspended 188 feet above the ground. Your guide points out Parisian sights below as you take in the rare downward-facing perspective.

Climb to the second level

Next, continue the ascent to the second level, where Paris really comes into focus. Landmarks like the Champs-Élysées and Arc de Triomphe feel close enough to touch. Your guide helps you spot each one while you enjoy the breeze and the height.

Elevator ride to the summit

Then, you’ll board the elevator for the final push to the summit—906 feet above Paris. At the top, enjoy unmatched views of the Seine, Sacré-Cœur, and the city’s elegant layout.

Your tour finishes at the Eiffel Tower

Your guide wraps things up inside the tower, but you don’t have to rush off. Stick around the platforms, grab a few extra photos, or just soak in the panorama. You’re free to enjoy the tower at your own pace from here.
