What You Will Do

See a different side of Paris’s ‘Iron Lady’ on a guided climbing tour of the Eiffel Tower. Take the slow and scenic route and climb the stairs! Learn all about the construction, controversies, and mystique surrounding the iconic tower from a guide as you ascend to the second level, admiring Gustave Eiffel’s intricate design from angles and viewpoints that most visitors miss. It’s an adventurous way to go behind the scenes—and under the beams—of one of the world’s most popular attractions.

Itinerary

Meeting Point

The meeting point is NOT at the Eiffel Tower. Meet outside the 1 Avenue Elisée Reclus, at the intersection between Avenue Silvestre de Sacy and Avenue Elisée Reclus. Your guide (wearing blue and holding a City Wonders sign) will be waiting for you on the intersection of the two streets

1

Avenue Elisée Reclus

20 minutes

Begin your tour near the base of the Eiffel Tower, where your expert guide will give you an introduction to the structure. From here, walk with your guide to the ticket entrance of the Eiffel Tower where you’ll have your first opportunity for a close-up look at the monument while we arrange your tickets. Please note that during busy periods, there may be a wait to access the ticket desk, as well as to clear the security and stairs lines. If there is a wait, your guide will use this time to share engaging stories and historical insights about the Tower’s creation. This comprehensive tour typically lasts around 2 hours, but wait times for security checks can sometimes extend the tour duration
