Frequently asked questions
Is it skip-the-line?
No, and nobody can honestly promise that. Your lift time is reserved and the ticket is bought, so you will not queue at a ticket desk, but the tower's security check applies to every visitor.
Do we go to the summit?
Not on this tour. It goes to the 2nd floor. If you want the summit, book the Summit Guided Tour & Seine River Cruise.
Can children join?
Yes. Children of every age are welcome: under-4s go free, and 4–17s pay the youth rate. Pushchairs must be folded in the lifts, so a baby carrier is easier.
Is the river cruise guided?
The cruise has recorded audio commentary on board. Your guide's part of the tour ends at the tower; we walk you to the boat, a few minutes away, and your 1-hour cruise ticket is ready.
Is there a night tour in summer?
Yes. From June to August there are 18:00 and 21:00 departures as well as 09:00. The 21:00 tour shows you the tower and the city at dusk, and the cruise is after dark. From September to May the times are 09:00 and 17:00.
How big is the group?
8 guests at most, plus your guide. Since 29 September 2026 the Eiffel Tower treats groups of more than 9 people (guide included) differently, so we never go above 8 guests.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time, with a full refund.
Is the tour in English?
Yes, entirely.
How much does the Eiffel Tower 2nd Floor Guided Tour & Seine River Cruise tour cost?
Prices per person: standard group €90 per adult. Reduced youth prices apply to 4–17, and children 0–3 go free.
Is the entry ticket included?
Yes — the entry ticket is included and reserved for your time slot.
