Guided Eiffel Tower Tour with Elevator and Summit Access

Our guide Lovetts was deeply knowledgeable, articulate and organized.

Our visit to the Eiffel Tower was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that was our guide, Adebayo. Unfortunately, we arrived quite late after miscalculating the travel time from our hotel, and I know it caused an inconvenience for him and the group. However, when I explained that it was my 60th birthday, Adebayo showed incredible kindness. He told us to call when we arrived, took the time to connect with us, and graciously welcomed us onto the tour. What happened next was completely unexpected—he had the group wish me a happy birthday and even led them in singing. It was such a thoughtful and generous gesture, and something I will always remember. Beyond that, he was an excellent guide—bringing a perfect mix of humor and deep knowledge. I learned so much about the history of the Eiffel Tower while also taking in the beauty of this iconic landmark. It’s one thing to see the Eiffel Tower in photos and movies, but to stand there in person, experiencing it in real life, was truly a dream come true. Thank you, Adebayo, for going above and beyond and helping make this milestone birthday so special.

Our guide Loveth was very knowledgeable and fun, giving us tons of facts about the Eiffel Tower and preparing us for our adventure to the top. Thanks Loveth for a fun and educational experience. The Tour Guy has not let us down during our visit to Paris.

Finding the guide and getting to the second level were easy, although the elevator to the second level takes quite a long time for one round trip (it does hold over 100 people). Unfortunately, our warm and sunny afternoon weather took a turn once we got into the tower and it got very windy and cold which we were not prepared for (not the guide's fault). This made our tolerance for hearing the guide talk about the tower and the sites much lower and we decided to proceed on our own to finish more quickly. The lines for the elevators up to the summit and down to the base were long. The summit is a very small space. If I had to do it over again I would have probably settled for level 2 access and just bought regular tickets instead of getting a tour guide. The guide was friendly but I don't recall much she said that I didn't already know other than the tower had previously been painted different colors.

Thank you so much to Bayo, our amazing tour guide! He gave us great insight to the history of the Eiffel Tower and wonderful stories as well. Being able to see the city from the summit of the Eiffel Tower was truly one of the highlights of our Paris trip. Highly recommended!
