Solve about 15 puzzles as you explore Paris’s elegant covered passages, historic galleries, and Royal Palace gardens at your own pace.
About this tour
Trade Paris’s grand boulevards for the quiet charm of its covered passages, where glass roofs, mosaics, and distinctive shops reveal another side of the city. This self-guided Paris Covered Passages Track Game turns the walk into an investigation, with a booklet of cultural anecdotes and about 15 puzzles to solve along the way.
Set out at your own pace through the Verdeau, Jouffroy, and Panorama passages, then the Vivienne and Colbert galleries, before reaching the gardens of the Royal Palace. Most of the route is sheltered, and you can pause for a coffee or take in the galleries as you go. The activity averages 2 hours and has a 3-hour time limit. After a welcome and equipment handover, you play independently, with phone support available and staff waiting at the end for the final resolution. If the Colbert Passage closes unexpectedly, you can still complete the investigation.
Bring family or friends and discover Paris through observation, logic, and local history. Book your Paris Covered Passages Track Game for a playful route through the city’s hidden architectural gems.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.50 from 10 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
- 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: this tour scores 6.7.
