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!

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.

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.
Andrew_C, Nov 2025
Wonderful experience with great tour guide. Clement was friendly and knowledgeable and put together a great tour for us.

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.
Connie_P, Oct 2025
This tour was phenomenal !
Michael was kind, polite, easy to talk to, mindful of photos we wanted to take, knowledgeable about unique aspects of the city & an awesome driver who knew the streets of Paris like the backs of his hands. As we drove through the city streets we received many smiles, hand waves, photographs were taken. It seems as though the people in the streets were as happy to see us as we were to ride in such a vintage sidecar !
Alishia_H, Oct 2025
What a fun and engaging way to see the city! I would have never been able to see so many key attractions on foot. It was worth every penny!
John_N, Oct 2025
This was by far the best experience of our entire trip to Europe. Antoine was an amazing guide and driver. He took us where we wanted to go and many other places along the way. It was a wonderful and unique way to see Paris. I would highly recommend it to anyone. We did the 3-hour trip which was the perfect amount of time.
Nikki_M, Oct 2025

Candy_W, Sep 2025
Would have given it 5 stars as our tour guide was amazing. However the company didn’t notify us that they moved to tour to start 30 minutes later so we almost left.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello, Thank you so much for your kind words about your tour guide – we’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the ride!
We sincerely apologize for the late notice regarding the schedule change. Unfortunately, a last-minute issue with the previous booking forced us to adjust your departure by 30 minutes. We completely understand how this could have been inconvenient, and we’re truly sorry it wasn’t communicated to you earlier.
Your feedback is very valuable, and we’re already working to improve our communication process so this doesn’t happen again.
We hope to welcome you again for an even smoother experience!
Best regards,
Natasha_O, Sep 2025
Great tour - guide very informative - a lot of fun!
Very comfy bike & side car - would recommend as a great way to see the sites
David_H, Sep 2025
Michael was there as scheduled and was polite and invested in us having a great time. He was a pure delight. The motorbike ride was thrilling and perhaps the best way to get through traffic in Paris.
Kathleen_C, Sep 2025
One of the most fun experiences we had while in Pairs!! William, our driver, was so awesome! Super friendly and very knowledgeable about Paris!!
Got to see cool parts of Paris!
We did not want the tour to end - 1 hour goes by way too fast! Would highly recommend this while in Paris!!!
Next time I am in Paris I will do this side car tour again!
Molly_M, Sep 2025
We LOVED it. So fun to zip through the streets. Emanuel was a knowledgeable, kind, and fun guide. He showed us several hidden gems we would have walked right past - as well as some unique views which were amazing. Felt very safe. Got to see so much of the city from a different perspective. Will be signing up for this the next time we are in Paris. We were two adults, but I kept thinking my kids would have LOVED this.
Victor_L, Sep 2025
Lots of fun. We had been in Paris for a week 3 years ago, so, had visited most of the sights. This ride also brought us to places we had not seen before.
Mollie_B, Sep 2025
What a fun way to see Paris! Our guide was very nice and well informed about all sights and secret places with the best views of the city. The 90 minute tour went by so quickly, I could have done two in a row. Book this, you won’t be disappointed.
Catherine_H, Sep 2025
It was a wonderful experience, being driven around the beautiful sites of Paris, max the tour guide driver was great, very professional and we felt very safe at all times , great photos taken I'd highly recommend this tour

**Review: Paris Private Flexible Duration Guided Tour on a Vintage Sidecar**
I had an amazing experience on the vintage sidecar tour in Paris! The flexible itinerary allowed us to customize our route based on our interests. Our guide was fantastic, sharing intriguing stories about landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre. The ride was comfortable and stylish, with unforgettable views. It’s a perfect way to explore Paris uniquely. Highly recommended! Our driver Emmanuel was great! Highly recommend!
Gracie_S, Aug 2025
This is a wonderful way to introduce yourself or your friends to Paris. Seeing it by night is spectacular even if you have been here many times like I have but it was the perfect way to introduce my cousin to “The City of Lights.” Our driver Pietro’s was delightful and so informative! I recommend this tour to everyone. You won’t be disappointed! Especially if you are lucky enough to get Pietro! His English was very good and he offered to tailor the tour to our specific interests, which was of course everything! The view from Montmartre and the Sacre Cour at night was spectacular!
Michelle_M, Aug 2025
Michael was the most amazing tour guide. He took us to the most fabulous places to take pictures. The side car is an up close and personal way to see Paris!! Highly recommend!!
George_C, Aug 2025
This tour and experience was awesome and the most fun thing we did in Paris! We had 5 in our group so three motorcycle with side cars and three drivers. All drivers were so nice, friendly, engaging, flexible, told us of many things we were seeing along the way. They first asked where we had been in Paris and asked where we wanted to go. We took their suggestion to go to areas we had not yet been, and it was so great! Fun seeing expressions of lot of tourists as they watched us driving around. A lot of kids telling parents, “I want to do that.” I would highly recommend this tour experience and it was such a blast. I hope the three drivers we had can be given this review to see. All three drivers were fabulous!
Rohit_S, Aug 2025
Thierry and Jordan showed us Paris in a way we could have never imagined. Riding on the back of a motorcycle and in the sidecars, our family covered all large swath of Paris in 3.5 hours, including neighborhoods that tourists would never go to. The highlight was going up and down the narrow streets of Montmartre ending up at the Sacre de Coeur.
Judith_M, Aug 2025
We had the best time on this tour. It was a fab way to see Paris and we would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do something different. Martin was a fabulous tour guide, fully of knowledge.
