Sep 4, 2025The guide Chinelo was amazing and the view was lovely, however wondering we booking in advance, would prefer the tickets were purchased before we enter the grounds to avoid the 3 hour wait to buy them there through the guide

What you'll do
The Eiffel Tower, Paris's most recognizable monument and a symbol of France, is an unmissable stop on a trip to the French capital. Get to know this world-famous structure from the inside out with an expert-led tour up 700 steps to its second platform.
Climbing the steps up the tower is how its creator, Gustave Eiffel, intended for his great monument to be appreciated.
On this tour, your local guide will take you inside the tower and share stories about its engineering, design, and historic notoriety. What's more, you'll be rewarded with magnificent views across the whole of Paris, and those daring enough can step out on the first level's transparent floor, where you can look down upon the forecourt below.
This is the first-ever guide-led climb up the stairs in the tower's history, so you won't want to miss it!

Experience the Eiffel Tower from within on a tour led by an expert guide up 674 stairs to the 2nd floor.
Access to the 1st and 2nd floors via the stairs.

The guided tour ends on the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower – the summit is not included.
This is a climb up the stairs without an elevator.
