Enjoy Every Side of the Eiffel Tower
Start your tour at the Trocadéro Plaza - the best spot in the city to see and photograph the Eiffel Tower itself. Your expert, English-speaking guide will show you the most ideal angles and places to shoot images that you’ll treasure forever. In a small group of 24 or less, your guide will be able to give you a personalized experience as you explore the scenic area around the Eiffel Tower.
From the plaza, you’ll head across the Iena Bridge and to the Champ de Mars. The bridge spans the beautiful River Seine, and the tower will loom above you getting ever-closer as you walk over the water. Along the way, your guide will regale you with stories of the Eiffel Tower and how she came to be - the original Iron Lady, constructed in the 1880s by engineer Gustav Eiffel and his company. It was to be the entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair, and immediately received heavy criticism from artists and intellectuals across France. They thought she was too brash and not quite beautiful enough. Now, however, the tower is one of the most iconic structures in the world as well as being the most-visited.
From the bridge you’ll head to the Champ de Mars, a lush green space within the city and where the Eiffel Tower itself is located. The field is named after the Mars Field in Rome, which is a tribute the Roman god of war, and is yet another spot from which to see the tower from a new angle. This is where your short but informative guided tour will end, and your next stop will be the incredible Eiffel Tower.
Ascend the Tower for Panoramic Views
When you reach the tower, you’ll benefit from direct access to the elevators which lead to the 1st and 2nd floors. Usually, you’d be waiting in line for hours to ascend the tower - but City Wonders can get you to the elevators straight away. This shaves off plenty of time, meaning you’ll get the chance to really explore and appreciate the magnificence of the Eiffel Tower. Make the most of your time in Paris without having to wait around!

The views will take your breath away, and they are only the beginning. You’ll then head up again to the second floor, with its observation deck. From here you can take in the city’s most iconic landmarks: the Champs-Élysées, the Notre Dame and the amazing Arc de Triomphe. Take your time and enjoy every minute of it.
