Eiffel Tower
Book a Paris tour package from India if you wish to witness the world-famous Eiffel Tower with your own eyes. The symbol of France, the Eiffel Tower receives around 7 million visitors annually, making it the world's most visited monument.
If you are visiting for the first time, taking the Eiffel tower tour and summit access is a must. You can either choose to use stairs or tower lifts. Keep in mind that the tower has 1,665 steps!
