The Eiffel Tower is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. Standing 1,063 feet tall and weighing 7,000 tons, but wielding about the same pressure on the ground as an average-size person sitting in a chair.
As the sun sets, the Eiffel Tower becomes a glittering emblem of Paris; it’s a completely magical experience to visit the Eiffel Tower in the evening. An English speaking guide will share interesting stories and you will also be given headphone so that you can hear the guide loud and clear.
Skip-the-line and whisk straight up to the second floor of the tower. Spot the city’s other famous illuminated monuments from your bird’s-eye viewpoint, with the help of your guide who will point out all the major sights. Then go up to the top floor at your leisure and enjoy the view for as long as you please. From March 2016, the Eiffel Tower ticket will not include access to the Summit.
After the Eiffel Tower, you can opt for an hour long Seine River Cruise and admire the views of beautiful bridges and various landmarks which line the river banks, such as Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Musée d'Orsay.
