What to expect
Meet your guide near the base of the Eiffel Tower, listening all the while to the fascinating history of the original “Dame de Fer” (Iron Lady). You’ll have a chance to enjoy her every curve from every angle and to understand the beautiful science that keeps her standing.
Your guide will accompany you to the dedicated observation deck on the second level, from where they’ll point out the marvels that lay at your feet. From here, take in iconic sights such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysees, and Notre Dame while enjoying your guide's insightful and entertaining commentary. Join us as we explore the beauty and history of the Eiffel Tower. Love her or hate her, there’s no doubt that even at over 120 years old, she still knows how to put on a show.
