Our guide was wonderful and picked us up right outside our hotel. The motorbike was so sleek and stylish and people smiled at us all morning which showed a warm side of Parisian life. It was nice going the second morning so we had a minimal lay of the land and could absorb the landmarks a bit more. 10/10!

What a treat! Antoine is a fantastic tour guide and a delightful storyteller. He is so knowledgeable on French history and current culture as well. The sidecar tour was a perfect introduction to Paris, and we are so glad we started our visit this way. Antoine is proud of Paris and a perfect unofficial ambassador to this beautiful and fascinating city. Thank you, Antoine!

    This was an amazing experience. Worth the money. Retro tours made my birthday really memorable and special.

    Fun

    Great way to see the streets of Paris with my teenager. Frank took us to see places I had not seen yet. He was a great guide.

    Great way to see the city!

    Had a wonderful time thanks to Gio, our tour guide! Booked the 1.5 hr tour and he asked us which side of Paris we would like to see. We chose Moulin Rogue and Montremre. It was perfect to just glide right up those steep hills! My 14 year old loved it! I sat on backseat and it was comfortable but be prepared to use those arm muscles to hang on! Gio was helpful, informative (pointed out a couple of nice restaurants!) and offered to stop at a little shop if we were interested in picking out a souvenir. He even dropped us off at a restaurant close to our hotel because we were hungry at the end! Thanks Gio!

    Wonderful Experience!

    E_G, Aug 2026
    Have an idea of what you would like to see. But guide will most definitely help you with a suggested route depending on time etc.

    Not to be missed!!!

    Ben and Gio were amazing and we had the best experience!!! Highly recommend this great way to see Paris!

    Great way to see Paris!

    Such a fun way to see Paris! Our driver was very knowledgeable and kind. We had a great time. The pickup at the hotel was so convenient!

    Lone this tour

    Vera_N, Jul 2026
    This was a super fun way to see the Latin quarter in Paris. The streets were not too crowded and the scenery was beautiful. And of course, the sidecar is epic. The only thing I would say is that an hour does go quickly so you may want to consider doing this more customized for a longer tour.

    Side car tour with family

    Best possible way to see a lot of Paris quickly - and see Paris traffic up close and personal 😀!!!!

    So much fun!!

    Rory_S, Jul 2026
    This one-hour tour was a ton a fun!! We were able to see so much of Paris that we would not have seen otherwise. Our tour guides / drivers were all knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend.

    Off the beaten path

    Darlene_B, Jul 2026
    We had a fantastic time on this tour. Travelling on a motorcycle and sidecar, our driver was able to get through tiny streets that cars are not able to get through enabling us to see a side of Paris that many do not get to see. Our driver was not only our driver but a very knowledgeable guide about French history. He was very accommodating in our requests for sights to see and recommended a few that we had not thought of. He also recommended a nice bakery to enjoy our lunch at. It was a fantastic way to see Paris. We would highly recommend this tour.

    Five stars are not enough - Merci, Antoine!

    This was so fun and our guides were great with our kids. We did this on our first night in Paris and it was worth it!

    Wonderful experience!

    Jodi_T, Jul 2026
    Alex was absolutely amazing. This was the best day we had in Paris. He showed us so many sights we wouldn’t have gotten a chance to see. I highly recommend this tour and especially recommend Alex!!

    Best tour of the city

    This is a lovely intimate way to see all the touristy spots in Paris without the worry of crowds. Fun

    Super cool way to see the city!

    Kristi_P, Jun 2026
    This was one of our best tours!! We had 3 generations and all of us thought this was awesome! Fun, entertaining and informative! The guides (Frank, Chris and Tom) were outstanding and even helped us make lunch reservations! This made it easy and fun to see the entire city - even for my dad who walks with a cane. Do this - super cool tour!!

    Timothy was a great...

    Best Experience

    Roger_S, Jun 2026
    This tour is everything!! We only had a day in Paris and Martin took us to see it all. After seeing the traffic upon arrival we were second guessing our decision of booking - but never once did we feel unsafe with Martin. If you are on the fence about it - just book it! You will have zero regrets. Honestly one of the best tours we’ve ever done.

    Wonderful time spent!

    Rhonda_S, May 2026
    I love love the sidecar experience. A great way to see the city, If you have been several times before.

    suzanne_c, May 2026
    The whole experience was great fun .It made it even more fun because of our guide /driver , Giovani . It was worth the money and highly recommend

    A fun enjoyable ride....

    John_R, May 2026
    A fun enjoyable ride. With your driver guide you can agree what you want to see & where to go or you can use his recommendation. We used our drivers recommendation & went to Montmartre/Sacre Coeur. On a steep hill, so useful to avoid the walk up. We drove around small cobbled streets & enjoyed the Montmartre/Sacre Coeur atmosphere. The driver provided helmuts & gloves & would have provided a poncho if required, but no rain, so not required. This was a first for me as i had not sat on a motorbike before. A practical way of getting around areas of Paris. Our driver pointed out sights & gave us info during the trip.

    Fun ride with family

    Nikola_K, May 2026
    This was by far the best experience we had in Paris. I first saw these guys about a year and a half ago in Montmartre, and I already knew that the next time we came to Paris, we had to do it. The drivers were fantastic — fun, professional, and full of interesting stories and historical insights about Paris. Depending on how much time you have, you can choose where you want to go, which makes the whole experience feel very personal and relaxed. It was incredibly fun, we felt completely safe the entire time, and my whole family was smiling throughout the ride and even hours afterward. This ended up being one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely do it again.

    Just Book It

    Amy_N, May 2026
    We had an amazing time on the vintage sidecar tour! It was such a fun adventure and definitely a memory we’ll keep forever. Our guide, Timothy, was fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable, and an excellent navigator through the streets of Paris. He shared so many interesting insights and hidden details about the city that we never would have discovered on our own. This tour was a perfect way to see the highlights and major landmarks of Paris in a unique and exciting way. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

    Motorcycle with sidecar tour through Paris

    Judith_K, May 2026
    I went on this trip with my 60 something friend and we had a blast riding the motorcycle in the side car with Aristide. He took us to some of the most beautiful sites through the backstreet of Paris and we were able to go to some of the higher points in Paris to look out over the city. It was absolutely stunning. I totally recommend this tour along with our great tour guide Aristide.

    Fun!

    Roberta_M, Apr 2026
