Discover the magic of the most loved monument in Paris by joining a local guide on our Eiffel Tower adventure. Known as La Dame de Fer or Iron Lady, the Eiffel Tower was originally constructed as a temporary exhibit for the 1899 World Fair, and is now arguably the world’s most famous landmark.
Alongside sharing the history of this feat of French engineering, your guide will tell captivating stories of a structure that requires round the clock maintenance to keep its sparkle! Our skip the line access means you’ll get straight to the elevators, taking you up to the second floor and leaving more time to marvel at the view. As you’ll discover when exploring both the first and second floors, there’s much more to La Tour Eiffel then meets the eye!
Does this tour include tickets to the summit? Due to variable ticket availability and access times, this tour does not include the summit. The second floor of the Eiffel Tower provides a magnificent view with ample space & comfort to take in your surroundings with your guide.
When is the quietest time to visit? We recommend joining us for an early evening tour. Lunchtimes can also be quieter than the rest of the day, so please contact our office team if you’d prefer a different start time to those shown on the calendar.
Can I bring stroller or backpack? Large backpacks and luggage are not permitted at the Eiffel Tower and will need to be left at your hotel. Strollers are allowed but please warn the office team in advance, we will need to pass on the information to your guide.
Is there a special access if I am in a wheelchair? The elevators can fit wheelchairs, and both floors are accessible (first and second). Please only warn the office team in advance, we will need to pass on the information to your guide. Disabled toilets are also available on both floors.
Are restrooms available in the Eiffel Tower? Restrooms are available but can be busy sometimes. If you travel with children, please let the guide know well in advance so they can show you the closest restroom.

The itinerary
Your Eiffel Tower exploration begins right at its feet. Your guide will enlighten you on the history of this cast iron marvel, created by the company of French architect Gustave Eiffel for the 1899 World Fair and to celebrate the centennial of the French Revolution. As you approach the Champ de Mars, your guide will have plenty of tales in store about the former world’s tallest building, before you bypass the queues to take you to the second floor in the hydraulic lifts, updated versions of the original lifts created by Eiffel and his team.
Once on the second floor, it’s time to take in the spectacular view of the City of Light – from the Sacré-Coeur nestled on the Butte Montmartre to the bold and bright Centre Pompidou, down to the golden dome of Les Invalides and the Panthéon presiding proudly above the Latin Quarter. But your tour doesn’t end here, there’s also the first floor to explore. And for the history buffs, a chance to discover how the Eiffel Tower played its part in the Allied victory in WWI. Whatever experiences Paris has in store for you, the Eiffel Tower Tour guarantees to be the most memorable of all.
You’ll finish the experience by a stroll on the steps of Trocadéro, one of the best vantage points in Paris to take in the majesty of the ultimate symbol of France!
Knowing Paris inside-out comes with years of exploring, but above all a passion for discovering all the magic that a city has to offer. Our city guides are selected for their insatiable love for Paris, and their desire to share it with our visitors. Leaving no stone unturned, our guides are always ready to go the extra mile to ensure that those who explore with them get to discover the Paris that truly makes them tick

Heidi gave us an informative and enjoyable trip to the Eiffel Tower!
We got a lot more out of the excursion than had we done it ourselves. Heidi was great!

Our guide, Cristiana, was amazing! We are an 8 person family group, and one is in a wheelchair. She worked hard to make all necessary adjustments so that everyone got the full Eiffel Tower experience. In a number of instances, she went above and beyond what anyone would expect. She cheerfully stayed with our grandson in the wheelchair while the rest of us went to the top floor, and gave us all much more time than we'd anticipated. Her knowledge and charm were so engaging! We would highly recommend Localers for the Eiffel Tower tour, and wish we had booked them for additional Paris tours instead if doing things on our own. They are clearly committed to ensuring a great experience for their guests
