About this tour

Eiffel Tower Summit Tour

The Eiffel Tower is the most visited monument in the world — and with an expert guide and skip-the-line access, it becomes something completely different. Bypass the queues that can stretch to three hours in summer, enter via the reserved entrance, and discover the extraordinary story of Gustave Eiffel's controversial masterpiece with a guide who knows every detail, every angle, and every hidden story.

Your private tour covers the tower's remarkable engineering history, the hidden details that casual visitors miss, the best photography spots on every level, and — with the summit option — the extraordinary view from 276 metres that takes in the entire Île-de-France region. A completely different experience to visiting alone.

💡
