Eyeful Tower
Our guide was knowledgeable and provided some interesting information. He was considerate and allowed some other tour group members to join the group part way through the tour as they were late. But considering the cost of the elevators only with the cost of the tour, the tour is way overpriced. I'd read up on the Tower online and then do it yourself. The considerable up charge for the tour just isn't worth it.

Our tour guide was absolutely amazing, they waited for us because I missed the meet up location and when I got there she had everyone sing Happy Birthday To Me ! AMAZING

We met the guide close to...
We met the guide close to the Eiffel Tower. It was a small group about eight people in total. She gave us some history on the Eiffel Tower. Then we waited in line to go to the second floor. We were shoved into elevators like sardines. It was very crowded. On the second floor there were some amazing views. Our guide gave us some additional history about some areas we were able to see of Paris while on the second floor. That’s basically where the guided tour ended. Then we got on additional elevators to go to the summit. We took some pictures and then made our way down. Again, it was very crowded. I’m not sure if it was worth the additional money though I would definitely recommend going to the Eiffel Tower and making your way to the top. There are some amazing views.!

Eiffel Tower Guided Tour Access by Elevator 2nd Floor and Summit: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Eiffel Tower Guided Tour Access by Elevator 2nd Floor and Summit cost?
+
Prices start at $98 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 Guided Tour Access by Elevator 2nd Floor and Summit 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 Guided Tour Access by Elevator 2nd Floor and Summit worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 104 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 Guided Tour Access by Elevator 2nd Floor and Summit?
+
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 Eiffel Tower Guided Tour Access by Elevator 2nd Floor and Summit 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 Eiffel Tower Guided Tour Access by Elevator 2nd Floor and Summit?
+
Around 36 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 Guided Tour Access by Elevator 2nd Floor and Summit 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 Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. 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.
What is included in Eiffel Tower Guided Tour Access by Elevator 2nd Floor and Summit?
+
Included: Access to the Summit by lift (if option is selected) with pre booked ticket; Live Guided Tour; and Access to Second Level with pre booked ticket by lift. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Tips (Optional); and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
