This was the best experience I’ve had in Paris! Raphael was an excellent guide and driver. We went to the Montmartre area and he stopped to explain some of the important sites there. The views were spectacular. He picked me up and brought me back to my hotel. Perfect way to spend my morning.

    Unique and wonderful way to see Paris

    Overpriced and not worth it

    Amrah_S, May 2026
    The staff are friendly but be carful we have not seen half of the locations it mentioned in the list of locations / places and thus I found it over priced as you get stuck in traffic and the hour and half gets wasted

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Hello Amrah, I’m Raphaël, the driver who took your family on the tour that day. I’m sorry that the traffic affected your experience. Unfortunately, the day of the Champions League final between Paris and Arsenal brought exceptional traffic and restrictions throughout the city. We did visit all of the locations included in the itinerary. The only exception was that road closures prevented us from driving directly in front of Notre-Dame, although we were still able to see it from a distance, and I shared its history during the tour. Because of the traffic, we spent a little less time at some stops than usual, but we still stopped at each location for photos. As discussed during the tour, we also chose to keep the tour moving to ensure you arrived on time for your scheduled massage appointment. Before the tour, we suggested alternative times because we expected traffic to be especially difficult, but you preferred to keep the original schedule. These situations are unusual and generally only occur during major events such as marathons or large sporting events. We always do our best to adapt and provide the best possible experience, even when dealing with circumstances that are beyond our control. Best, Raphaël

    Best first exploration of the city

    Carmela_O, May 2026
    Raphael was an amazing guide! Since this was our first trip to Paris, we chose to do the side car on our first day as an overview of the city. It was the perfect choice! Absolutely exceeded our expectations! With fun stories and attention to details, Raphael, showed us not only the most notable landmarks, but also the less famous yet intriguing sites.

    An absolute must for kids!

    Elisabeth_D, Apr 2026
    Phenomenal way to see the city! Unbelievably wonderful tour guides. Pictures of a lifetime! Perfect for kids, adults, anyone.

    This was a great way to see Paris and to get the lay of the land. Rafael and Anthony are knowledgeable and entertaining (and take great pictures)! Highly recommended!

    Fun trip!

    It was Awesome!

    Janeane_A, Sep 2025
    We loved it! What a great way to see Paris. Raphael was awesome, and an excellent photographer too! My friend had never been to Paris and this allowed us to see the top sites and get some history in a fun way.

    Great fun with a great guide

    What a wonderful way to see Paris! The guide was highly knowledgeable and had tons of information we never thought we would learn. We saw so much! The ride was fun and safe and we had a blast!

    Great night out with Raphael.

    Katriona_L, Jul 2025
    Whizzed through the streets of Paris on the 9.30 pm tour, traffic is quieter then...lovely guide, saw everything we wanted to see in one blast. The bike is soooo comfortable !

    Great activity for young teens/families

    Erin_S, Jun 2025
    This was a blast and perfect for young teens! The guides were fun and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great morning!!!

    Such a unique fun way to visit Paris

    Alexia_R, Jun 2025
    Myself, my 14 year old son and two friends took this tour today and we had so much fun. It was a very unique cool way to see Paris. Both of our guides were very friendly and nice and took so many pics for us. I would definitely do it again and recommend it.

    Loved it!! Just book it

    Mary_C, Jun 2025
    Highly recommended!!! I did the 9pm tour which was good for traffic AND sunset views (during my summer) - rode around the arc de triomphe; got some great pictures. Very memorable experience and totally worthwhile! Did this on my first night. Served as a great recap and offered a new point of view that I hadn’t seen in Paris before. Very fun.

    Paris by motorcycle and sidecar

    Kimball_J, Jun 2025
    Fabulous tour of Paris!! I cannot say enough about the experience. Our expectations were blown away. We had the BEST driver, knowledgeable, professional and fun! We’ve had many highlights on this trip and this one should not be missed. LOVED IT!!

    First time sidecaring

    Roderick_k, May 2025
    Couldn’t have imagined a better way to see the city! Very peaceful ride and not a lot of stopping! Got to prioritize my must sees but had a lot of help as I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to see. Would absolutely recommend for anyone short on time. Use the motorbike to see everything go back to see specifics on foot. Great ride and great conversation!

    Highlight of Our Trip!!

    Colleen_P, Apr 2025
    Raphael was Amazing! Charismatic, Fun, & spoke English well. Very knowledgeable about history & views. Navigated traffic smoothly. (We were a bit concerned about the traffic there prior to the trip) Shared info & stories about the area. Asked if there was anything particular we wanted. Took Great Photos for Us!! Comfortable ride. Will definitely do it again if we return. 💞

    FLORENCE_B, Apr 2025
    I took the 9PM motorcycle sidecar tour. Paris was beautiful glittering with lights. My guide, Raphael was knowledgeable and entertaining. I am 71 years old and Raphael was patient and kind helping me get in and out of the sidecar.

    Sidecar tour

    Lisa_Y, Apr 2025
    This was such a fun experience! Raphael and Greg were fantastic and showed us some great spots in Montmartre. Definitely recommend to others!

    This was a great way to...

    Stephanie_L, Apr 2025
    This was a great way to get oriented to the city on our first day here. There were several sites that we saw by motorcycle and sidecar which we felt like we could check off our list without having to spend a lot of time there later in the week. We were a group of four, including a 10-year-old and 13-year-old. Raphael and Greg made everyone feel comfortable and safe. Raphael pointed out monuments and buildings and gave us snippets of history on everything, which I loved. Greg was a little quieter, but my husband and son who were with him didn’t mind. We had a wonderful time, and I would highly recommend with tweens/teens!

    The Grandkids had the best first day in Paris.

    James_C, Mar 2025
    Raphael was a wonderful guide and very safe driver. We saw the best spots, got some beautiful photos, and the grandkids will never forget their first glimpse of Paris.

    Three Wheel Fun!

    Quinne_E, Dec 2024
    This was a fabulous experience for our family of 4! What a great and unique way to see the city. Our tour guide, Raphael, took us by places we might never have seen. We would definitely recommend this tour!

    Wonderful motorcycle with side car tour!!!

    Natasha_D, Dec 2024
    Wonderful experience with Raphael!!! Highly recommend this tour of Paris! You see all the popular sites and he is very informative and interesting with descriptions. Do not hesitate to take this tour! 5 stars he even offers restaurant help

    Nedjeljka_M, Dec 2024
    Raphael was a great guide and the experience was fantastic! I had so much fun during the tour. He told me about the history of the places we saw, he was very fun and kind. I would 100% recommend this experience. Next time I’m in Paris I’ll do it again cos traveling around such beautiful city on a motorbike is definitely an experience you don’t want miss. Thank you Raphael!

    If you're at all thinking...

    R_H, Dec 2024
    If you're at all thinking about booking this tour, book it! You will not regret it. My guide Raphael was kind, informative, and provided a wonderful introduction to Paris. He also secured dinner reservations for after the tour that made the evening perfect. I highly recommend this tour.

    Fantastic!
