We met up with our tour guide and the other people in our tour group at a souvenir shop about half a mile from the Eiffel Tower. This gave us a chance to get a few souvenirs at a smaller price than the shops inside the Eiffel Tower. As we walked, our tour guide told us about the origin and history of the Eiffel Tower, which was really very interesting. She guided us through security and to the elevators. Once we were on the second floor, we only stayed with the group for a short time before going out to explore on our own. The view is amazing! A trip to Paris would not be complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. We purchased the option to go up to the summit, and I feel that it was worth the extra cost. My daughter and I both share this as the highlight of our vacation. Purchasing tickets for the Eiffel Tower and having an English speaking tour guide was the right option for us; it took away any stress about not knowing where to go and what to expect from security.

The location of our tours office was ideally located for the Eiffel Tower. Our guide was friendly and informative. We were in two minds about going to the summit but were so pleased we did as the view was fantastic. The viewing spaces were good and people moved around well. Just allow a wee bit of a wait to come down. It was great that at the end of the tour we still had time to explore the different floor and the grounds at the bottom of the tower. It truly is a remarkable piece of architecture.

Our guide, Mohammed was interactive and fun. My kids (11, 13 and 17) enjoyed the tour as much as I did. I thought we would skip the line in this tour, but we didn’t, that didn’t matter though, as the guide used the time well… And of course’s the whole tower experience was amazing!

About the Eiffel Tower

Locally nicknamed “La Dame de Fer” (French for “Iron Lady”), the Eiffel Tower was constructed from 1887 to 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris and was initially criticised by some of France’s leading artists and intellectuals for its design. Still, it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the world’s most recognisable and iconic structures. Not only a symbol of France, but the Eiffel Tower in Paris also contains over 100 antennas to broadcast radio and television worldwide.

Every day after sunset, the Eiffel Tower is illuminated by 335 projectors for a spectacular light show. The famous designer Gustave Eiffel included a small apartment for himself at the top of the tower. The Eiffel Tower is an architectural marvel and a symbol of France’s rich history and cultural significance. It remains one of the most visited and recognised landmarks in the world, which is why millions buy tickets to tour the Eiffel tower annually.

From the Eiffel Tower, you will marvel at the ancient façade of the Louvre, the financial district of La Défense, the colourful Centre Pompidou, and the vast white expanse of Sacré-Coeur Basilica.

Peak periods (June-August, holidays, and weekends) see the longest delays, particularly for summit access. The summit level may close during high winds for safety reasons. When this happens, you’ll still have access to the 1st and 2nd floors, and you may be eligible for a partial refund of the price difference.

Bring your e-ticket (printed or on phone), a valid ID, comfortable shoes, and layers for wind. Bags larger than 40cm x 20cm x 55cm aren’t allowed, and there’s no storage facility available.
