What To Expect

Choose an entry time when booking; meet your host near the Eiffel Tower a half hour prior to your scheduled time. 

With your group, stroll the short distance to one of the world's busiest monuments. Head straight for the elevators, enjoying direct access to the second floor. Step out with your host to take in some of the best panoramic views in Paris from the viewing platform, 375 feet (114 meters) above the ground. Get a basic orientation to the sights and landmarks visible from your vantage point from your host, then explore the area at your leisure. Snap photos of the Louvre, Les Invalides, Sacré Coeur, and the Champ de Mars, among other standout Parisian highlights. 

After you've had your fill of the second level, proceed to the summit, where you can toast your trip with Champagne from the bar and view Gustave Eiffel's private apartments.

    Traveler Tips


    Just remember to arrive about 20 minutes before scheduled time and all attractions have security checks, so travel light.
    Queues can get a bit long but worth the (not too long) wait
    It can get a little scary but I would only say, don't look down.

    Eiffel Tower Summit 2024

    The experience was great thank you. The guide Thierry was awesome and very friendly. The weather was craxy but I managed to get beautiful photographs of Paris. Thank you Viator.
    Tour person is great the staff at office not so much
    Sharon_I, Mar 2024
    Our tour guide Zac was excellent! Very knowledgeable and funny. He was great. However the lounge 38 staff were rude, had to ask twice about my tour. They don’t let you know when your group is leaving. And if you ask they tell you off.
    It was okay
    Alan_C, Mar 2024
    Our guide did not talk to our group at all. The other groups had guides that told them about the Eiffel Tower.
    Amazing views of the city
    William_P, Mar 2024
    Gonzalo was an exceptional tour guide. He was very informative and friendly. His in depth knowledge of the Eiffel Tower and history of Paris added to our trip. If you’re looking for a quick tour up to the Eiffel Tower, look no further than this trip.
    Unforgettable
    Ashu_R, Mar 2024
    Very nice. Guide Santiago was very helpful. We we able to climb stairs, take photos, and relax. We will never forget this trip.
    Not ideal
    Sara_S, Mar 2024
    Experiencing the Eiffel Tower was great but I did not like the way this tour company runs their trips. You have to go to a tiny stuffy travel agency that is full of people and wait in a line for half an hour just to check in so that they can attempt to sell you more tours. Every other tour we have done we have just met the guide and checked in with them. They also did not have ear pieces so it was harder to hear the guide in a crowded and windy area and we learned less than we did on other tours. Bruno (our guide) was great but the way the tour company runs things was not.
    Great experience with a great guide - Bruno, thank you!
    Emmy_B, Mar 2024
    We had a good experience with this tour 1 and Bruno was a great guide! I had been a little concerned because some of the reviews said the tours left without people, but we arrived early and had no problem. Bruno had great drawings and photos of the history of the tower that gave interesting historic context - he was friendly, clear, patient and very knowledgeable - and had good relationships with the security personnel, too! He did a very nice job of explaining the process of the tour, too. We went to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd floors and then all the way to the top (where Gustavo Eiffel’s office is). Thank you!

    The tour says “with option to go to the top”. Once again (as with another Viator tour) totally false. We even called and asked and the guy said “oh yes, option to go to the top!” This is the last time I will use Viator. Totally misleading.
    Excellent t

    Tour guide was excellent and made it easy to pass lines and get to 2nd floor. She was very knowledgeable.
    Paris visit with teen son
    Christi_E, Mar 2024
    Our tour guide Zach was great. He had a good sense of humor and shared some interesting facts before the tour. It was nice that he led us up to the Eiffel and then let us explore on our own. I would recommend to others.

    My tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging. She made my experience incredibly enjoyable and I left the Eiffel Tower with a new appreciation for the landmark.
    Unexpected
    Daniel_C, Mar 2024
    Had a great time with Zak our guide very knowledgable and enjoyed his jokes. Was one of the unlucky ones that got stuck up the summit with broken lifts so had to walk down! But hey how many people can say they’ve done that. Thanks
    Did not disappoint
    Erin_V, Mar 2024
    The guide was very kind and knew what he was talking about. Would definitely recommend for those who are new to the city.
    Salome was a delight!...
    Nancy_B, Mar 2024
    Salome was a delight! Knowledgeable, witty and fun! We had a great experience booking our Eiffel Tower tour w/ Paris Loung through Viator.
    Not worth it! Complete FLOP
    Amy_J, Mar 2024
    Extremely expensive for nothing more than skipping the lines. The guide gave little commentary and the summit was closed. We were told that we would be reimbursed for the summit portion but when I requested the refund it came back as $10 refund per person. NOT WORTH IT!
    Breathtaking experience on Eiffel Tower
    Pavlos_K, Mar 2024
    That was a great and breathtaking experience. Our guide (Maisa) was very helpful and explanatory, always willing to answer any question, and provide relevant info. I highly recommend @parislounge and Maisa as preferred guide! As a small drawback the long queues even with the priority ticket.
    Amazing!
    Alicia_A, Mar 2024
    Very happy with our experience. Bruno our tour guide was amazing, very friendly and gave us lots of information about the Eiffel Tower.
    Wonderful & informative tour with Maisa!
    Michele_B, Mar 2024
    Our tour with Maisa was wonderful! She was very informative and made our visit to the Eiffel Tower a seamless experience.
    Very disappointed
    Mary_W, Mar 2024
    I booked a train to get to France and the trains went on strike. I called the day before to try to reschedule my tour of the Eiffel… no one would help me !!! So I never got to do it! They kept my money!!!! Not happy with this at all!!! Bought my tickets two months ahead
    Good way to get a nice overview and get up the tower easily.
    Kimberly_W, Mar 2024
    Maise provides Interesting information. I thought the history portion was a bit short but good. Tour size was manageable.
