About this tour
Step beneath Paris’s glass roofs and discover five covered passages that many visitors walk past without noticing. This 4-hour Paris Covered Passages and Wine Tasting tour pairs distinctive architecture with the stories of merchants, scandals, and near-demolitions that shaped these historic arcades.
Follow a compact, walkable route through passages with their own styles and character, guided by a local expert who brings each stop to life with historical context. The experience ends at the Wine Gate in Galeries Lafayette, where you can enjoy a tasting from the Discovery or Passion package. A cheese plate and three 7 cl glasses of wine round out the visit. Paris Covered Passages and Wine Tasting offers a relaxed way to explore the city’s hidden interiors and finish with French wine rather than a hurried photo stop.
Meet your guide outside at the top of the steps of Cadet metro station, Line 7, near 65 Rue La Fayette. Book your Paris Covered Passages and Wine Tasting tour to see a quieter side of the city.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
