A very informative, entertaining tour that—thanks to the tour guide’s experience—stayed right on schedule despite the very high number of visitors (on a Tuesday afternoon in early August). Without a tour guide, we definitely wouldn’t have made it to the second floor—let alone the top of the tower—by the end of the day, given the huge crowds lining up everywhere ;) So: Highly recommended.

The meeting place is great. The guide was very friendly and efficient; he spoke English and Spanish perfectly. We got in with almost no wait. He dropped us off on the second floor and gave us tickets for the boat that we could use any day. Of course, the best time is at sunset, followed by seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up at night.

I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Eiffel Tower. Our guide was extraordinarily attentive and sweet with the entire group. He took the time to explain what we were looking at from every floor, giving us fascinating insights into the landmark. His patient and warm personality made the whole visit an absolute pleasure from start to finish.

We booked a guided tour of the Eiffel Tower combined with a boat ride on the Seine. Due to technical issues with the train, we missed our scheduled time. Through the chat, we were told that we could ask the guide for the next group if we could join them. That wasn’t a problem at all—thank you so much. We really enjoyed our outing!

OK, I don't normally do tours or rate tours, but this was so easy to book and the Access that provided was so compelling. I just had to share it with the Rusty out there sudden who you should use or what you should do. The Headout tours app is super easy to use the tour I went on, but it's really nice. Will definitely use again.

Our guide was fantastic and told us she had done over 3,000 Eiffel tours already this year. She knew exactly where to go and provided fantastic facts about the structure, its creators, and its upkeep. She guided us to the bottom floor and showed us where to go for the top floor viewing. Great experience!

It was my first time in Paris. I did appreciate the guidence, although I felt it was a given very fast. The meeting place could have been closer to the tower. I love the Siene tour. I feel is the best way to get a full picture of all the places in Paris.

We had no trouble finding the meeting point with the guide and were able to take the tour on time. We were pleased with the guide’s storytelling and warmth. The Sen River tour was a lot of fun. The 6:30 p.m. tour time was the right choice for August.

We visited the Eiffel Tower, along with a few other families. Our guide, Pierre, took us up to the tower and told us lots of interesting stories and fun facts. It was a really wonderful experience. We also had a combo ticket that included a boat tour on the Seine. We took that tour in the evening. It was beautiful to see, but there were so many people on the boat that it wasn’t enjoyable anymore.

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

Ensure you have a valid ID for entry, as it may be required for ticket validation. Expect some wait time at the security check, up to 2 hours during peak period. 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.
