Go up to the viewing platform on the 2nd floor. If you booked the summit option, you can go to the top, otherwise on your way down you can eithertake the lift or the stairs to reach the first level and enjoy the floor of glass. As the majestic geometry of Paris unfolds at your feet, you will hear interesting tales and anecdotes that recount the tower's history, from a hated monstrosity to one of the most-visited and iconic monuments in the world.
You will also be given a ticket to embark on a 1-hour cruise along the Seine River. It is valid for any departure within six months of your visit to the Eiffel Tower. During your cruise on the Seine, you have the chance to admire the famous monuments of Paris as you follow the flow of the river through the city. Relax and enjoy a pleasant hour on board.

Traveler reviews
Reserve several weeks in...
Reserve several weeks in advance. The guide was nice, knowledge and helpful. The staff at the office/meeting place was also polite and helpful.
Tour Eiffel with summit Access
Easy booking experience, clear directions to meeting point with option to save on Google Maps. Guide was waiting to register us outside the office as it was out of office opening hours. Guide was very friendly & multi linguistic, she was also very Informative taking us directly to the second floor of tour Eiffel. Guide had lots of knowledge of the history & answered any questions raised, she was very good Indeed. Guide left us at second floor so we could tour the summit at our own pace & for as long as we liked, giving all clear information about the summit and directions. Very enjoyable, would highly recommend an evening tour for this reason.
Great tour of The Eiffel Tower
This is great way to experience The Eiffel Tower. Our guide presented the history and a few facts that are not common knowledge. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the Tower over the years. Although we had the “Skip the Line” tickets, we still had to stand in line waiting on elevators but we were never standing in line for more than 10 minutes. The views from the top were amazing and luckily we had a clear day and could see all of Paris. We had the ticket package that included a 1 hour cruise on The Seine River. The boat cruise was a nice way to relax after seeing the Tower but really not worth it. It was simply a cruise down the River and back. We wouldn’t recommend the cruise option if you’re looking to take this tour. Overall, touring The Eiffel Tower was well worth it for us and if you’re visiting Paris, we would recommend you take this tour.
Expected More
Minimal contributions from the Guide. Short story telling and the lead to the Tower for self-guided tour
