Unforgettable Eiffel Tower Summit Tour – Thanks to Joanna! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finding our guide was easy, and from the very beginning, Joanna stood out with her professionalism. She gave us a clear safety briefing and set expectations early on—there was no skip-the-line access, and we might have to wait. And we did—almost two hours! But honestly, it didn’t feel that long at all because Joanna kept us thoroughly engaged. With her arsenal of fun facts, quirky trivia, and rich history of the Eiffel Tower, she turned what could’ve been a frustrating wait into an educational and entertaining part of the experience. Her energy, knowledge, and customer service were second to none—hands down the best I’ve encountered during my entire trip in Paris. Joanna didn’t just guide us to the top—she elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended!

We lucked out being the only one on the tour and it was the night of my 40th birthday- it felt so special! Rafael was a fantastic guide- he walked us up through some beautiful photo spots, took lots of pictures of my husband and I, and answered all of our questions not just about the Eiffel Tower but about life in Paris. It wasn't a crowded night but it was still so nice to follow someone who knew exactly where to go and just be able to take it all in. Highly recommend this experience!

What a great experience from start to finish almost :) we started the tour outside the pick up address and like most we arrived early tami the tour guide was amazing but she was just filling in as Abbie our actual guide was running late due to metro issue. That being said tami was amazing got us through security and to the lift quickly and efficiently. Abbie arrived just as we where about to board the lift very apologetic and with her note book in hand proceeded to take our tour with an abundance of information. We loved it the kids loved it and it was an amazing experience we will never forget. Thinking of doing one I'd definitely recommend it the Eiffel Tower is a must!

I am happy with this experience because it was one of my wife's birthday presents-she was really happy and that's what counts! Unfortunately, however, I must observe that the one and a half hour wait to go up the tower was really too long and inexplicable! Especially since having already bought tickets we should have had priority. Luckily we had a very nice and very good guide Mademoiselle LIZ who entertained us by telling us the history of Eiffel, many funny stories and many anecdotes that made the wait less heavy.

Efi our tour guide made the experience very enjoyable and was very knowledgeable in the information he provided. He took time and made the effort to inclue everybody in the tour. The weather took a turn for the worse but actually made it more enjoyable. We got to experience a storm whilst at the summit and it made the experience all the more memorable.

Our tour Guide, Sol, was a 10/10! Her english was clear and easy to understand. Her enthusiasm was great! She was patient, informed, with an engaging delivery of the information. She was eager to answer any questions, made sure our group of 7 was kept together, patiently acted as photographer for everyone in the group, and provided a great history of the tower. The boat ride was pleasant, but with much less info provided about the buildings along the way.

Informative tour, starting place was easy to find. Abi was a great tour guide - informative and lively. Also got a good deal on a river cruise by buying tickets onsite at the office.
Navigate the security and ticket line easily with the help of a host, then explore the tower at your own pace.
- Everything you get: Meet your host at the designated point, get escorted through queues, and let your host line up for validating your tickets on your behalf. Then, head to the elevators and enjoy access to the 2nd floor or summit, as you explore each floor at leisure.

- Upgrades: With Eiffel Tower a convenient boarding point located 5-minutes away, enhance your experience with an optional Seine River cruise that gives you two stunning perspectives of the city: from the heights and the waters.

One of the highlights was certainly the guide itself. Chinelo. A fashion design student in Paris. She bridged the long wait in front of the elevator with charm and a lot of knowledge. She was entertaining, led the group well and kept us in a good mood. Especially in the annoying time before the elevators. I wish her every success and that Chinelo can guide many more people to the Eiffel Tower.

The meeting point was easy to get to and very close to the Eiffel Tower , our host was brilliant she was very informative , she also was very good at letting me sit down away from the queue as I have mobility issues and someone came and got me when the queue was ready for the lift , we proceeded to the lift and our host explained what would happen next , I think the whole process was great it can be quite a daunting place with all the crowds but having a host it takes all thst stress away and makes it seem much easier would definitely recommend

Simple online booking, although very negative reviews for headout can be read on the net. I risked it anyway, due to positive experience and YES!!!!!!!, the booked guided tours Eiffel Tower to the top and boat tour on the Seine were a mega experience. What I would particularly like to mention is that after booking I received super good instructions on how everything would proceed. Right down to the last detail and what can I say, that makes a city tour relaxed. Thanks to headout!!!👍 By the way, many thanks to Nihad, our tour guide that day, who managed to bridge the waiting time in a friendly, funny and informative way! THANK YOU!!!

