About this tour
Skip the queues with a pre-booked ticket and self-guided audio app to explore the Eiffel Tower at your own rhythm. Ascend by lift to the second floor, where you'll scan Paris's skyline for Notre-Dame, Les Invalides, and beyond. The optional summit upgrade takes you to the iron lattice's peak for unobstructed 360-degree views across the city. Allow 1–2 hours depending on how long you linger at each level.

What to expect
Arrive at the meeting point where staff will brief you and confirm your audioguide app is ready on your phone. Take the elevator to the first floor, then up to the second level, where the audio commentary kicks in. You'll hear backstory about the tower's construction, the Paris landmarks visible below, and architectural details as you move between viewing platforms. If you've upgraded, a second lift takes you higher—the summit's wind and perspective shift noticeably. Weather or maintenance can close the top level without notice.
