Reserved timed-entry tickets are included, but weather or security can close the summit, with a partial refund in that case. 4.72 from 106 reviews at €220 per person for 1h–2h. In our comparison: #17 of 25 in Eiffel Tower Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Elevate your visit to the Eiffel Tower with a private guided experience designed for ease and comfort. With reserved timed entry, your guide welcomes you for a seamless ascent by elevator to the second floor, where the beauty of Paris unfolds beneath you. In this personal setting, uncover the Tower’s story — its vision, its controversies, and the legacy it continues to inspire. Thoughtfully guided, this moment becomes more than a visit — it becomes a memory in the making, deeply connected to the spirit of the city. The experience then continues to the summit, where time is left to linger and take in the skyline at a relaxed rhythm, creating a Parisian moment meant to be remembered long after the journey ends. Enhance the experience with the option to include a one-hour champagne cruise on the Seine River, redeemable at your convenience — a perfect way to complete the day in timeless Parisian style. ## Before you book - Meeting point: PLEASE, - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - 7 start times: between 09:15 and 22:00 - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €65: ages 4 to 11 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €220 per person for the Eiffel Tower Private Tour option; other options up to €254 - Duration: 1h–2h - Rating: 4.72/5 from 106 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: VOYAGE - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Shared tour · private option available - Guide languages: English - Start times: 09:15, 19:30, 20:00, 20:30, 21:00, 21:30, 22:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-01 ## Reviews 4.72 from 106 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 93% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 99 of 106. - 5 stars: 94 (89%) - 4 stars: 5 (5%) - 3 stars: 1 (1%) - 2 stars: 1 (1%) - 1 star: 5 (5%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise informative guides and the views; some visitors miss the summit despite booking access. **Praised:** - Guides explain the tower's history with clear facts and stories - Humour and trivia help pass the time in queues - Patient, attentive guides answer questions and look after the group - Guides keep children engaged with questions and fun facts - Views across Paris from the tower **Complaints:** - Long queues for tickets and entry despite booking a guided tour - Some visitors do not receive the summit access they booked - Late cancellations disrupt plans, with unhelpful responses to complaints Written by Guidekin from the 98 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2024-07-02 to 2026-07-11); last checked 2026-10-03. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Eiffel Tower Private Tour | €220 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Eiffel Tower Private Tour: Eiffel Tower Skip-the-line Elevator Private Tour with Summit Access | | Add River Champagne Cruise | €254 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Add-on Champagne Seine River: Enjoy a 1-hour Seine cruise with a complimentary drink—champagne, wine, or a soft drink—redeemable any day, anytime. | ## What's included - Private guide for your party - Expert local guide - Optional 1-hour Seine champagne cruise (upgrade available) - Reserved timed-entry Eiffel Tower tickets - Guided access to the second floor by elevator - Access to all three floors of the Eiffel Tower, including the summit ## Itinerary 1. **Eiffel Tower** (2h; admission included) - Our friendly guide will greet you at the meeting point and lead you towards the Eiffel Tower.
