About this tour
See Paris from a fresh perspective on a guided Eiffel Tower stairs climb. Rather than joining the elevator queue, follow your guide up approximately 674 steps to the second floor, with stories about the monument’s history, architecture, and engineering along the way.
Your ticket provides access to the first- and second-floor observation decks, where sweeping views reveal the city’s landmarks. Pause to take in the panorama and learn to identify notable sights with your guide. The climb takes about two hours and reaches the second floor, around 115 meters above the ground. Summit entry is included only when you select the summit option.
Meet your guide outside the tower at the intersection of Avenue Octave-Gréard and Allée Thomy-Thierry, and look for the Wandria sign. This is a stairs tour, not a skip-the-line ticket; taking the stairs means you avoid the elevator queue, though other queues may apply. Choose this Paris Eiffel Tower guided stairs climb for a more active way to experience the landmark and its views.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 35% in Paris means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Paris by this score.