I didn't realize that we would have to queue for over 2 hours despite having tickets. Just as long as everyone else. My girlfriend couldn't be there. As no ticket was bought for her on site for the ascent/elevator, I would at least have expected the ticket price for her (€27.50) to be refunded (after all, the organizer saved the money). The guide Freddy made the waiting time entertaining, was funny and friendly.

Very pleasant visit, not heavy and with the experience of climbing the tower on foot! Much better and authentic than doing it in the immediacy of the elevator. Cherles' commentary was detailed but not heavy or long. Ideal length so as not to bore and leave you wanting more, if you want to go deeper. It does not stop too much anywhere, which is good considering the overcrowding of the monument.

Everyone in the group had assumed that we had booked a guided tour with immediate admission at 12 noon. This was not the case. It is not clear from your ticket or booking information. We had to queue for more than 2.5 hours. Lg Anja

The meeting point indications were very precise. Martin, our guide, shared some Tower history with us in an amusing way. He was patient, funny, open for discussing other tourists subjects. It was a pleasant way of doing the tour and we reccomend it to everyone who wants to have a bit of understanding of tower's history.

Kato, our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and informative tour. Queue passed very quickly and had a great time exploring the tower and its views.
See Paris from two iconic perspectives—soar above the city at the Eiffel Tower and cruise past landmarks on the Seine.
- Everything you get at the Eiffel Tower: Take the elevator to the second floor at 377 feet and during the ride, let your guide tell you intriguing stories about the tower's past. On your way down, stop at the first-floor glass platform for a stunning view.
- Everything you get on the Seine River cruise: Glide along the Seine on a 1-hour cruise near the Eiffel Tower, taking in stunning views of Parisian landmarks. Listen to live commentary as you pass under historic bridges, including the Pont Neuf.
- Why choose this combo: Experience Paris from two unique angles with a single cost-effective booking. The Eiffel and Seine are just 5 minutes apart, ensuring a seamless experience with no extra travel time.
- Upgrades: Upgrade to summit access for truly breathtaking views from 905 feet above Paris. While the second floor offers incredible views, the summit provides an even more spectacular vantage point, plus access to the Champagne Bar at the top.

Our tour Guide, Sol, was a 10/10! Her english was clear and easy to understand. Her enthusiasm was great! She was patient, informed, with an engaging delivery of the information. She was eager to answer any questions, made sure our group of 7 was kept together, patiently acted as photographer for everyone in the group, and provided a great history of the tower. The boat ride was pleasant, but with much less info provided about the buildings along the way.

Simple online booking, although very negative reviews for headout can be read on the net. I risked it anyway, due to positive experience and YES!!!!!!!, the booked guided tours Eiffel Tower to the top and boat tour on the Seine were a mega experience. What I would particularly like to mention is that after booking I received super good instructions on how everything would proceed. Right down to the last detail and what can I say, that makes a city tour relaxed. Thanks to headout!!!👍 By the way, many thanks to Nihad, our tour guide that day, who managed to bridge the waiting time in a friendly, funny and informative way! THANK YOU!!!

The actual tour was good, the guide was nice. The only issue that affected our mood was with the Headout email confirmation and app system - as we couldn't retrieve our tickets and were stressed for a day and night that we might have been just scammed.. fortunately the personell of the Paris Tockets office helped me and issued the ticket on the spot on the time of our tour, but till then we were uncertain if we were just scammed..

Although i had the eiffel tour completed in time (daniela as guide was good), there was an issue with the river cruise. I spent more than 2 hours going back and forth, talking with the support via the chat and trying to get valid tickets, something that ruined the rest of my schedule during that day. Also, many times the chat was timing out due to no action happening, making me enter the login details from the beginning. The good part was that someone from support was on the chat, even after some minutes delay.

