Itinerary

Your tour begins at Avenue Elisée Reclus

You'll meet your guide in Avenue Elisée Reclus alongside a small group of 20 people or fewer. Your guide will share captivating stories about the tower's controversial construction while handling your tickets, so you can soak in those first stunning views of this iconic monument.

Security checkpoint and 2nd floor elevator

After a quick security check, you'll ride the elevator 377 feet up to the 2nd-floor observation deck. The city unfolds below, spot the Arc de Triomphe, the green ribbon of the Champs-Élysées, and Notre Dame's famous towers.

Summit elevator ride

Next, a glass-walled elevator carries you to the top visitor level, 905 feet above the streets. From up here, Paris stretches to the horizon in every direction. You can peek into Gustave Eiffel's original office or grab Champagne at the bar.

1st floor glass floor experience

Then you'll head back down to the 1st floor, where a magical experience awaits. You'll walk across a suspended glass floor 182 feet above the ground, watching the River Seine wind directly beneath your feet.

Your tour finishes on the 1st floor

Your guided portion wraps up here, but there's no rush to leave. Stick around to browse souvenirs, grab a snack, or ride back up to soak in those views one more time at your own pace.

Our guide was great! She helped us get through the crowds, provided important and fun facts while keeping us pointed in the correct direction. After showing us all the important details and guiding us to the top she left us with clear instructions on how to explore on our own. The view with champagne was amazing.

Great tour of Eiffel Tower

There were issues with the time that we were supposed to take our tour. They were unrelated to the Tourguy. They gave us great options, but they would not fit into our current schedule. Their Customer Service team was so helpful and helping us cancel our charges. Even though we didn’t get a chance to take our tour, not the fault of the tour guy. I’m giving them a five star for all their communication and efforts to accommodate us. Based on their attentiveness, I would definitely recommend them.
