Overview
See a different side of Paris’s ‘Iron Lady’ on a guided climbing tour of the Eiffel Tower. Take the slow and scenic route and climb the stairs! Learn all about the construction, controversies, and mystique surrounding the iconic tower from a guide as you ascend to the first and second levels, admiring Gustave Eiffel’s intricate design from angles and viewpoints that most visitors miss. It’s an adventurous way to go behind the scenes—and under the beams—of one of the world’s most popular attractions.
- Climbing tour of the Eiffel Tower in Paris
- Take the stairs to the first and second levels of the famous monument
- Learn about the history and engineering of the tower from a guide while climbing

- Upgrade to include an elevator ride to the summit
Why Travelers Choose This Tour

My friends and I were really excited to see the Eiffel Tower and see the amazing views from the tower itself. We were promised a tour when we arrived on the first level, we waited for our tour guide who said they would meet us on the first level. They never arrived. We waited for about 45 min with other people from the group and decided to just continue up the tower ourselves without the tour and history promised to us. Needless to say, it’s a good idea in theory as we saw other tour groups and leaders around, but not ours. I’d recommend saving some money and just buying the ticket at the Eiffel Tower and not through a tour website.

5/25/2022 - 2:00 pm. Waisted over one hour waiting for the tour guide, CITY WONDERS, they never showed up and didn't bother to call, text or email me. Total waste of time, kind of ruined my day. I'm still waiting for a refund. You would have thought they would have automatically given me a refund!
Great Trip!

I have visited Paris three times now, but I hadn’t been to the top of the Eiffel Tower since I visited in high school almost 40 years ago. I planned this trip to happen on my 55th birthday, and I was so excited by the climb to the top. Our tour guides were amazing—they were knowledgeable, funny, smart, and friendly.

I need the refund since we were not able to go up to the summit due to some reasons said by the tour guide, was only up to the 2nd level. But I really thought that having a tour guide and have the service from you guys would speed up the waiting time like skipping the queue as written on your website but that didn’t happen. I regret that we could have just done it by ourselves and knew right away that summit isn’t available to avoid this getting the refund thing.
There was even a confusion that the tour guide confirmed that my name was on the list and we’ll just have to wait for the others and then later there’s another tour guide arrived at the place and said my name isn’t there and when I was like whatttt????? Then she said okay I’ll just take you in and you’ll be in my group because your name is listed to the other tour guide which is a trainee.
I mean it’s so disgusting when you put a confusion to the tourist who paid you so ahead of time.
So what we got from this was hearing all the trivia or history about the tower when the tour guide was talking the whole time while falling in line.

We made a reservation for the Eiffel tower including the summit. As you van see, we had to wait in line (like the other tourists), for the guide to buy tickets. (They do not buy tickets in advance, as they promise, so that you can skip the line). Tickets for the summit ran out 5 minutes before our guide could buy them….. We had a very bad experience. Made our complaint, but there is no solution yet.
Good advice: buy the tickets yourselves!! It is also a whole lot cheaper
Nice guide with a broad...

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
