On this tour you will get to admire the Eiffel Tower from every angle: first from theTrocadero Plaza, then from the base and finally the tower’s observation level and summit.
Stop to gaze upon the tower in its entirety at Trocadero Plaza and get those all-important souvenir snaps as your guide explains the history of the construction from it's creation to near-demise to the glorious rise to the top – you will be provided with a headset so you will not miss a single intriguing fact!
Next, follow your guide across the Iena bridge to the base of the tower where you can appreciate every single curve and detail of Gustave Eiffel’s masterpiece and understand the science that keeps the tower standing.
Your last stop before heading to the Eiffel Tower will be Champ de Mars, a large stretch of grassland with gardens on both sides. Located between the École Militaire and the Seine River, you will enjoy uninterrupted, spectacular views of the Eiffel Tower.
Naturally, the highlight of the tour is the climb to the second level observation deck of the tower. You will not need to wait in the notoriously lengthy queues and are guaranteed faster access to the tower, granting more time to take in the view!
