Why Book an Eiffel Tower Tour?

The Eiffel Tower is Paris’s most iconic landmark — but also one of its most visited.
Lines can be extremely long, and navigating the different options (stairs, elevators, summit, levels) can be confusing.

Booking an Eiffel Tower tour ensures you’ll:
✔️ Skip the lines
✔️ Get priority access to the right levels
✔️ Enjoy expert commentary about the tower’s history and construction
✔️ Make the most of your visit — whether by day or night!

It’s the smartest, most enjoyable way to experience the Eiffel Tower and therefore one of the betting Paris guided tours

Skip-the-Line Eiffel Tower Tours

Skip-the-line tours take you past the general ticket line, which can often be 1–2 hours long (or more in summer).

You’ll enter through a priority access line, and your guide will lead you directly to the elevators or stairs — depending on your chosen tour — with fascinating stories and insights about Gustave Eiffel’s creation along the way.
