What you'll see and do
Eiffel Tower
Meet your local guide next to the Eiffel Tower for a brief and fascinating introduction that will give you the keys to enjoy Paris' most famous tower to the fullest. Your guide will then take you straight to the second level, bypassing the waiting lines on the ground. On the second level, you will enjoy anecdotes about the Eiffel Tower and its unique history. You will also learn more about the City of Light, and see many of its highlights from above, including Notre Dame, the Louvre Museum, the Arc de Triomphe, and Les Invalides. At the end of your guided tour, you will be free to continue exploring the Eiffel Tower on your own and ascend to the summit through a second elevator where even more breathtaking views await. Sip a glass of bubbly from the Champagne bar (own expense) while you admire Paris glittering below. On your way down, be sure to stop at the first level and walk on new glass floor some 200 dizzying feet above the ground.

A great experience
This was a very nice way to experience the Eiffel Tower with a guide that could share her knowledge of the Towers history and surrounding area. I recommend this for a first time visit to the Tower.

Rip off!
Booked via Tripadvisor as no last minute tickets available on official Eiffel Tower website. Expected to pay additional amount for the "tour" but disappointed in that this consisted of just meeting the guide outside a shop, him walking us over to the tour group entrance and on the the elevator with a few pauses along the way when he gave background information. He left us to fend for ourselves once we got to Level 2. Over £160 more than official ticket prices!

Well worth it.
Guide - Tina was excellent and the whole experience was fantastic. The only criticism I would have is that it felt rather strange to be asked to meet at a random address outside a gift shop. I did at one point begin to think that it was all a scam, that nobody would show up, but they did!!! Also, please make it clear that this tour includes access to the top - rather than saying ‘optional summit access’ which could leave some thinking that there is more to pay for the ‘optional’ bit.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Eiffel Tower Access Tour to 2nd Floor with Summit Option by Lift: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Eiffel Tower Access Tour to 2nd Floor with Summit Option by Lift cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 Eiffel Tower Access Tour to 2nd Floor with Summit Option by Lift 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 Eiffel Tower Access Tour to 2nd Floor with Summit Option by Lift worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 2,876 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Eiffel Tower Access Tour to 2nd Floor with Summit Option by Lift?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Eiffel Tower Access Tour to 2nd Floor with Summit Option by Lift suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Eiffel Tower Access Tour to 2nd Floor with Summit Option by Lift?
+
Around 1,007 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 Eiffel Tower Access Tour to 2nd Floor with Summit Option by Lift 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.
