What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Place de la Concorde, 75008 Paris France
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.

From the moment we left our hotel on the vintage Russian motorcycle with sidecar we knew we were about to experience some magic moments. The awesome experience from beginning in the rain and starting our ride around Arc de Triomphe during peak traffic around 6pm… was crazy and exhilarating. Then up to the old sections of Paris where among others Picasso lived. Driving thru the curving cobblestone roads and lane’s which gave you a feeling of being transported in to yesteryear; making for some incredible video moments. Then up-to the monastery and church area where the views along the love padlocks wrought iron fence gave panoramic views and photo moments that are so incredible they look fake. Our tour guide/rider had excellent English and knowledge of all the regions and was friendly, engaging and we would highly recommend. This is the one tour in Paris that will be the benchmark for all other events or experiences you have during your stay in Paris. Don’t miss your opportunity.One of the greatest fun and unique experiences we have ever had travelling.Our tour guide took us around on a vintage Russian motorcycle and side car.

One of the greatest fun and unique experiences we have ever had travelling.Our tour guide took us around on a vintage Russian motorcycle and side car. His excellent english and knowledge of the areas. Take the tour ride 1, where you go to the old Paris areas instead of the main routine. The feel of the ride thru the winding paved roads thru back streets gave you the feeling of being transported back in time to the olde Paris. Life is full of regrets…. If you don’t have this experience you will definitely have a big regret
