Evening tickets for the Eiffel Tower are in high demand, so don't hesitate to book your perfect night in Paris! After meeting your friendly local guide near the riverbank at the bottom of the steps at Pont d'Iena and Quai Branly, your tour begins with a boat cruise along the Seine River. With a glass of champagne (or a soft drink) in hand, you’ll cruise along the Seine River for around an hour, taking in many of the city’s most iconic sites before reaching the Eiffel Tower.
Next, your guide will help you skip the line for an experience you'll remember forever! With your elevator tickets, you'll head to second floor of the Eiffel Tower as it glitters with light, and you’ll enjoy the ultimate view of Paris at its best—with the city lights glimmering in the night sky. After your tour has finished, you can choose to stay at the tower for as long as you like (or until it closes).
If this evening tour is sold out on the day you're planning to come to the Eiffel Tower, try booking our other popular day tour of the Eiffel Tower that also goes to the second floor and includes a Seine River cruise! Or you can book tickets that guarantee entry to the first and second floors of the Eiffel Tower during the day without the cruise.

Paris Boat Tour Along the Seine
You'll begin your Paris by night experience with a magical cruise along the famous Seine River, enjoying the romantic views of the city in the twinkling hours around sunset. Follow your expert local guide onto the riverboat for your 1-hour ride along the river, with a refreshing glass of champagne (or soft drink) included.
Seine River cruises are the perfect way to enjoy the ambiance that the City of Light is known for. Float by the highlights of the city, including the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower in all its glory.
Eiffel Tower at Night
Paris’s beautiful streets and buildings truly come to life under the stars, and the best time to ascend the Eiffel Tower is around sunset, when the lights of the city and the Iron Lady shine brightly against the night sky. Along with your local guide, you'll breeze past the Eiffel Tower’s long lines and get priority access to the elevator which will take you up to the second floor. 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.
After your guide has introduced you to the tower, they'll wave goodbye and leave you to enjoy the unforgettable nighttime panoramic view of Paris as the lights of the tower twinkle around you. It's a special experience that'll stay with you forever as you look out over the Champs de Mars and the iconic skyline of the City of Lights!
Please note that the exact time of sunset changes throughout the year, and we are subject to available ticket times from the Eiffel Tower. Your tour might begin before sunset depending on the time of year.

We're really disappointed about your company service today. Our cruise started at 5:45, finished at 7:00, but we have to wait until 8:30 to be able to get on the Eiffle Tower. Thus, what you mentioned about skipping the line, that's a misstatements. We had to line up for around 30 minutes for the tour guide to purchase the ticket. The time management is extremely poor, and there was a lot of miscommunication. We certainly not recommending this tour to our friends.
Great time!
Janeene Holly
Our guide was lovely and patient with three old women, and I am not kidding! She got our drink on the cruise— made sure we got good seats, showed us the best places to photograph at night from the tower— she was just the best— even helped us get a taxi to get back to our hotel! Could not have asked for better service! Highly recommend this Tour group! We are from the USA and don’t speak French— her English was perfect! Extra star!!

Excellent! Our guide Henry was fabulous and very knowledgeable. We were lucky to have just one other couple on the tour so we were able to really ask lots of questions.
