My favorite spot was at the base of the Eiffel Tower. People often focus on the rest of the structure, but this part really inspired me!!! I was able to appreciate the architecture and see just how massive it is. Our guide was extraordinary: she knows the area inside and out, she’s interactive, and she gets us involved. We ask questions, and she answers them. She makes us laugh. She can compare the heights of several world-famous buildings—like the Empire State Building and the Skype Tower in Toronto—with the Eiffel Tower. She knows the history of this building inside and out, and the way she tells it to us is so vivid!!!! We’ll take the Seine river cruise very soon—it was hot, but it was truly amazing!!!!

A fun, quick tour, with some interesting facts about the tower and the sights visible from it, efficient service, and a friendly guide who spoke English and Spanish. After the guided portion, there was free time on the tower. The package included a sightseeing boat cruise at any time or day—the line was intimidating at first, but around 10 p.m. we waited our 35 minutes, and in return we got to enjoy the cruise during prime time with Paris all lit up. Overall, everyone was satisfied.

Experience Paris from two unique perspectives—soaring above the city at the Eiffel Tower and cruising along the Seine—without any extra travel time in between.

Join a guided tour from the ground floor to the Eiffel Tower’s second floor with elevator access to the first and second floors.

Expect wait times during peak season, but your guide ensures a smooth, informative journey to the top.

Then, relax on a 1-hour Seine River cruise, passing iconic landmarks with live commentary that brings Paris’s history to life.

Upgrade to summit access for unmatched views from 905 feet above the ground—the ultimate Parisian experience.

The combo Eiffel Tour and River Seine cruise was just the ticket! We were able to schedule a late-night Eiffel visit, which included the rising of the pink moon and the sparkling light show visible from all of Paris. Our guide was informative and fun. Thanks to Headout for this amazing opportunity!

Great location, very friendly receptionist. We avoided the lines by buying prepaid tickets and were able to go to the top without any problems. It was a lifesaver because my original plans had been canceled due to the heat, and they had last-minute tickets available. Excellent

It was amazing; our guide, Ekatelle, was great—she treated everyone with care and attention. Everything went very smoothly, and afterward we took a boat tour on the Seine. Everything was great—no complaints and not a single negative detail.

It was a negative experience because I thought the guide would be inside the Tower. However, after figuring out where to go—and due to bad weather, as there was a storm that lasted about 15 minutes—I arrived at the meeting point at 7:05 p.m., and the tour was scheduled for 7:00 p.m. I couldn’t find the guide anymore, and my wife and I lost 118 euros, and I had to pay extra to go up the Tower. I tried to explain what had happened, but it was no use. At 6:20 p.m., I was inside the Tower and didn’t know I was supposed to go to a meeting point outside—partly because I didn’t know the language very well—and by the time I figured out where to go, I’d lost some time. In the meantime, a storm had rolled in, and I arrived at the meeting point 5 minutes late, only to find that they had already left. The bottom line is that I lost my money and had to pay again to go up the Tower without being able to take the boat tour on the Seine.

Soar above Paris with a guided Eiffel Tower tour, then glide along the Seine on a 1-hour cruise, taking in the city's iconic landmarks from two perspectives.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the Eiffel Tower and head to your designated entrance (East, West, or South) based on your ticket type.

For this reason, your experience at the Eiffel Tower may lasts between 2 to 4 hours.

After your Eiffel Tower tour, head to the boarding point for the Seine River Cruise which is located at a 5-minute walking distance from the tower.