Checkin was a little confusing; almost missed getting the information on how to access the boat cruise. Once the tour started, our Guide was excellent and shared some great info about the Eiffel Tower. Liked that he shared it all and then we were free to explore on our own. Line-ups for elevator were as expected, so be prepared to stand for awhile.
Enjoy a gourmet dinner in an iconic setting— the heart of the Eiffel, offering an exclusive, romantic experience.
- Everything you get: Get reserved elevator entry to Madame Brasserie on the first floor. Enjoy a delectable 3-course Gustave menu, or 4-course Grande Dame menu thoughtfully prepared by world-class Chef Thierry Marx. After your meal, explore the 1st-floor observation deck with the glass floor at your leisure.
- Why choose this: You get to savour this bucket-list Parisian experience, blending French cuisine with nighttime views of both the Eiffel and the Seine, all the while getting reserved elevator access to this wildly popular evening experience.
- Upgrades: While there are seats in the middle of the restaurant that give you a cozy ambience, you can upgrade to a window-side table for a front-row view of Paris at night and the Seine River—perfect for a more intimate experience.

What a wonderful experience! It is on the first floor of the Eiffel tower, so you get the incredible experience of taking the elevator up. And then, when you get there, you have an amazing meal of white asparagus with caviar, a fruit and meringue dessert, and other phenomenal foods. Definitely book at least a month in advance if possible. Laissez les bon temps!

This was an extraordianry evening. The meal was fantastic, The service impeccable. My one caveat is that they need to figure out how to get guests to the restaurant in a timely fashion. We arrived when it was suggested and because of the number of people in line to use the lift, we did not arrive in the resatuarnat until very close to 7:00 p.m. I felt sorry for the staff who had to get us all served before the 8:00 p.m. group arrived.

Edmond, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and efficient. Kept our entire group engaged. It was a bummer that we were unable to reach the summit that day due to technical issues with the elevator. Overall a great experience

Easy to start at the Louvre and wind our way around Paris. Not alot of hopping on and off. We only did this once. Great bus ride though and definitely saw all the sites. The "optional" Siene river ride is an extra €16. Be aware.

Unforgettable Eiffel Tower Summit Tour – Thanks to Joanna! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finding our guide was easy, and from the very beginning, Joanna stood out with her professionalism. She gave us a clear safety briefing and set expectations early on—there was no skip-the-line access, and we might have to wait. And we did—almost two hours! But honestly, it didn’t feel that long at all because Joanna kept us thoroughly engaged. With her arsenal of fun facts, quirky trivia, and rich history of the Eiffel Tower, she turned what could’ve been a frustrating wait into an educational and entertaining part of the experience. Her energy, knowledge, and customer service were second to none—hands down the best I’ve encountered during my entire trip in Paris. Joanna didn’t just guide us to the top—she elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended!

We actually rode it once in the morning and again that evening. We enjoyed the second tour best because we were able to better pay attention to what was being said and was able to focus on the item being talked about. Got some really nice pictures too.

I am happy with this experience because it was one of my wife's birthday presents-she was really happy and that's what counts! Unfortunately, however, I must observe that the one and a half hour wait to go up the tower was really too long and inexplicable! Especially since having already bought tickets we should have had priority. Luckily we had a very nice and very good guide Mademoiselle LIZ who entertained us by telling us the history of Eiffel, many funny stories and many anecdotes that made the wait less heavy.

Efi our tour guide made the experience very enjoyable and was very knowledgeable in the information he provided. He took time and made the effort to inclue everybody in the tour. The weather took a turn for the worse but actually made it more enjoyable. We got to experience a storm whilst at the summit and it made the experience all the more memorable.

First it started with the purchase of headout, it was actually very pleasant and fast. Since I didn't know how the process works and didn't get a Qr code, I asked for it and got it within 5 minutes. I found it top 1A and would book again in the future. The tour was great it was evening and we had Liz as a guide who did a great job (the story about the Eiffel Tower as well as passing the controls and checkout. We didn't have to worry about anything. P.s. You don't need a Qr code, the name and booking number will be sent. Thank you very much

We were very excited and impressed! Only 30 minutes waiting time thanks to tickets with time! You shouldn't try to do everything, you can't do it in one day! We would start directly with the "Denon" grand piano! The Italian artists are much better! But also make sure you see the European/French wing! There is Napoleon's apartment and very splendid halls!

