Best of Paris: Eiffel Tower Summit or 2nd Floor Guided Tour
Description
Choose the Paris view that fits your style, then let the city do the rest. Select an English-guided Eiffel Tower visit to the 2nd floor or summit, or pick a combo that pairs the tower with a Seine River cruise for an extra layer of Paris magic. Start at the Eiffel Tower and ride the elevator up to the 2nd floor, where the skyline spreads out in every direction. If the summit option is selected, continue higher by elevator to reach the tower’s highest level, including highlights like Gustave Eiffel’s private office. From there, enjoy a true 360° panorama over Paris landmarks. If the chosen option includes the Seine cruise, the next chapter is effortless. Boats depart from the Eiffel Tower area, so it’s easy to fit into your day. The cruise ticket is flexible and can be used the same day or another day, up to one year from booking. A multilingual audio guide from the cruise operator is included as you glide past Paris along the UNESCO-listed banks of the Seine.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Take the elevator up the tower with your pre-booked tickets. From the second floor or summit, enjoy sweeping views of Paris as you spot the Arc de Triomphe, the Seine River, and the Louvre in the distance, all framed by the city skyline.
Pause at the statue of Gustave Eiffel, the visionary behind the tower. This hidden gem at the base is often missed by visitors, but it’s the perfect way to connect with the history of Paris’s most iconic landmark.
Before or after your tower entry, use the immersive app to follow one of two 1.5-hour routes through Paris. Each stop includes its own audioguide story, bringing the city to life as you discover hidden gems, fashion hotspots, scandals, and perfect Eiffel Tower photo moments.
Prefer to relax instead? Board a Seine River cruise and see Paris from a fresh perspective, right from the water. Glide past famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, the Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and Île de la Cité, with beautiful bridges and classic riverfront views along the way.

We were welcomed and guided by Lucielle Omondi Dupont for the tour of the Eiffel Tower up to the 2nd floor. Lucielle is very friendly, we are very satisfied even if it was a little short. You can see that she loves what she does. We opted for a tour of the Eiffel Tower followed by a cruise on the Seine. No regrets!
Une belle combinaison pour découvrir Paris : la Tour Eiffel, puis une croisière sur la Seine. Nous sommes très heureux que Lucielle vous ait accueillis avec autant de gentillesse et qu’elle ait su transmettre son enthousiasme tout au long de la visite jusqu’au deuxième étage. On sent en effet toute la différence lorsqu’un guide aime réellement ce qu’il fait. Nous prenons également en compte votre remarque sur la durée, même si nous sommes ravis que l’ensemble de l’expérience vous ait pleinement satisfaits et que vous soyez repartis sans aucun regret. Merci beaucoup pour cette recommandation et pour vos mots chaleureux envers Lucielle. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours

Great experience with kemi as a tour guide. She was great presenting the city.
Kemi gave you more than a view from the Eiffel Tower, she helped turn the skyline into an introduction to Paris itself. We’re glad her way of presenting the city added context, personality, and extra meaning to the experience. Thank you for the lovely feedback! Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
