Short on time during your stay in Paris and want to make the most of your visit? Want to avoid wasting time in the long lines at the major sites?
Join our Guided Express tour of the Eiffel Tower and get aquainted with Paris’s most famous lady. Meet your guide at the tower, and learn about the fascinating history of the original “Dame de Fer” (Iron Lady). The Eiffel Tower was born a rebel. She’s the most photographed woman in the world but if the critics had their way she would never have made her debut. Big, brash, and strong, she was like nothing anyone had ever seen before. Artists around the country worked tirelessly to stop her construction and then to bring her down but she would defy them all. She’s a surviver; outlasting all of her critics, reinventing herself generation after generation and working her way from outcast to perhaps the world’s greatest icon. It should have come as no surprise - the man behind her made a career of bucking the establishment; and Gustave Eiffel’s great Tower would eventually be his crowning achievement.
On this Express tour of the Eiffel Tower your expert, English-speaking, guide will reveal the stories behind her creation, near demise, and glorious rise to the top. You’ll have a chance to enjoy her every curve from every angle and to understand the beautiful science that keps her standing. With our Special Access, you’ll avoid the long general entry queues, gaining faster access to her privileged vantage point overlooking the City of Light. 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.
After touring Paris from above, you will have the opportunity to buy a ticket to the summit if you so wish. 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.
