Your tour begins at Avenue Elisée Reclus

Security checkpoint and 2nd floor elevator
After a quick security check, you'll ride the elevator 377 feet up to the 2nd-floor observation deck. The city unfolds below, spot the Arc de Triomphe, the green ribbon of the Champs-Élysées, and Notre Dame's famous towers. -

Customer Reviews
Carmelle was an amazing tour guide with incredible knowledge about the Eiffel Tower. Although you still have to wait in line with your group to get through security and to the elevator, she was super diligent in making sure we got ahead as quickly as possible by communicating with the box office and security staff. I highly recommend Carmelle and this tour!
The guided tour was conducted by Archie. She was very friendly and knowledgeable on everything related not only to the Eiffel Tower but also other major monuments in Paris. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend the Tour Guy!
