Important information
Is this tour accessible?
This tour is not suitable for those with mobility impairments. If mobility is an issue, please arrange for a private tour
How much walking is there?
This tour covers about 2 miles at a leisurely pace.
Is there a wait for the Eiffel Tower?
It’s important to note that this tour doesn’t include skipping the line at the Eiffel Tower, but your guide will purchase the tickets for you after you arrive. The wait time to purchase tickets can be up to two hours, but rest assured that your guide will keep you entertained and provide insightful information about the Eiffel Tower while you wait in line together.
What happens if the summit is closed?
Thank you for understanding that sometimes the Eiffel Tower closes the summit due to safety reasons beyond our control. If this happens, you’ll receive a partial refund for the amount of the summit upgrade, and you’ll still enjoy an elevator ride to the spectacular views of the tower’s second floor.
Do we enter Notre Dame?
No, we don't go inside Notre Dame, but we'll explore its intricate facades from the outside.
What is the rescheduling policy?
We understand plans change. We offer a 100% refund or the option to reschedule up to 24 hours prior to your tour start time. Within 24 hours of your tour, we would have incurred hard costs and therefore cannot allow rescheduling or cancellation without costs.
When should I get there?
Plan to show up 30 minutes early. The tour starts promptly, and you may not be able to catch up if you arrive late.
What if it rains?
Our tours run rain or shine. If there’s extreme weather and we have to cancel, you’ll get a full refund.
Are gratuities included?
Tips aren’t included but are always appreciated by our guides. If you think your guide did an outstanding job, a tip is a great way to show that.
Is lunch included?
Food isn’t included in this tour, but you will have a break midday to buy lunch at a bakery or restaurant. Your guide will have plenty of suggestions!

A couple things to note:
This ExperienceFirst tour doesn’t include skipping the line for the Eiffel Tower. Your guide will purchase tickets for you after you arrive. Please be aware that the wait time to purchase tickets can be up to two hours during peak season. However, rest assured that your guide will keep you entertained and provide insightful information about the Eiffel Tower while you wait in line together.
If the summit is closed when you receive your tickets from your tour guide, the summit portion of your tour will be refunded, and you’ll still enjoy a visit to the second floor. Please note that it’s not possible to cancel your reservation due to summit closure. The summit may be closed by Eiffel Tower staff for maintenance, weather, overcrowding or security, and this is unfortunately beyond our control.
