Paris Passages: 2-Hour Guided City Tour in German｜France

This city tour was developed by the Paris experts at HelpTourists (Denise). Our German-speaking team has lived in Paris for many years and shows visitors not only the famous landmarks, but above all the hidden places and special stories that make the city so unique.

Discover a hidden side of Paris that many visitors never get to see. The historic Parisian passages are hidden between the streets of the city center and take you back to another era – with magnificent glass roofs, elegant mosaic floors, small boutiques, and a very special charm.

On this small-group walking tour, your German-speaking guide will lead you through some of the most beautiful covered passages in the city. You will learn why these extraordinary places were created in the early 19th century, how they revolutionized the shopping habits of Parisians, and why they are once again among the most exciting insider tips in the capital today.

While bustling Paris pulsates outside, you will stroll through an almost forgotten world full of historic architecture, hidden courtyards, traditional shops, and fascinating stories. Your guide will tell you about the origins of the passages, their decline, and their rediscovery, showing you many details that most visitors pass by without noticing.