The Art is the reason to come to Paris from 7500 miles away, it is the investment made by this city over hundreds of years ago that pays off year after year as people continue continue to come to make a pilgrimage as we did on our 40th wedding anniversary. Sadly this is a once in a lifetime trip for us. We took as much as we could take in in the few days we could afford. It was terrific. A professor of mine came to do special research here after he retired. Linda and I got married a couple of years before he came to work at the Louvre. Victor Chan was a great professor at the University of Alberta with a personal collection of drawings worthy of the Louvre.

Great Experience – Even at 11 PM! We booked our Eiffel Tower visit for 11 PM because no earlier times were available — but in the end, we were glad! There were hardly any people, and we got through security and up the elevator very quickly. The night view over Paris was absolutely breathtaking. If we visit again, we definitely want to go all the way up to the third floor!

The Louvre has no equal. I had never been. We were on a pass through journey to Paris. The Reserved Access Tickets afforded us the opportunity that touched every note, getting us in efficiently on a very hot and crowded day.

Frequently asked questions about Eiffel Tower tickets
What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled entry time?
Eiffel Tower tickets are timed, which means each ticket comes with a specific entry time, which you must adhere to in order to gain access to the tower. It's important to arrive on time (or even 15 minutes earlier), as missing your scheduled entry slot may mean that you won’t be able to enter the tower.
Why do I need hosted entry to the Eiffel Tower?
With a guide to lead you, you'll navigate the often long and confusing queues, which can be especially daunting given the crowds at Trocadéro and the multiple entrances to the tower. Your guide not only helps you navigate these challenges but also ensures you get quick access to either the 2nd floor or the summit, depending on your ticket choice. This means you’ll spend less time finding your way around and more time admiring the breathtaking views of Paris. Plus, your guide will share fascinating stories and insights about the Eiffel Tower, enriching your experience as you explore this iconic landmark.
Does my ticket to the summit of the Eiffel include access to the 1st and 2nd floors?
Yes, a summit ticket includes access to both the 1st and 2nd floors, providing a complete experience of the Eiffel Tower.
If I bought a ticket to the second floor, but want to visit the top of the Eiffel Tower as well, is it included in my option?
No, 2nd-floor tickets don’t include summit access. However, you can upgrade your ticket for a full experience that includes the summit.
Should I take the stairs or the elevator to the top?
If you're looking for a challenge and a more budget-friendly option, climbing the 674 steps to the 2nd floor offers a unique perspective and a sense of accomplishment. For a more relaxed experience, especially if it's your first visit, the elevator to the summit is ideal, offering unmatched panoramic views of Paris.
Is the summit worth the extra cost?
Absolutely. While the summit access requires an upgrade, it offers unparalleled views of Paris and a closer look at Gustave Eiffel’s private office. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those wanting to see the city from its highest point.
Can I book exclusive tickets to visit the Champagne Bar at the summit?
No, there are no dedicated tickets for the Champagne Bar. However, access to the bar is included with your summit ticket, where you can purchase a drink while enjoying the view.
I'm visiting with my family, and we prefer a more relaxed experience. Which ticket should I choose?
For families, a ticket with elevator access to the 2nd floor is ideal. It offers stunning views without the physical exertion of climbing stairs. Adding a Seine River cruise can provide a relaxing end to your visit.
What should I consider if I'm afraid of heights?
If you’re concerned about heights, you might want to avoid the summit or dining experiences, which involve elevator rides and high vantage points. Stick to the 1st or 2nd floors for a less intimidating experience.
How long does it take to visit the tower?
Plan on spending around 1.5 to 2.5 hours for your visit. Reaching the second level typically takes about 1.5 hours, while visiting the summit can take up to 2.5 hours. Climbing the stairs will add some extra time.
Can I visit the Eiffel Tower at night?
Yes, the Eiffel Tower is open late into the evening, offering a magical experience with the city illuminated below. Night visits are popular for their stunning views of Paris lit up, and the Tower sparkles with thousands of lights every hour on the hour. It’s a great way to avoid daytime crowds and see the city in a different light.
