Guidekin's take

Take the stairs up the Eiffel Tower, with second-floor and summit-access options.

A guide and entrance tickets are included, but skip-the-line access is excluded and the climb requires moderate fitness. 4.83 from 89 reviews at €54 per person for 2h.

In our comparison: #10 of 25 in Eiffel Tower Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
