Private Eiffel Tower Guided Tour with Summit Access

Once you meet the guide the tour will begin, pick up a headset to hear the details provided by your guide of one of the world’s greatest & famous monuments. You’ll bypass these notoriously long lines to ascend to the 2nd floor. Listen to the guide as he reveals some of the interesting stories about the tower's construction and history of how useful it was in First World War and how it was almost torn down and sold for scraps. 

Your guide will also share tips and advice on the best ways to visit the city's major monuments. From there as you arrive at the 2nd level, you’ll be stunned by the bird’s-eye view you’ll see. The panoramic view of the iconic monuments such as the Notre-Dame de Paris and the golden domes of Les Invalides, views of the Egyptian obelisk on Place de la Concorde and the magnificent roof of the Grand Palais. 

The guide will also point out the Louvre Museum and Sacré Coeur basilica, as it’ll be a different perspective when viewing from the top, along with other landmarks such as the Pompidou Centre and Pont Alexander III bridge over the River Seine. 

Stop at the museum on the 1st floor as you make your way down, and brave the walk on the glass floor 57 meters (187 feet) above street level and you’ll appreciate unparalleled views of the wrought iron lattice Tower. After the two hours of the guided tour ends, the guide will then leave you to enjoy the Eiffel tower at your own pace.
