WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Place de la Concorde
Your tour begins with either hotel pickup or by meeting your driver-guide at Place de la Concorde, depending on option selected when booking. Hop aboard your vintage motorcycle sidecar, and take off on three wheels, letting your guide worry about navigating Paris traffic. Ride in style past the city's iconic monuments and along some of the most prestigious avenues in the world. You'll journey back in time as you discover Paris’ lesser-known heritage through small streets and back alleys. Your guide provides entertaining and often ‘saucy’ anecdotes for each secret place you ride past. When booking, there are four different tours to choose from to suit your interests. Retro Classic Tour: Take a 40-minute ride across Paris, passing by the main sights. See Avenue Champs-Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Champs de Mars, and Les Invalides. Note: This tour does not include hotel pickup and drop-off. Great Escape Tour: This 1.5-hour ride is the ideal way to truly enjoy the charm of the French capital. Take your time and let yourself be taken in by the knowledge and experience of your driver-guide, who brings to life the scenes in front of you. There are three tour themes/locations to choose from: Bohemian Paris, Ile de la Cité, or the Latin Quarter. Retro by Night Tour: This 1.5-hour ride allows you to soak up the romance and magic of the City of Light. See Paris under the stars and by the glow of street lamps, with no vehicle roof or window to spoil the view. This is an experience not to be missed by romancers, libertines, or boulevardiers. Your courteous driver provides an intimate tour, including a glass of Champagne in front of the Eiffel Tower and several photo stops to catch beautiful moments. Half-Day or Full-Day Tailor-Made Tour: Customize your tour entirely. Select either the 3.5-hour or 7-hour tour, with a driver-guide at your service to adapt the stops and themes to your tastes, be it shopping, history, gastronomy, or something else. The full-day tour is highly recommended to give you a complete experience of Paris and its surroundings. You can enjoy a rich experience to major attractions such as the Basilica of St-Denis, Versailles, or the village of Giverny, home to Claude Monet's house and gardens. Please note: If you wish to book more than one vehicle, you will have to make a second reservation on this page.

My friend & I did the 3 1/2 hour tour. It was very fun. We had enough time to pretty much see all of Paris & make a few stops. Our guide was Leo & he was very friendly & told us a lot about Paris.

My girlfriend and I had an unforgettable tour our first day in Paris with Emmanuel as our guide! He gave us a couple of options on where we could go and showed us everything plus some hidden spots along the way. It felt like we were flying through the streets and the tour was a wonderful way to see the city sights at sunset. A Parisian born and raised, Emmanuel also had a lot of great history to share about his city Paris and was an incredible driver! Easily the highlight of our trip from the start! Only forewarning I would give is to beware that the traffic gets pretty bad from 4-6 so book a tour either earlier or later, and book at least an hour and a half long tour. It was the perfect length for us

We were forced to reschedule because they weren't open during the ticketed time. Confusion of the day of which to reschedule so I tried to force our schedule for their convenience. On the actual day/time it worked for the company, it was raining. I was so sick of the hassle and messaging I gave up.

There are *not* enough stars to review our experience of a custom itinerary afternoon tour with Gregoire! He was a truly engaging host for our all too brief a stay in La Ville Lumière! We prearranged our route to make a few stops that were important to us, and then spent the rest of our time crawling through Montmartre, where we ended up finding a lovely place to eat on his recommendation. Gregoire + sidecar = the very best of Paris! Strongly recommend a custom route as a great way to efficiently get around, seeing what you need to see, while benefiting from great local knowledge and hospitality. A totally unique and incomparable experience, vraiment :)

This was one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had! There were five family members going so we had three motorcycles. All three drivers were incredible- so funny, kind, and knowledgeable. If you are thinking about booking this tour, don’t hesitate! It was honestly the highlight of our trip.

I booked the 40 minute tour from La Tour Marbourg. Alain was punctual, polite and an excellent guide. Most of all, it was so much fun riding in the sidecar down the Champs Elysees. Would recommend for anyone with a sense of adventure looking for a different experience of Paris.

The 6 of us had a fantastic tour in 3 side cars. Not only did we see wonderful sights, we had great commentary and stories, and the amazing thrill of moving through the Paris traffic and streets on these great bikes.

Eric was a great tour guide and this was a perfect way to see Paris on a limited schedule. You don't appreciate the significance of scale until you see it in motion. The architecture is brilliant and in the middle of Paris lies a 2,000 year-old coliseum that once seated 15,000 people. It was discovered in 1870. Our guide showed us this relatively unknown piece of history.
