Overview

See a different side of Paris’s ‘Iron Lady’ on a guided climbing tour of the Eiffel Tower. Take the slow and scenic route and climb the stairs! Learn all about the construction, controversies, and mystique surrounding the iconic tower from a guide as you ascend to the second level, admiring Gustave Eiffel’s intricate design from angles and viewpoints that most visitors miss. It’s an adventurous way to go behind the scenes—and under the beams—of one of the world’s most popular attractions.

Meeting points

PLEASE NOTE: The meeting point is NOT at the Eiffel Tower. The meeting point is located outside the 1 Avenue Elisée Reclus, at the intersection between Avenue Silvestre de Sacy and Avenue Elisée Reclus. Your guide will be waiting for you on the intersection of the two streets.

Conclusion Point: 2nd Floor of the Eiffel Tower

Itinerary

  • N/A

    Begin your tour near the base of the Eiffel Tower, where your expert guide will give you an introduction to the structure. From here, walk with your guide to the ticket entrance of the Eiffel Tower where you’ll have your first opportunity for a close-up look at the monument while we arrange your tickets. Please note that during busy periods, there may be a wait to access the ticket desk, as well as to clear the security and stairs lines. If there is a wait, your guide will use this time to share engaging stories and historical insights about the Tower’s creation. This comprehensive tour typically lasts around 2 hours, but wait times for security checks can sometimes extend the tour duration

    20 minutes

  • Eiffel Tower

    The City of Light will emerge before your eyes as you climb the steps to the 2nd level observation deck, while enjoying your guide’s insightful commentary. Here, you'll be able to take in more of the city's most iconic landmarks including the Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysses, and Notre Dame. Once you are finished admiring the spectacular views, you can choose to take the stairs or the elevator back to the ground floor to continue your Parisian adventure! Upon booking you can upgrade your Eiffel Tower experience by adding a visit to the highest level: the summit! After arriving at the second floor, you will have free time to take the elevator up to the summit (3rd level) for the best panoramic views Paris has to offer. Please note that access to the summit is subject to availability upon arrival.
