Explore the Eiffel Tower with a private guide, summit access, and an optional one-hour champagne cruise on the Seine.

About this tour

See Paris from above on a private guided visit to the Eiffel Tower, with reserved timed-entry tickets and a guide for your party. Meet your guide near the Pullman Hotel and Avenue de Suffren, then enter the Tower together for an elevator ride to the second floor. Along the way, hear about the landmark’s vision, controversies, and enduring place in the city. Take in the Paris skyline from the viewing levels, then continue to the summit when it is open. The private format gives your group a more personal way to explore, while the guide helps make the visit straightforward from meeting point to entry. Summit access can be suspended in severe weather, strong winds, or for security reasons; a partial refund is offered if the summit closes. Allow extra time for security, elevator, and entry queues, which can take from 30 minutes to 1–2 hours. For an added Parisian finish, choose the optional one-hour champagne cruise on the Seine, redeemable at your convenience. Book this Paris Eiffel Tower Private Guided Experience for a memorable perspective on the city, from its famous iron landmark to the river below.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.72 from 108 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 6.6.
