Eiffel Tower Summit or 2nd Floor Elevator Access in Paris

Explore the Eiffel Tower on a shared guided tour or at your own pace with an audio guide. Look across Paris toward Notre Dame, Sacré-Cœur, and the Arc de Triomphe from the structure built for the 1889 World's Fair. Audio-guide visits include an escort to the entrance, not a guided tour.

• Ride the elevator to the 2nd floor, with summit access included in selected options
• Explore with audio commentary available in 10 languages on audio-guide options
• Glide along the Seine on cruise-inclusive options for views of Notre-Dame and the Louvre

What's Included

• English-speaking guide on English-guided options
• Chinese-speaking guide and radio devices on the Chinese-guided cruise option
• English-speaking escort from the meeting point to the entrance on audio-guide options

Important details

• All ages are welcome. Children aged 0–3 enter free on audio-guide options.
• English-guided tours are not wheelchair- or stroller-accessible. The Chinese-guided tour is not wheelchair-accessible. The 2nd-floor audio-guide option is wheelchair-accessible, but the summit is not wheelchair- or stroller-accessible.
• On English-guided tours and the summit audio-guide option, pets are not allowed except service animals with valid identification.
• If you use an audio pen with a map on the summit audio-guide option, a €30 deposit is collected in person and refunded when you return it. This deposit is not included in the listed price.
• Re-entry is not allowed on English-guided tours or audio-guide visits. On English-guided tours and the summit audio-guide option, do not bring bottles, firecrackers, lasers, or other dangerous or disruptive items.
• The summit may close because of bad weather, maintenance, or safety concerns.
• Reserved access does not eliminate security or elevator queues. English-guided tours may face waits of up to 25 minutes to reach the 2nd floor in high season, plus another 20 minutes for summit lifts. Summit audio-guide visits may face waits of up to an hour.
• Arrive 15 minutes early for English-guided tours, 10 minutes early for the Chinese-guided tour, 20 minutes early for the 2nd-floor audio-guide option, and 30 minutes early for the summit audio-guide option. English-guided tours do not admit late arrivals. Late arrivals and no-shows receive no refund on guided tours and the 2nd-floor audio-guide option.
• For a late-evening English-guided tour with a cruise, take the cruise first: elevator queues may prevent you from returning in time for the final sailing.
