Your expert, English-speaking guide will lead you from Pont d'Iéna towards the Iron Lady, all the while filling you in with fascinating stories about how the Parisians hated the tower before it became a symbol of the city. You’ll also discover the background story of the man who made his career out of going against what others thought – Gustave Eiffel. 

Once you reach the Eiffel Tower, you will gain access to the elevator, bringing you directly to the observation deck on the 2nd floor. At this height, you’ll easily be able to see the monuments of Paris as far as the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs Elysees and the rooftop of the other beautiful survivor, Notre Dame.

Visit the Summit

There is more! If you are eager to go higher, you can upgrade your tour upon booking and ascend another level. The 3rd level is as high as you can go on the Eiffel Tower, and from here, the panoramic views over Paris are unforgettable.

Once you board the boat, you can enjoy a complimentary glass of French champagne so you can sit back and relax as you glide along the enchanting Seine for an alternative view of the iconic monuments of Paris. You’ll see the Louvre, Notre Dame and the Conciergerie as you float by, accompanied by an entertaining and informative live commentary from a knowledgeable local guide.

Premium Access Eiffel Tower Summit Tour with Seine River Cruise

Fulfill your bucket-list dream of viewing the city of lights from the best spot in the city.

Looking for a truly unforgettable way to spend a day in Paris? Want to experience the jaw-dropping view from the summit of the Eiffel Tower? How about cruising along the famous Seine River with a glass of champagne? This special small group tour lets you do all three! With an entertaining local guide, you'll tick off two of Paris' true bucket-list activities and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Skip the Line

• Capture the perfect vacation moment
• Elevator access to second floor and summit
• Seine River cruise
• See Paris' iconic monuments
• Sip champagne on the water
• Ascend the Eiffel Tower
• Learn the history of the Tower
• Incredible views of Paris
• A true bucket-list experience

Skip-the-line 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 skip the line 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

Skip-the-line 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 skip-the-line 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.

Seine cruise and Eiffel Tower guide

Great! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot. We’d recommend.

Fantastic Eiffel Tower Tour

Maria was a wonderful guide for our Eiffel Tower Summit. She was engaging and full of stories leaving us wanting to know more about Gustav Eiffel and his life. Despite a raging storm, she waited patiently for it to calm before letting us go to the summit. The only suggestion I'd make is I wish the boat trip had also been guided and/or on a smaller boat for a more intimate experience.

Engaging Ellen!

Ellen gave us a fun fact filled tour of the Eiffel Tower from top to bottom.
