About this tour
Explore Bordeaux's landmarks and hidden corners from a vintage sidecar over three hours, guided by a local enthusiast who shares the city's stories. You'll rotate between the sidecar basket and the pilot's seat, stopping freely for photographs whilst sampling local wines and regional bites. It's an unconventional way to discover both celebrated monuments and neighbourhoods tourists rarely find.
Highlights
- Vintage sidecar ride through Bordeaux streets and backroads
- Wine and local food tastings whilst touring
- Swap seats between basket and pilot position as you wish
- Off-the-beaten-path spots beyond guidebook attractions
- Private guide commentary on regional history and culture
- Photo stops whenever you'd like to pause
What to expect
You'll be paired with your pilot in a single sidecar (or two if you're a larger group). One of you sits in the low basket at the front, the other behind the pilot—you can trade places mid-tour. Expect a leisurely pace with frequent stops for pictures and conversation. Your guide weaves together Bordeaux's heritage with personal knowledge of quieter squares, lanes, and viewpoints most visitors skip. Between photo breaks, you'll sample local wines and nibbles, turning the ride into an informal tasting tour on wheels.
