About this tour
Navigate Paris from an open-air vintage sidecar, seated either in the bucket or perched behind your driver-guide. Choose anywhere from 40 minutes to a full day, tailoring your route to neighbourhood lanes and heritage landmarks whilst your guide shares lesser-known stories of the city. Options extend to day trips toward Versailles or Giverny, with hotel collection and drop-off included on most bookings.

What to expect
You'll climb into either the sidecar's snug bucket seat or mount behind the driver, helmet and goggles secured. The engine rumbles to life, and Paris unfolds at an intimate pace—narrow streets and café corners reveal themselves as your guide narrates the city's quieter corners and stories. Longer tours venture beyond central Paris toward royal estates or Impressionist gardens. The wind and engine hum replace tour-bus commentary, making for a more tactile encounter with the place. You're free to swap positions mid-ride, shifting from passenger to pillion without ceremony.
Good to know
Hotel pickups apply to most durations except the 40-minute Classic Tour. Wheelchairs and service animals are accommodated. Paris traffic and weather mean layered clothing and flexibility. Reserve early for evening tours, particularly if champagne appeals.
