FAQ

We meet at 32 Av. Octave Gréard, 75007 Paris, France.

Why here? It is a calm spot just a few minutes’ walk from the busy Eiffel Tower entrance. This allows us to check you in peacefully before heading to the security gates together.
Arrival: Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time.

How will I find my guide? Your guide will be very easy to spot!

Look for: The guide wearing a Black Cap with a white “SZ” logo.
Also: Look for the Scenic Zest Tours flag.

Climbing Tour (Available Now): This is an active experience. You walk up the stairs (674 steps) to the 2nd Floor with your guide. If you choose the Summit option, you take an elevator from the 2nd Floor to the top.
Elevator Experience (Coming Late 2025): This will be a fully relaxed tour where you take the elevator from the ground all the way to the 2nd Floor and Summit.

If you select the Climbing Tour + Summit Access, you still climb the stairs from the ground to the 2nd Floor. Once the guided tour finishes on the 2nd Floor, your guide will direct you to the dedicated elevator that takes you to the very top (Summit). You do not have to climb stairs to the Summit.

It involves walking up 674 steps to the 2nd floor. We take a manageable pace, stopping frequently to share stories and enjoy the views.

Note: If you book the Summit option, you must still be physically able to climb to the 2nd floor first. The Summit elevator only starts from the 2nd floor.

We are 100% honest: Everyone must pass through security checks, so there is no true “Skip the Line.” However, our Climbing Tour uses the dedicated stairs entrance, which generally has much shorter lines than the main elevator queues.

We operate rain or shine! The tower is safe and spectacular in all weather. If it is raining, please wear non-slip shoes and a rain jacket, as the stairs are outdoors.

No. Security at the Eiffel Tower is strict (airport-style). Large bags, suitcases, and non-folding strollers are prohibited, and there are no lockers on site. Please travel light.
