Explore the Eiffel Tower with a small-group host, elevator access to two floors, and optional summit access for sweeping Paris views.

About this tour

See Paris from above on a small-group Eiffel Tower visit, with a host to make the experience easier to navigate. Before you head inside, hear an introduction to the tower’s history and ask your host questions. Your host helps with the entrance and elevator tickets, then you continue into the monument for your visit.

Ride the elevators to the first and second floors, where the city opens out around you. Choose the summit option for elevator access to the top. Summit access can be affected by weather, technical problems, or security decisions made by Eiffel Tower authorities; if it closes, visitors can go only as far as the second floor, with a partial refund available.

With fewer than 10 people, this Paris Eiffel Tower summit tour offers a more personal start to your visit. Meet outside the Franprix at 11 Avenue de la Bourdonnais, arrive early, and enjoy the views at your own pace. Book your Paris Eiffel Tower summit tour with the summit option if reaching the top is part of your plan.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.52 from 21 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 6.4.
