You must try this! - We did the 1 hour tour as a family of 4 we had 2 adults on the back of the bikes and 2 very happy kids (10 and 7) in the sidecars.
I honestly think this is one of the best things we’ve ever done, it was so fun and an amazing way to see the city. Our guides also set up the most special photos of the Eiffel Tower too.
Our guides were kind, informative and fun.
We can’t wait to return to Paris and do it again.
Thank you.

Fantastic Motorbike and Sidecar Tour in Paris - We had a fantastic tour guide Greg who was very knowledgeable and so warm and friendly! We felt safe and comfortable and really enjoyed seeing the lovely sights of Paris from the motorbike and sidecar! What an experience. Greg lined up some great photo opportunities for us and went above and beyond to get those great shots. The tour lasted an hour. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent experience - The experience with the bike was great, despite the weather. We saw a lot of things: the big palace, the small palace, the House of Gainsbourg, Eiffel Tower, the Invalides, Place de la Concorde. It allowed us to have a good impression of this district of Paris.

Paris in a sidecar - What is not fun about travelling around Paris in a sidecar. We had a drizzly day with rain at times but it was still a fun and different experience. We had seen Paris on foot before so this adventure took in the main sights from a different and fun aspect.

A Unique, Fun & Educational Way to See Paris! - We absolutely loved our Retro Tour Paris experience! Riding through the city in a vintage sidecar was such a fun and original way to explore Paris — we saw so many iconic spots from a completely new perspective. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting historical facts and hidden gems along the way.
It was the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and sightseeing — with plenty of laughs and great photo opportunities! Whether it’s your first time in Paris or you’ve been before, this tour is a must. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and stylish Parisian experience! 🛵💨🇫🇷
Also, thank you Greg for the restaurant tip, it was delicious and we will definitely go back!!! @acasaluna 👌🏼

Great experience for first day in Paris! - Great experience zipping around Paris on our first day! Alain and Grégoire were wonderful guides! They adapted to the weather and traffic of the moment so that we could cover a lot of ground and get a lay of the land. Great way to kick off first trip to Paris when you are jet lagged a bit.

Do this! - It was so much fun! They planned the route to avoid traffic and to take you to areas you may not have seen. The drivers were fun and told us about a lot of neighborhoods and sights. Well worth doing!

You Chariot Awaits.... - We had been looking forward to this tour and we were not disappointed! We were picked up on time from our hotel and returned safely after. I was comfortable in the sidecar despite having mobility issues. Our two hour tour took in The Louvre, Moulin Rouge, Montmartre village and Sacre Coeur before returning via Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees and Invalides.
Michael, our "Charioteer", was a skilful driver and informative guide, He knew all the best places to park up for the best tourist landmark photos.
The ride through the Paris traffic could best be described as exhilarating. Altogether an excellent experience and worth every penny.

Fun and exciting way to tour Paris! - Five Stars, one of the best tours and experience that me and my wife have ever had together. Our driver, Gion was passionate about our tour experience and made sure he understood what we wanted to see together. On the day of our ride, there was light rain but we were provided rain ponchos to wear. Despite the occasional rain, mother nature could not damper our spirits nor the sheer joy of exploring the city by motorcycle. This tour was our highlight of our trip and we can't wait to take another trip with Retro Tours! If you do nothing else in Paris, book this tour for an experience you will always remember!
