Your day at a glance
Your tour starts at a location about a 5-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, where you'll meet your guide for an introduction to this Parisian icon. Then avoid the entrance queue with your skip-the-line ticket to go up to the viewing platform on the 2nd level.
Look out at Paris from your bird's-eye vantage point, and hear facts and anecdotes about the Eiffel Tower's history, from its time as a despised monstrosity to the legend it is today. Then you have free time to continue up to the 3rd level to admire the city from the Summit. You can visit the former office of Gustave Eiffel, or perhaps enjoy a drink at the bar (own expense).
On your way down, you might want to stop by the 1st-floor immersion gallery, gift shop, or vertigo-inducing glass floor. When you're back on land, you can use your provided ticket for a 1-hour Seine River cruise, valid for six months from your Eiffel Tower visit. Hop aboard the riverboat, and glide through the heart of Paris for views of its elegant bridges and waterfront landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Everything was well organized. I think the guide should have a microphone. We could not hear him as we walked many blocks to the Eiffel Tower.
