OMG.. this was the most amazing thing I have seen.. it was amazing. the dancers, the colours the entertainment was next level. The experience of purchasing through Headout made everything so easy especially when I haven't travelled overseas in mearly 20 years and that was before the internet and online purchasing was even a thing.. I have continued to book my other adventures throughout Paris, Italy and Croatia with Headout as its an easy website to use, has a fantastic choice to do things when you don't know what to do or what's even around to see in places you haven't been to. I Absolutely rate this site 100%.

Our tour to the Eiffel Tower was absolutely amazing and highly interesting from start to finish. If you are visiting Paris, this experience is a absolute must-see. Here is why we loved it: • Fascinating History: The guide shared incredible stories about the construction and secrets of the tower that we never knew before. • Breathtaking Views: Seeing the Paris skyline from the top platforms was an unforgettable highlight. • Great Organization: The entire tour was smooth, well-paced, and genuinely fun. We had a super time and highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a perfect Parisian adventure!

Once in Paris the communication was great. All question were responded to right away. Our tour guide Andrei was amazing. So knowledgeable, kind, and attentive he made our last day in Parisnperfect. I would book another tour with this company in the future. He walked us step by step. If I would change anything it would be to give a little more detail about the tour before hand. I didn't realize we could have taken the river cruise any day and it would have been nice to know the different times of the cruises. But it all work out amazingly.

Our guide Charlie is highly commendable that I'm so grateful to him. We got lost and unable to find the meeting place. My husband and I gave up and count it as a loss and decided to just go to Eiffel solo. Then Charlie called me and gave instructions to meet him at the Eiffel. We met with the group and he gave us a brief history of Eiffel. The group also o enjoyed his tour. High praises for Charlie and your tour company. It shows you care about your customers!!

It was our first time in Paris, and we wanted to go up the Eiffel Tower safely and without long waits. Booking through headhout was a huge help. From meeting the host to having champagne at the top of the tower, everything went off without a hitch. It was an amazing experience!!! It's just a shame that despite over 2 million visitors from Germany, guided tours are only offered in English.

The tour started right on time at the meeting point. The tour guide was very polite and shared a lot of interesting facts about the Eiffel Tower. The group got through the entrance gates and security check comparatively quickly. Our guide Charli constantly kept an eye on the small group and coordinated us well. Definitely a great choice for visiting the Eiffel Tower.

I had a wonderful experience visiting the Eiffel Tower. The whole experience was well organized, and the highlight was having such a kind and considerate guide. They were very helpful, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the visit. The guide shared interesting information about the Eiffel Tower and helped make the experience even more memorable. It was a fantastic day and a beautiful way to discover one of Paris’s most iconic landmarks.

Good tour however guide didn't come to the summit with us. Also poor communication regarding change of venue resulting in delayed start and additional walking to meet guide. Headout admin team refused to acknowledge that there was a venue change - comms need to improve

Booking this was very smooth, and the information provided before the activity was great. The guide was very knowledgeable and engaging, and the entry process was simple. A bit hazy, but the Eiffel Tower still delivers a fantastic experience.

It goes without saying that this world famous structure is a magnificent piece of structural engineering. The views from the top were magnificent and we were fortunate to have brilliant weather to enjoy this aspect.

Explore the Eiffel Tower on a 90-minute small-group guided tour with reserved elevator access to the summit or second floor.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the Eiffel Tower entrance and join your small group of 10 to 20 guests. After ticket check and the standard security screening, your guide organizes the group and explains how the reserved elevator access works for your chosen level, either the summit or the second floor. You then proceed toward the elevators to start your guided visit.

What to expect

Experience Paris’s most famous landmark with an expert live guide, available in English, Italian, or Spanish depending on the option you select.

Features

Ride the elevator with reserved access to either the summit or the second floor, as per the option selected, with additional access to the 1st floor included.

From the upper levels, look out over key Paris landmarks such as the Seine River, the Champs de Mars, and the wider city skyline as your guide points out major sights.

Hear stories and facts about the tower’s construction, history, and role in Paris, tailored to a small-group setting of 10 to 20 guests so it stays easy to follow and ask questions.

Spend about 90 minutes with your expert English, Italian, or Spanish-speaking guide, then continue exploring the tower’s levels independently once the guided portion ends.

Wrapping up

If you select the Seine River cruise option, your experience continues with a separate 1-hour boat ride on the Seine, giving you another perspective on the Eiffel Tower and central Paris from the water.

What to bring

Individuals must present a valid form of identification, such as a passport or ID card, to access the tower grounds.

What's not allowed
