We didn't just walk around the base but I bought tickets to get to the top (had the combo ticket for the lift and a glass of champagne at the bar at the top).
Got the tickets in advance on the tour eiffel website https://ticket.toureiffel.paris/en and it all went very smoothly. Like with airline award inventory, advance-sale tickets are limited and only made available 60 days in advance, so you need to be quick to snap them up as soon as they get added (T-60 days at midnight local time) . The party I did this for were first-time Paris and France visitors, and the experience was worth the money.
