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.

Ruth was amazing! She shared so much knowledge about the Eiffel tower the wait in line seemed to go by very quickly. The climb to the second level wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. The views were phenomenal and doing it around sunset added so much to an already great experience because the lights on the tower came on. Stopping on the first floor and looking through a glass floor to the people on the street was crazy. Unfortunately because of technical difficulties we were not able to do the summit, but still a fantastic tour.
Great Climb

Sharon was wonderful. We enjoyed climbing the 674 steps to the second deck and she gave us a great tour of the top after we took the elevator. We loved it!
Very Good

The Eiffel Tower tour was great. Our guide got us up to the first floor and explained some of the history. We were then set loose to take the stairs to one more floor, then the elevator to the top.

Our family had a great time climbing the Eiffel Tower and learning about its history from our knowledgeable guide. We could not have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend The Tour Guide.

Highly recommend the Eiffel Tower Climbing Tour! The climb itself was great, and the views from the top were absolutely beautiful. Our guide, Olena, was excellent—she let us climb at our own pace and was incredibly knowledgeable. We really appreciated the extra background and details she shared, which made the entire experience so much better!

This was booked thru tour guy. But the vendor was Uncle Sam tours. Our tour guide JD was so fun and knowledgeable. He even helped other people who lost their tour. The tower opened late and closed early due to heat that day. I’m glad we booked for early morning

Our tour was postponed due to rain on the stairs. But the communication from Tour Guy was great and they proposed a later time (and other options) and elevator instead of stairs for a small upcharge. We accepted and were thrilled with the 7pm tour with only 6 in our group. The guide was very informative and great, conducting the tour in English for two of us and French for four Canadians.
Excellent tour!

First of all, great communication from the company, was given a meeting point and it was smooth sailing. Met with the group, all very nice folks. Gilbert, our tour guide, was excellent. I hope you all get him too and he gets to do more tours because the guy knew his stuff, had a good sense of humor and navigated us around seamlessly. We had a great time at the Eiffel Tower, learned a lot, got to get to the summit and also walked the steps down too. Great experience and day. A must do I think for any Paris traveler.

Yeju was a cheerful and engaging tour guide, and provided lots of history and interesting details about the Eiffel Tower while we waited in line for entry and throughout the entire tour. She came with helpful photos so we could better understand the evolution of the design and construction. We got so much more out of our visit thanks to Yeju! She was an excellent guide!
Wonderful Experience!
