Our visit to Disneyland Paris was truly special because it felt like stepping into a real-life fairytale. From the moment we entered the park, the atmosphere, music, and beautifully designed streets created a magical feeling for both kids and adults. The rides were unforgettable — especially the themed attractions where every small detail, from the queue decorations to the storytelling inside the ride, made us feel part of the adventure rather than just visitors. The parade and fireworks at night were the highlight of the day; seeing the castle light up while characters passed by created a moment we will always remember together as a family. Headout made the experience smooth and stress-free. The tickets were easy to access on the phone, entry was quick, and we avoided long waiting times, which allowed us to enjoy more rides and shows instead of standing in queues. This convenience gave us more quality time together and made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, it wasn’t just a theme park visit — it was a full magical experience filled with joy, excitement, and family memories that we’ll cherish for years.

An Unforgettable Eiffel Tower Experience – Perfectly Curated by Headout & the Brilliant Marciella Visiting the Eiffel Tower is a dream for many, but experiencing it this seamlessly and memorably is something special—and Headout delivered that magic flawlessly. From the moment the booking was confirmed, everything was smooth, professional, and reassuring. The real highlight, however, was our tour guide, Marciella—an absolute gem. Her warmth, clarity, and deep knowledge transformed what could have been a routine visit into a truly immersive Parisian experience. Marciella navigated us effortlessly through the crowds, shared fascinating historical insights and charming anecdotes, and made sure everyone felt engaged and cared for. Her passion for Paris was infectious, and her explanations added layers of meaning to every view and every moment atop the tower. Standing at the Eiffel Tower, gazing over Paris with such a well-guided narrative, felt less like a tourist activity and more like being welcomed into the story of the city itself. If you’re considering the Eiffel Tower, Headout is the way to go—and if you’re lucky enough to have Marciella as your guide, you’re in for an exceptional experience. Highly recommended for anyone who values comfort, insight, and a touch of elegance in their travels. 🌟 Truly world-class.

To walk the corridors of Marie Antoinette and be immersed in their lives and a countries history was truly stupendous. Would definitely revisit as there is just so much to take in Wetherspoon it be the house or immense gardens. The scale of Versailles has to be experienced to actually comprehend its magnitude, truly spectacular in architecture and magnificence.

Things to know before booking your Eiffel Tower tickets

Choose your view: Summit vs. the second floor

  • The second-floor tickets give you access to the 1st and 2nd floors of the tower. A more affordable choice, it is perfect for those who want to enjoy panoramic views of Paris without the higher price or longer wait times associated with the summit. Plus, at 115 meters (377 feet) above ground, the second floor offers panoramic views of Paris that are stunning yet less intimidating for those who might have a fear of heights.
  • On the other hand, the summit tickets provide access to all three levels: the 1st, 2nd, and summit floors. The summit, being the tallest observation point in Europe, offers breathtaking views of Paris and its iconic landmarks, making it well worth the upgrade.                                                       
  • Note: Summit access is only available via elevator from the 2nd floor and requires a separate ticket.

Getting to the top: Stairs or the elevator?

  • For a more budget-friendly and physically engaging option, choose the stairs ticket. Climbing 674 steps to the 2nd floor provides a close-up view of the tower’s intricate ironwork and is ideal for those looking to avoid crowds and seeking a bit of adventure.
  • For a more relaxed visit, the elevator is the most popular choice, especially during peak times. To reach this floor, you must take a separate elevator from the 2nd floor. If you’re feeling ambitious, consider combining both experiences: climb to the 2nd floor via the stairs, then take the elevator to the summit.

Streamline your visit: hosted entry & guided tours

  • If you’re interested in learning about the tower’s history and architecture, a guided tour is a great investment. These tours are led by expert guides who provide insights, all the while pointing out unique features of the tower.
  • Prefer to explore at your own pace but want to skip the long queues? Hosted entry allows you to navigate the security and ticket counters with the help of a guide, who will ensure you have a smooth entry to either the 2nd floor or the summit.

Dining with a view

  • Enhance your visit with a meal at the casual yet chic Madame Brasserie on the first floor. This ticket includes a dedicated entry line to the elevator so you can bypass the long queues easily. You can opt for a lunch or a dinner experience.
  • However, dining reservations do not include access to higher levels like the second floor or summit, but you are free to explore the first floor after your meal.

When to book tickets?

To ensure you get your preferred time slot, it’s best to secure your Eiffel Tower tickets online as early as possible—ideally 60 days in advance, especially if you plan to visit the summit.
