Departure Point: Meeting Point near the Eiffel Tower Address: 41, Avenue de la Bourdonnais 75007 PARIS Directions: Tour departs from our Agency located at: 41, Avenue de la Bourdonnais 75007 PARIS Closest Metro Station: Ecole Militaire Metro Line: 8

This activity will end right where it started.
Your tour starts at a location about a 5-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, where you'll meet your guide for an introduction to this Parisian icon. Then avoid the entrance queue with your skip-the-line ticket to go up to the viewing platform on the 2nd level.

Look out at Paris from your bird's-eye vantage point, and hear facts and anecdotes about the Eiffel Tower's history, from its time as a despised monstrosity to the legend it is today. Then you have free time to continue up to the 3rd level to admire the city from the Summit. You can visit the former office of Gustave Eiffel, or perhaps enjoy a drink at the bar (own expense). On your way down, you might want to stop by the 1st-floor immersion gallery, gift shop, or vertigo-inducing glass floor.

When you're back on land, you can use your provided ticket for a 1-hour Seine River cruise, valid for six months from your Eiffel Tower visit. Hop aboard the riverboat, and glide through the heart of Paris for views of its elegant bridges and waterfront landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral.

    A scam, avoid
    Benjamin_M
    , Jun 2022
    A scam - it does not Skip The Line - we waited for over one hour, and were told another hour more before we’d get to even the first elevator. Our guide told us the company will refund us, but they have ignored us.

    I am not sure we actually got to skip any lines - seemed like we were in line along w everyone else. Also no commentary on this tour in terms of history, background, etc. Could probably have the exact same experience for much less money if you purchase tickets in advance from the Eiffel Tower site directly as Summit access sells out. The boat cruise was actually quite nice.

    Bonjour Disap... We are really sorry to read that you were unable to use the service you had reserved with us through VIATOR, due to COVID 19 Health Crisis.

If your reservation was done for a tour that should have taken place between March 9th and March 13th, note that we had softened our cancellation policy and that most clients who had to cancel due to the Sanitary Crisis got a refund. However we have not accepted on refunding clients who failed to show up for their tour and didn't notify us. In order for us to better understand the situation, we invite you to e-mail us at booking@paris-trip.com so that we can look closely into your booking. In the meantime please stay safe!

    The tour was as informative as we wanted it to be. The guide adjusted according to the level of those attending, making this an enjoyable experience for our 9 and 10 year old boys. I would definitely recommend going to the summit and enjoying the amazing view of Paris!

    Beware of skip the line!
    Alyson_J
    , Jul 2019
    My husband and I purchased these tickets in advance. The tour guide was awesome and knowledgeable, but I have a hard time understanding what we paid so much for. We didn’t “skip a line” we simply went in through a group entrance. We would’ve saved a ton of money just buying priority tickets online from the Eiffel tour website. NOT worth the extra money. I contacted viator after, and they did not want to issue any refund, correct their errors with how they advertise. So please beware!

    It was an amazing experience! Our tour guide was the friendliest person and made the experience that much more personal. Seeing the Eiffel Tower all lit up at night and the wonderful sparkling views over Paris! Unforgettable. Please note that Skip The Line access is just to the 1st and 2nd floors of the Eiffel Tower only, regular access to the 3rd floor so it will be a line but it is really worth it. The summit has the most amazing views.

    We really only did this tour as we left it too late to buy summit tickets on our own back. And we really wanted to go to the summit.I would recommmed going online and buying summit tickets on the Eiffel Tower website - but make sure you do it at least 2-3 months prior to your visit!!

    The tour actually leaves from the tour office, not the Eiffel Tower. The tour office's address is in small print on the voucher. It would help if they had a map on how to get to the address on the voucher. The tour guide only goes to the first floor with you then you are on your own for the rest. You have to have a voucher from the tour office to go on the cruise as well. Cruise consists of half an hours cruise then it turns around again and goes back. The Summit was a great experience.

    One of the main reasons we chose to go this route was so we could have a smooth, unhurried tour. However, Viator did not have all the paperwork in order for all in this tour group though ours was in order. This caused a late start, long lines, and much more of a wait than they led us to believe.

    Kathi B
    , Jun 2017
    This was definitely an easier way to see the Eiffel Tower.The downside was that the tour guide was very hard to hear unless you were right next to her so it was difficult for most of us to hear what she was saying and it was very brief. Basically long enough for us to get inside and up one floor and then she left us. So, it was worth it to skip the line but the tour was not the quality I expected. The tour company was very gracious to refund my husband's ticket even though their policy states non-refundable. They let me salvage at least that part of my trip after my husband had to cancel all plans at the last minute and I had to visit to Paris alone. For this, I truly appreciate their understanding and they were incredible at helping me out! The Seine River Cruise was excellent.

    Loved the Eiffel Tower tour. The tour company was easy to find and the employees were very nice. Although it's called a "skip the line pass", we still had to wait in a queue, but I am happy we purchase our tickets ahead of time. The only disappointment was the champagne bar at the top was not open.

    , May 2017
    Skipping the long lines at the entry is quite worthwhile. Our guide had good knowledge of the history and details about the Tower, but at several times seemed to not quite know what to say next. We were fortunate to have had a spectacular day so the sights made up for it all. Also, the river cruise is great fun. Since you can go anytime, we did the Tower in the morning and the cruise in the evening. Stunning light on all the attractions in the Spring around 8:00pm and seeing all the locals relaxing on the river bank made it all the more memorable. Would recommend arriving a little early in case it's important that you sit on the upper level.

    This could have been a much better experience. Our guide preferred to talk about herself more than the Eiffel Tower. The tour originally had the cruise first, than the tower but on arrival they swapped the order. At first we thought they were making a good call, but the tower was massively packed! When the cruise was over the lines were dramatically shorter on the tower, so keeping the original order would have given us all a much better experience at no cost to the tour company

    Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear this tour did not live up to your expectations. Please note, as the tour guide typically provides the tickets to the cruise during the Eiffel Tower tour, it is customary to attend the cruise after the tower visit. However, you are able to use the tickets at any time you wish. We hope this information is helpful for future visits and that you still enjoyed your remaining time in Paris!
