Advantages of the guided tour
The tour experience
01: See you on the Esplanade
Meet your guide 15 minutes before the start of the tour at the Official Guided Tours meeting point (don't forget the security checks at the site entrances, which may take 10 to 20 minutes). Your guide will take care of you, and you will benefit from easier access to the Top.
02: Discover how the historic elevators work
From an exceptional and perfectly preserved vantage point over the hydraulic elevator shaft dating from 1899, you will gain a detailed understanding of the workings of this machinery found nowhere else in the world.
03: The magic of the ascent and the Second Floor
You can then savor the thrills of the ascent to the Second Floor. Throughout the visit, your Official Guide will be happy to share tales of momentous and everyday moments in the Tower's history with you, from the monument to the company, and from the past to the present.
04: Back down to the heart of the structure
After returning to the Second Floor (by elevator), you will take the stairs to the First Floor, at the heart of the structure. Your Guide will tell you more about the structure of the monument and the history of its construction.
05: Don't leave us without obtaining your privileges!
Once you reach the First Floor, it will be time to say goodbye to your Guide, but you can extend your visit and explore this floor a little longer, where you can take advantage of the benefits on offer by presenting your guided tour tickets. For a bite to eat, you will receive a 10% discount on a special menu served at the first-floor bistro (located in the Ferrié Pavilion) depending on the time of your visit (breakfast, lunch/snack or afternoon snack). This offer also applies to the buffet on the Esplanade! You will also benefit from an exceptional 10% discount in our official gift shops on all products in the exclusive Eiffel Tower Collection, which promotes French expertise.
