This one-of-a-kind adventure takes you on an immersive journey and discover Paris from a breathtaking perspective! Step into the footsteps of Gustave Eiffel himself and experience the Eiffel Tower as he once did—by climbing its stairs!
Unlike most visitors who take the elevator, you’ll walk up the stairs, enjoying a truly immersive experience filled with stunning views and fascinating stories. At every step, your expert guide will unveil the incredible history, engineering marvels, and hidden secrets of this world-famous monument.
Once you reach the second level, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the most beautiful view of Paris by taking the elevator all the way to the very top. At 276 meters more than 900 feet high, soak in the ultimate panoramic views of Paris, a once-in-a-lifetime moment you won’t want to miss!
what to expect:
1. Meeting the Tour Guide
Please arrive 15 minutes before your tour start time at 3 Rue Buenos-Ayres, 75007 Paris (next to Castel Café). This is a small street directly facing Entrance 1 of the Eiffel Tower. Look for our guide holding a blue sign that says “Epic Tours.”
2. Security Checks & Ticket Purchase
The guide will accompany you through the first security check, then to the ticket line for the stairs. As waiting times can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours, your guide will use this time to share the history of the Eiffel Tower, point out key monuments, and offer recommendations for your stay in Paris.
3. Climbing the Stairs
We will climb 328 steps to reach the first floor, where we’ll take a short break (restroom access available). Then we’ll continue 342 steps up to the second floor.
Guests with summit access will take the elevator to the top from the second floor and can explore it on their way down afterward.

Ascend the Eiffel Tower as Gustave Eiffel intended—on foot. He believed walking offered the best experience, so we created the original Eiffel Tower Guided Climb. Follow your local guide inside to learn about its engineering, design, and once-controversial story.
Pause on the first floor to see a salvaged spiral staircase and step onto the glass floor for a unique vantage point. Then continue to the second level for sweeping views of the Louvre, Notre Dame, Montmartre, the Seine, and beyond. Treat yourself to macarons or shop for souvenirs before your guided tour concludes.
If you’ve selected the summit upgrade, board a glass-walled elevator to the pinnacle. Peek into Gustave Eiffel’s restored office—complete with wax figures of Claire and Thomas Edison—and explore historical exhibits. If you’d like a toast at the champagne bar, please note any drinks are at your own expense. Per tower rules, head straight to the summit from the second floor, then revisit the lower levels afterward.
