Awesome fun! - This is the best thing we've ever done on a city break. Our drivers were amazing and chatty - full of interesting information about Paris. Aside from being informative it was also great fun. We all had cramp in our faces when we finished from the amount of smiling we did. It was over all too soon but we are still talking about it now.

Unique Experience Not to Miss - From the start, Martin and Alan made our trip memorable. They met us at the hotel and, after a quick safety overview, asked us what we wanted to see. My daughter was a little nervous about the sidecar and both of them were patient and cheerful as they helped her get comfortable (fast forward: She loved it!). Whether you are in the sidecar or on the back of the bike, you will have some amazing and very unique perspectives on the city. In addition, both Alan and Martin were exceptional guides - in addition to know the streets, they talk us about the history of various locations and pointed out some hidden gems.

HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP!! - RetroTour Paris Motorcycle Ride – AMAZING!!!! They came to our hotel to pick us up for 5pm and we chose the ‘Great Escape Tour’ – there were 2 routes to choose from – Montmartre or the Eiffel Tower (which we chose). It was a little chilly (November), but you do get goggles, helmet, gloves, and the side car had a blanket. My husband and I switched mid-ride so we could both experience the side car (totally fun to ride in a side car!). Our guide (I hate that I can't remember his name - I think it was Max/Mike/Martin) drove us around and showed talked to us about some key historical spots, and took us to a wonderful photo op of the Eiffel tower at night! He timed it so perfectly so that when we arrived, the Eiffel tower started with a sparkling light display that they do on the hour! It was a definite highlight of our trip! At the end we asked hour driver to recommend an authentic creperie and he dropped us off at a local favourite – ‘Le Petit Josselin’ in Montparnasse which was delicious! I highly recommend this tour - especially at the beginning of your trip - as it's a great way to get a feel of the city and quickly see the different neighbourhoods that you may want to explore more!
