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!

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!!

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

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 guide, pointed out so many highlights, provided tons of info of all the sights and navigated us through the city streets with ease! Great way to see the city!

This is a fun activity and a great way to see Paris! Very unique and educational, the guides were excellent!

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.

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. 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.

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.

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!

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.

Ask for Antoine to be your guide. He combines facts and history to provide you with a great experience
Pelle_B, Apr 2026
Great way to experience the Paris highlights. Very flexible setup. The great guides gave us a fun and enjoyable time.
christy_g, Apr 2026
This was so fun! It’s a great way to see Paris. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly and it felt super safe. It was great. My kids absolutely loved it.
Michelle_W, Apr 2026
A very fun experience! Its a great way to see a lot of sites and get some history from your guide. Our guide was very friendly and knew a lot about the history of Paris and showed us sites we wouldn't have been able to see with those big bus tours.
Amanda_D, Apr 2026
It was a wonderful experience. Addie was simply amazing. She made sure our sons learned about the works of Art and made it fun for them. They are still bringing up things they learned. The museum was packed but it didn’t feel that way. We got to skip the line, use private bathrooms and elevators. This tour was worth every penny.
Kelli_W, Mar 2026
Great tour with a very lively and fun guide! Best way to see Paris if you only have a limited amount of time.
Kirit_S, Mar 2026
Wow! My mom and I decided to book this tour on a whim and it did not disappoint. Our guide was lovely and gave us options for routes. He was very informative and friendly. Would definitely go again!
Christine_B, Mar 2026
Highly recommend! This was our first activity after arriving in Paris. Great way to see the city. We went in mid March, in the morning. I was worried we’d be cold but between the excitement of the ride and blankets for those in the sidebars it wasn’t a second thought!

Amazing, unique experience, tearing up the streets of Paris in a sidecar, with great guides who made out even better
Ricky_S, Jan 2026
We were really excited to do a motorcycle sidecar tour in Paris, especially since it was our first time visiting the city. We had already spent some time exploring Paris on foot before our 10:00 a.m. tour, so we were looking forward to seeing the city from a different perspective.
When we met our guide, Gio, he pulled out a map and asked what major sites we had already seen and whether there was anything specific we wanted to focus on or skip. We told him we were open to seeing as much of the city as possible and mentioned that we had already visited some of the major landmarks.
The tour itself was a lot of fun and a very unique way to experience Paris. Riding through local streets, navigating traffic, and circling the Arc de Triomphe on a motorcycle sidecar was exciting and memorable. Gio was a very entertaining and personable guide who clearly knows the city well.
That said, by the end of the tour, we felt that we hadn’t actually seen many major sights. The experience leaned more toward an insider’s look at local streets, government buildings, and lesser-known areas rather than a highlights tour of iconic Paris landmarks. We did pass by the Tomb of Napoleon and the military training building, and at the end of the tour, Gio kindly accommodated our request to stop for a photo with the Eiffel Tower in the background, which we appreciated.
Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience—especially traveling through Paris on a motorcycle, even on a cold day. In hindsight, there may have been a misunderstanding about our expectations. If we were to do it again, we would be more specific about wanting to see more of the major tourist sites rather than focusing as much on local or behind-the-scenes areas.
I would recommend this tour to travelers looking for a unique, adventurous, and more local perspective of Paris, and I’d suggest clearly communicating your sightseeing priorities upfront to make the most of the experience.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hello,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the sidecar experience and your time with Gio! Discovering Paris this way is meant to be fun, immersive, and a little adventurous.
You are absolutely right about one key point: the success of the tour really depends on the exchange at the start. Our drivers adapt the route based on what guests have already seen and what they wish to focus on. In your case, since you had already visited several major landmarks, Gio naturally leaned toward a more local and behind-the-scenes perspective, thinking it would offer you something different.
We’re glad he was able to adjust at the end and make time for a photo stop with the Eiffel Tower, and we truly appreciate your feedback. It’s a great reminder for us , and our gustes, of how important it is to clearly share sightseeing priorities when time is limited.
Thank you again for your kind words and your honest perspective. We would be delighted to welcome you again for a tour even more closely matched to your wishes.

Wonderful way to see the city on the motorcycle. Would definitely recommend. This was my second time doing this type of your and love to do at night to see city all lit up at the holidays!! Driver Timothee was very friendly and was great at k owing the best way to see what we wanted to see.

Don’t put a child on the back of the motorcycle. You gotta hold on!!!! Rick was a terrific guide. Really fun way to feel
Part of Paris. Unusual views of Eiffel Tower
Whitney_K, Oct 2025
This was beyond fun and such a great way to see the highlights of Paris. We had Michael and Emmanuel and they were knowledgeable and very friendly. We took my 9 year-old son, and Michael made it feel very safe.
Gina_L, Oct 2025
Simply put….This was AMAZING!
Start to finish, this was an experience beyond compare and was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris! Our driver Michael could not have been nicer, as he mapped out a custom ride to hit the highlights in the city that we hadn’t visited yet as well as some of the lesser known “nooks and crannies” that we didn’t even know about.
Our only regret is that we didn’t book the ride earlier in our trip so that we could take advantage of more of the recommendations that he made for restaurants and visited some of the areas that we learned about along the way. And of course it would have been nicer if we had booked a longer ride, but the evening trip around the city topped off with a glass of champagne at the foot of the Eiffel Tower is a memory that neither my husband or I will ever forget!
I simply cannot recommend this ride or our driver Michael enough….five stars!!
Jennifer_Q, Oct 2025
On time. Friendly. Informative. Responsive to every request. Great guide. Knew way around without a GPS. Felt perfectly safe. Very responsible driver and will recommend to friends traveling abroad.
Jeff_N, Oct 2025
This is a great fun way to see the sites of Paris. We had two bikes for a family of 4. Our guides were very nice and made the experience great. I would recommend to anyone for their visit to Paris.
