What you'll see and do
Arc de Triomphe
A unique viewpoint. From the top of the panoramic terrace, your eyes sweep over the whole of Paris. The revisited Antiquity. Architect Jean-François Chalgrin was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus in a single arch, but went beyond it by exceptional dimensions (about 50 m high, 45 m long and 22 m wide) and abandoning columns. A key place of major national events. Wanted by Napoleon in 1806, the Arc de Triomphe was inaugurated in 1836 by French king, Louis-Philippe, who dedicated it to the armies of the Revolution and the Empire. The Unknown Soldier was buried at the base of the arch in 1921. The flame of remembrance is rekindled every day at 18:30.

a must-see while in paris!
the iconic arc de triomphe is a must-see while in paris. looking around and up at it is truly humbling. so much history and beauty. it’s utterly phenomenal! the climb up was a bit rough and i was not looking forward to it but thankfully it went relatively fast. once we got to the second level, we were able to rest for a bit before continuing up to the top which was a short climb up. the view atop is MAGNIFICENT! all of paris laid out right before our eyes. it just took my breath away. we were able to walk around and look at the city from all sides of the tower. the best part is since it is a self-guided tour, you can stay as long as you like. it wasn’t terribly crowded the day i visited and was able to take some amazing photographs. overall, an amazing experience and i’m so glad we went! if you have the opportunity, you should go. you will not regret it!

The lift has been out of...
The lift has been out of service, so you need to be fit enough to climb almost 300 stairs. The view was worth it, but in the summer heat, it could be a problem for some.

Arrive early to avoid queues
Overall, a great experience. Fantastic panoramic views of the city, exactly as described. We arrived early and were able to use our reserved entry tickets nearly 2hours before the allotted time. I’m glad we did too because when leaving at our original entry time (12 midday) the queue to get in was horrendously long. Booking with Tripadvisor worked out a little more expensive as we booked for 2 adults & 2 children totalling ~ £70, had we paid on the gate the cost would’ve been €22 for each adult with free entry for the children. If booking again, I’d go direct to the Arc de Triomphe website for peace of mind to have the reserved entry or would turn up before midday when it gets busy and pay on the gate.

Just pick one
The Arc de Triomphe is a must see…..this was not a guided tour, which was OK. we could not find a tour package for just the Arc..,,so we added a Seine tour, before realizing the meeting points were over a mile apart. We were exhausted after climbing to the top of the Arc, so we skipped the second part of the tour.

Tough day at the Arc
Very disappointed to find the lift out of order. 300 odd steps for an older person not very good idea. Expensive exercise.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets - Optional Private Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets - Optional Private Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets - Optional Private Guide take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets - Optional Private Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 426 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets - Optional Private Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets - Optional Private Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets - Optional Private Guide?
+
Around 149 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets - Optional Private Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
