Tickets for the Eiffel Tower summit are in extremely high demand, so don't hesitate to make your dream of seeing Paris from the top of the tower come true. After meeting your guide near the Eiffel Tower, at the bottom of the steps at the corner of Pont d'Iena and Quai Branly, you’ll first board a river boat for one of the most romantic ways to see Paris. With a glass of champagne in hand, you’ll cruise along the Seine River taking in many of the city’s most iconic sites.
Next up is an experience you'll remember forever! You’ll have reserved access to ascend to second floor and then the summit of the Eiffel Tower. Here you’ll enjoy the ultimate view of Paris!
If this Eiffel Tower summit tour is sold out on the day you're planning to visit, check out our morning summit tour where you'll climb the stairs to the second floor, then take the elevator to the summit! Or book our tickets that guarantee entry to the Eiffel Tower's first and second floors without the river cruise, if you're in a hurry.
Eiffel Tower Summit Tour Description
Your 3-hour evening tour includes:
1-hour river cruise of the Seine
Complimentary glass of champagne or other soft drink
Access to Eiffel Tower second floor and summit
A fun, English-speaking guide
Maximum group size of 15
Seine River Cruise
After meeting your group near to the Eiffel Tower, you'll follow your expert local guide onto the riverboat, where you can request your glass of champagne (or soft drink) and enjoy the romantic views of Paris. Seine River cruises are the perfect way to enjoy the ambiance that the City of Light is known for. Cruise by the highlights of the city, including the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower lit up in all its glory.
Eiffel Tower Summit
With your included tickets, your local Parisian guide will lead you past the crowds to the second floor. Along the way, you'll hear stories about the construction of the Eiffel Tower and its meaning to the French people, as well as some fascinating tales about the history of Paris.
Many people only book tickets to the second floor, which has great views too, but your tickets will take you to the most iconic spot in all of Paris. The summit elevator ride is an experience in itself, so don't forget to have your camera ready as you rise to the top of the famous tower.
From this height, you'll see every monument below as you take in the incredible panoramic view of the City of Light. You'll also be allowed to remain at the summit until it closes after your tour ends, and you'll even find a conveniently located champagne bar up there!
Please note that the line to descend the Eiffel summit can take up to half an hour during the busiest nights in the summer.

We had the pleasure of a tour by DJ for a river cruise of the Seine and a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower at sunset, offered by the Tour Guy on July 15, 2025. DJ was upbeat and incredibly well-informed as she helped guide our group through various stages of this tour. My wife and I had many questions and interests, and DJ managed to spend a lot of time at our corner of the boat engaged with us. Taking our big group through the happy crowds ascending the Eiffel Tower , DJ managed to make it entertaining and fun, and everyone reached the top! We really appreciated DJ and would recommend anything she leads. She would make it a good time. And if you have extra questions she’ll juggle everything else so you get what you hope for.

Paris is crowded in the summer. Paris is packed on Bastille Day and the day after. We have used the Tour Guy over the years in many countries including Paris and have never been disappointed. Generally we explore on our own but use Tour Guide for early access or no waiting in line access to major sites that draw huge crowds. The Eiffel Tower fits this definition! Essentially, we booked this tour to have a guide get us to the summit of the tower at night to eliminate us having to figure things out on our own; the boat ride was just a bonus. Navigating this area in Paris can be tricky especially if you don’t speak French and aren’t sure exactly what to do because if you don’t it will most certainly add time to your visit. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, she got us through the crowds and the lines to the summit and our group consisted of about 18 people. She gave us a quick and informative history lesson about the tower which was certainly of value given the crowds and I learn better by being told info rather than wandering and reading signs ESP in crowds of this size. Tickets to the tower, especially the summit; are not “easy” to secure on your own because they are only released a few weeks out from your desired date AND sell out almost instantly when they go live, so booking through the Tour Guy is really the best way to see a top, albeit crowded and chaotic site in the least time consuming way….vacations to Paris can be expensive don’t waste valuable time in lines. Book this if your goal is quick and easy access.
