So creative and fun
Fantastic activity! The booklet is very well made, the clues are logical and the passages themselves are stunning. One of the most memorable things we did in Paris.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Axel! I’m really happy you enjoyed the experience, and especially the booklet and the clues — a lot of work goes into creating them, so that means a lot to us! The covered passages are such a beautiful and unique part of Paris, and I’m delighted the treasure hunt became one of the highlights of your trip. Thank you again for your lovely review! 😊 Au revoir et à bientôt ! Marion.

Fun for the whole family!
We had a great time exploring the covered passages with this treasure hunt! It was a fun way to discover a real hidden gem of Paris while solving puzzles together. Even our kids stayed engaged the whole time (which is quite an achievement!). Marion was always available if we needed help, while still letting us enjoy the experience on our own. A big thank you to Marion for her flexibility. She contacted us beforehand to suggest an earlier time slot so we could avoid doing the tour during the afternoon heatwave, which we really appreciated.
Response from the operator: Bonjour ! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed discovering one of Paris' hidden gems through the treasure hunt. It's especially rewarding to know that the puzzles kept your kids engaged from start to finish! Thank you as well for your kind words about the schedule adjustment. With the summer heat, we always try to make the experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible whenever we can, so we're happy the earlier start worked well for you. It was a real pleasure to welcome you, and we hope to see you again for another adventure in Paris! Marion.

Magnificent experience!!!
We called upon From Paris With Fun for a team-building day, and the entire team was delighted with this experience. The treasure hunt was a true success: playful, original, and perfectly organized. I recommend this adventure 100%! Maëva
Response from the operator: Un immense merci Maëva pour ce très beau retour ! J’ai été ravie d’accueillir votre équipe et je garde un excellent souvenir de ce moment passé ensemble. Je suis très heureuse que l’enquête ait plu à toute l’équipe et que ce moment de cohésion ait été une réussite :) Encore merci pour votre confiance et peut-être à une prochaine aventure parisienne ! Marion.

Sounded fun, but was a no show
Our guide never showed up, so we had to contact Viator. Since the guide did not answer the phone for the Viator contact, we ended up waiting for over 45 minutes before we could leave and receive a refund. We did hear from the tour operator later in the day, who offered to send us a PDF of the hunt if we wanted to try it. However, we not no longer in the area to do it.
Response from the operator: Dear Amy, I’m truly sorry again for what happened that day. Something definitely went wrong on my side, and unfortunately I had your booking scheduled incorrectly in my calendar, which meant I wasn’t there to welcome you as planned. I completely understand your frustration, especially after having to wait and contact Viator before being able to continue your day. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused during your time in Paris. As soon as I realized the mistake, I tried to offer the PDF version of the game so you could still enjoy part of the experience independently, although I completely understand that by then you were no longer nearby. Of course, I also made sure the booking would be refunded through the platform. This situation is absolutely not representative of the experience I usually aim to provide, which makes it even more upsetting for me personally. I sincerely apologize again and hope you still had a wonderful stay in Paris despite this unfortunate experience. Warm regards, Marion

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Explore the Covered Passages of Paris with a track game: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Explore the Covered Passages of Paris with a track game cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Explore the Covered Passages of Paris with a track game take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Explore the Covered Passages of Paris with a track game worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Explore the Covered Passages of Paris with a track game?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Explore the Covered Passages of Paris with a track game suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore the Covered Passages of Paris with a track game?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore the Covered Passages of Paris with a track game start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
