About this experience
Meet your host at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and head straight past the ticket queues. Learn how Gustave Eiffel’s engineers raised the tower for the 1889 World’s Fair, then ride the lift to the second floor for sweeping views of the Seine, Trocadéro and Montmartre. With the summit option you continue to the very top, 276 metres above Paris, where you can see Eiffel’s restored private office.
