Our Eiffel Tower Guided Tour to Second Level does not include access to the summit of the Tower, however you can buy tickets at the end of the tour. The summit may be closed for maintenance, safety or inclement weather. This will not affect your guided tour and no refunds or discounts will be given in the event the authorities close the summit.
The Tower does not offer skip-the-line access from the 2nd level to the summit and therefore we have no control over the potential wait for the elevator that takes visitors from the 2nd level to the summit. Additionally, there may be a wait for the elevators when descending the Tower.
Access to the Tower is subject to all policies and procedures of the Eiffel Tower (including closures or delays due to inclement weather, security threats, maintenance and or any other unforeseen closures). Also, admittance is subject to Eiffel Tower security clearance.
Our skip-the-line tours enable you to skip the line if indeed there is one. Unfortunately, there is no way to foresee which days and times will produce lines and which will not. In general, long lines are common in the summer, on most weekends and during peak travel periods throughout the year (Christmas, Easter, local holidays). Pre-book and pre-plan, and you’ll be guaranteed access to the Eiffel Tower to enjoy this small-group tour.
