Itinerary
Meet your guide at the departure point, a 5-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, to begin your tour by listening to commentary about the 'Iron Lady,' Paris' most recognizable attraction. 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
It is a lifetime...
It is a lifetime experience! Katilina was our guide and was very good at getting us through everything!
You meet the guide in a...
You meet the guide in a friendly and comfortable office, and walk about five minutes over to the entry to the Eiffel Tower. The guides are assigned based on language, although ours was able to communicate just as fluently with a family that came who spoke a different language. She was friendly and clear and very efficient in getting us through all of the steps getting into the elevator to the Eiffel Tower second level. Then we were free to roam as we chose. A very nice afternoon and great experience! We didn’t get a chance to take the boat tour as well because of our limited time in Paris, but even with out that this was certainly worth the price.
Overpriced way to see the Eiffel Tower.
Honestly I panicked when I had trouble booking a summit access of the Eiffel Tower directly with the Eiffel Tower website. So I booked this combo thru Trip Advisor. Yes, it did get us the tickets we needed to get to the top, but it was really overpriced. I should have done a bit more investigating on how to get regular-priced tickets and probs could have even purchased them there that day. The meeting place was in a nearby storefront travel agency and was easy and organized. The tour leader was just OK, nice but kind of bored. And of course the Eiffel Tower is grand and spectacular and you MUST go to the top. We never even used the Seine cruise tickets since we got them free with another tour we went on.
Great tour!
Meet up spot east to find. Mo, our guide was wonderful. She shared a lot of interesting information, was friendly, helpful and great sense of humor.
A delight
We have visited the Eiffel Tower before but this was by far the best experience. Miguel walked us to the tower from the tour office. He gave us the history. He took pictures for us. Walked us to the first elevator. Told us where to take another elevator to get to the third level. Our visit went very smoothly because of his very specific directions.
