What You Can Expect
Skip the Line: Eiffel Tower Tickets and Guided Tour
Hear the story of the man behind the Tower, Gustave Eiffel, and learn about the wonders behind this architectural and engineering feat as you view it up close. Hear the details of the World’s Fair of 1889, the year the tower was built. The first level offers a great cinematic theater where you can see exclusive video of the tower’s storied 120-plus-year history. It also features one of the original spiral staircases that Gustave himself used daily to reach his office on the top level.
Eiffel Tower 2nd Level
On the second level, your guide will allow ample time to take in the best views that Paris has to offer. With two tiers on the second level, there is plenty of space to hear your tour guide explain the countless stunts and anecdotes from the tower’s past. You’ll be entertained with stories about crazy exploits (like planes flying underneath the tower) and the tower’s role in everything from world wars to Hollywood movies.
Eiffel Tower 1st Level and the Eiffel Tower Summit (3rd Level)
Upon the conclusion of the tour, your time on the Eiffel Tower doesn’t have to end; the price includes tickets to the first level and the summit of the tower too. At the summit, purchase a glass of Champagne to enjoy while you stare out over the City of Light. The skip-the-line access you receive for the first two levels does not include the 3rd level; everyone must wait for one elevator, but the line doesn't usually last longer than 30 minutes – a short time to wait to stand at the top of the Eiffel Tower!
This tour provides skip-the-line priority, but is subject to all procedures and security requirements of the Eiffel Tower.
Customer Reviews
June 2013
I would highly recommend this tour because you don't have to wait in any of the long lines to purchase tickets and to go up the elevator. Our tour included the ticket to the 3rd floor (top floor) of the Eiffel Tower which was great because we didn't have to wait in any lines on the 2nd floor to purchase them. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent history lesson of the Tower as well Paris and the surrounding buildings, King Louis XIV-XVI, etc. The group tour was approximately 2 hours, and then we had free time on the 3rd floor. So all in all, we ended up being in the tower itself for almost 4 hours! Well worth the views of Paris.

My wife and I just got back from two weeks in London and Paris. This tour was the most outstanding of the six tours we booked through Viator. Not that the other tours/guides were not great, they were, but Niamh, the tour guide for the Eiffel Tower was all you could ask for. She was poised, confident, and most important, really knew her stuff. Having a great sense of humor did not hurt either ! Consider making her a VP...
