About this tour
Skip the queues and ascend the Eiffel Tower with a private guide who handles tickets and logistics. This 90-minute tour starts at a meeting point near the monument, where your host delivers background on the tower's engineering and history before you both take the lift to the first and second floors. Your guide interprets the panoramic views across Paris and captures photographs throughout, leaving you free to absorb rather than scramble.
Highlights
- Pre-booked lift tickets—no queue wrestling
- Private guide in six languages available
- First and second-floor access by elevator
- Professional photography of your visit included
- Meeting point 2 minutes from tower entrance
- Wheelchair accessible throughout
What to expect
Your guide meets you 15 minutes before your slot at a designated spot within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower. After a brief talk on the structure's history and Gustave Eiffel's vision, you'll head to the entrance together. Your guide holds the tickets and shepherds you through security, then boards the lift with you. On each floor, expect informed commentary on landmarks visible from that vantage point—the Seine's arc, neighbourhood layouts, distant monuments—plus time to enjoy the views. Your guide will take photos to document the experience.
