Eiffel Tower tickets with an audioguide suit visitors who like to go at their own speed. You book a time slot, meet a host at Place de Sydney, and enter with a ticket for the first and second floors. A downloadable audioguide app tells the stories, and you can add the summit or a Seine cruise when you book. Prices start from EUR 79 per person and vary by date.

What Makes These Eiffel Tower Audioguide Tickets Special?

The audioguide is the point. Instead of following a guide who talks at a fixed pace, you can pause, replay or skip parts of the commentary. That works well if you travel with kids who lose interest quickly, or if you want to spend more time on the views. The audio is delivered as an app, so you also have Wi-Fi available during the visit.

The ticket also gives you access to the first floor's transparent walkway, 187 feet above the ground, for a thrilling look down.

What Do Eiffel Tower Tickets with an Audioguide Include?

The ticket includes entry to the first and second floors by elevator, a downloadable audioguide as an app, and Wi-Fi. The summit ticket by elevator and a cruise are included only if you select those options. Lunch, transport and tips are not included.

Remember to download the app and check your battery before you go up. Bring earphones if you can.

What to Expect on the Day

You meet the host at Place de Sydney at your booked time. From there you go to the entrance, take the elevator to the first and second floors, and use the audioguide as you explore. The audioguide covers the history of the tower and the landmarks you can see. There is no guide leading you, so you can spend as long as you like on each level.

Security screening applies to everyone. Choose an early or late slot to avoid the middle-of-the-day crowds.

Are Eiffel Tower Audioguide Tickets Worth It?

They are worth it if you value independence. You get the story without being tied to a group, and you can add options as you like. For people who find groups tiring, that is a real advantage.

They are less worth it if you want a human guide to ask questions. Also note that the price starts at EUR 79, so it is not the cheapest way in. If price is your main concern, a plain second floor ticket or the stairs climb costs less.

Who Should Book the Audioguide Tickets?

Independent travelers, families who want to move at a child's pace, and couples who prefer a quieter visit. It also works for visitors who speak languages that are not always available with live guides, since audio apps often cover more languages. Check the app languages before you book if that matters to you.

How Do You Get the Most Out of Eiffel Tower Audioguide Tickets?

Treat the audioguide as a map of stories, not a script. Start it on the ground so you hear how the tower was planned and built, then pause it on the second floor and just look. When you spot a landmark, replay the matching segment. Because nobody is leading you, you can split the visit into two parts: one for the commentary and one for photos. If you travel with a partner, share one set of earphones or bring a splitter so you both hear the same story. Kids often enjoy trying to spot the sights mentioned before the audio reaches them, which turns the deck into a small game.

Prices and Options

From EUR 79 per person, based on the base ticket. The summit and the cruise cost extra. Prices vary by date and demand, so check the live price. If you want a live guide instead, see the second floor and summit ticket with a guide.

Getting to the Meeting Point

Place de Sydney is next to the tower on the Champ de Mars side. The Bir-Hakeim Metro stop on line 6 and the RER C station Champ de Mars Tour Eiffel are both a short walk away. Your confirmation gives the exact meeting point and time, so follow those details rather than guessing from a map.

Insider Tips for Your Audioguide Visit

Download the app at your hotel on Wi-Fi so it is ready. Bring earphones and a small power bank. Take the first floor walkway on the way down, and give yourself time at each level instead of rushing to the summit. If you add the summit, dress warmly.

Do not try to listen to everything. Pick the stories that interest you and spend the rest of the time looking around.

How Does It Compare to Other Eiffel Tower Tickets?

For a full ticket with the summit built in and unlimited time, see the elevator and summit ticket. For a river cruise included in the booking, look at the tower and Seine cruise combo.
