Ticket Redemption Point

24 Rue Edgar Faure, 75015 Paris, France
Greet your guide at a central city location in Paris and stroll to the Eiffel Tower with your skip-the-line ticket. Sail past lines often in excess of two hours and begin exploring the iconic monument immediately. Enjoy illuminating commentary from your guide and hear tales of the tower’s ingenious designer, Gustave Eiffel, and its rich historical heritage. Watch insightful documentaries in the cinematic theater on the 1st Level and see an original spiral staircase used by the architect himself.

Ascend to the 2nd Level to absorb the sprawling cityscape of Paris from above. Enjoy ample time to enjoy the panoramic vistas and then be entertained by stories of crazy exploits involving the tower. 

After your 2-hour guided tour comes to an end, feel free to continue exploring the Eiffel Tower independently. Ascend to the 3rd Level for a glass of champagne at the vertiginous summit and return to the 1st Level for an alternative perspective of the city. 

Please note: Your skip-the-line access does not apply to lines for the elevator to the 3rd Level. This tour provides skip-the-line priority, but is subject to all procedures and security requirements of the Eiffel Tower.

Tickets are available up to 90 days in advance of your chosen travel date.

As advertised. Easy meet up with the tour guide and LOTS of great information shared about the history. Easy access to the first and second floor and tour guide found a way to get us up to the very top despite signs saying it was closed that day. Fantastic views from all floors and one of the highlights of the trip.

Not worth it. Nice group of people that worked there but the tour started when you got to the meeting place but we didn't enter the eifel tower for another hour. Too spread out so hard to hear the guide...meh. Do it yourself but make sure you buy the summit tix.

Very knowledgable tour guide who was also very humerous. And we were lucky since we were the only two who booked the tour, it was not just a small-group, but a private tour~ only one thing, the tour company should have told us that the eiffel has a lot of dust so that i could avoid long pants and avoid sweeping the floor.

Our European trip was cancelled due to Covid in Austria and Germany thus our last few days in France were cancelled. I notified the tour operator 13 days ahead of the tour. No refund was granted. I have no idea if our places on the tour were resold. Make sure you are willing to risk the entire cost of this tour if you book it. And, now especially, that can be real. I'm sure the tour would have been fine if we'd been able to get there.

Great tour, fantastic views, confusing office location for ticket pick-up

Excellent tour guide. Fat Tire tours would benefit from improved signage on their street corner. We had trouble finding their office location... it is tucked behind a residential building with no street signage on the front of the building. There is a tiny silver plate under the apartment buzzers that signifies that Fat Tire Tours is around the corner. There was another family on the same tour and they had the same experience with difficulty in finding the Fat Tire store front meeting place. We and they thought that we had been scammed.... Not seeing the store front once dropped-off by Uber, we actually left, went to the Eiffel Tower... saw that was incorrect, speed-walked back 10 minutes to the indicated location and found the store front tucked back behind the apartment building. The Fat Tire tours office is a 10 - 12 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower walking quickly and that was stressful for our family. Once we connected with our guide, we had a very good tour experience. Thanks to our tour guide. I feel that the messaging before the tour should specify more details about the location of Fat Tire Tours office and the lack of signage on the front of the residential building. This would cause less stress and confusion for the customer. Otherwise... we had a great time on the tour. The tower views are amazing and we enjoyed the 9 p.m. time slot. Thanks very much.

Erika was amazing, I totally reccomend skip the line Tours especially in Paris and especially in the summer. Loved Fat Tire Tours, Erika was extremely helpful and accommodating and she really took her time to explain in detail all the history and details about the Eiffel Tower, she also took her own time to walk us back to the tour center and get us all set of for our Catacombs tour as well. Highly likely I will use them again in the future. Thanks

Well worth the money. The guide was knowledgeable and I am glad we were able to skip the line thru this tour, because when we entered Eiffel tower around 10:00 am, the wait time in line was 2 hours and when we exited around 12:00 -1:00 pm, the wait time in line was 4 hours. We paid extra to go all the way on the top and the money paid was well worth it because we had two teenager kids with us and we all enjoyed the view of Paris from up top. The guide gave us detailed description on how and why the tower was built and on the top, there is a little closed office type of enclosure with Gustav Eiffel's statue in it, guide pointed us to that. We met some people down below who could not enter the Eiffel tower because the wait was frustrating. I am glad we were able to skip the line.

Definitely recommend! Skipping the line is worth it because you don't waste precious time which can be in short supply on some vacations. We had a great guide, who was pleasant, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about the history of the Eiffel Tower. The tour takes you to the top, where you experience the most amazing views of Paris.
