You’ll climb 674 of the 1,665 steps in total to reach the second floor, whilst a professional guide tells you about the momentous events that have made this structure the universal icon of the French capital. Just as the Colosseum is to Rome, the Eiffel Tower is the soul of Paris!

The‘Balcony of Paris’, as it is also known, was created to be one of the main attractions of the historic 1889 World’s Fair, the same year the tower was built. Its impact was immediate! It welcomed around 12,000 visitors a day during the 22 days the event lasted.

Throughout the tour, which lasts around 2 hours, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the ‘City of Light’. From the Louvre Pyramid to Notre Dame Cathedral and the Musée d’Orsay, every view will reaffirm the unrivalled beauty of Paris.

Take your Parisian experience to new heights with this exclusive tour of the Eiffel Tower!

    I really enjoyed the visit, climbing the stairs is a challenge but it is more worth it than taking the elevator up.

    The snacks were very good, I do not recommend to bring drinks during the climb because if you stumble you can cause a problem, it is better to take it before continuing the climb.
