Explore Palais Garnier’s gilded interiors and Paris’s hidden 19th-century shopping passages on a private tour for up to five people.
About this tour
Discover Paris through two striking sides of its history on a private Palais Garnier and covered passages walking tour. Inside the famed opera house, take in marble details, gilded interiors and the grand staircase, with your guide bringing the setting of The Phantom of the Opera to life. Then leave the grand stage behind and explore the 19th-century covered shopping passages, tucked-away arcades that reveal a quieter, atmospheric side of the city. This private experience is limited to five people, giving you room to ask questions and enjoy a more personal visit. A professional guide leads the tour, and private one-way transport from your hotel is available if you select that option. Otherwise, your guide will accompany you by public transport, usually the metro, to Palais Garnier. Food, drinks, gratuities and the return journey to your hotel are not included. See the opera house’s ornate interiors, then follow the passages into another chapter of Parisian life on this Paris Palais Garnier and Covered Passages Walking Tour.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 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 7.3. Top 35% in Paris means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Paris by this score.
