Paris' Premier Eiffel Tower Experience

No visit to Paris is complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. Join us on this journey to the 2nd floor of the Iron Lady. You’ll zip up in a glass elevator to the 2nd floor for the best view of Paris. 

 

Insiders know that the 2nd floor is even better than the crowded Summit because you are high enough to see the city but not so high that you can’t recognize the famous sites below, and you have more elbow room on the 2nd floor to stop and enjoy the views. Summit availability changes throughout the day but if you want to go to the summit, and the Summit is open when you reach the ticket office,  your guide concierge will facilitate that upgrade for you and at no extra cost to you. 

 

If you have a summit ticket you’ll ascend to the second floor with your group and then continue on for your self guided visit up in the glass elevator to the top where you’ll spy Gustav Eiffel’s private office and bedroom along with other historic documents and maps. You might want to treat yourself to a celebratory glass of champagne. If you don’t have a summit ticket there is  more to share with the group on the second and first floors.

 

The  second floor is where you begin a tour of Paris from the sky as your guide points out all the important sites in Paris. Next it’s down to the first floor for special exhibits and a glass floor that leaves you breathless.

 

By the end of your visit you will feel connected not only to your fellow travelers and guide concierge but to the Eiffel Tower itself and you will understand why we say “We’re on this journey together”. Don’t forget to ask your guide for insider tips for the rest of your stay in the City of Light.
