Side Car Rendezvous! - What an incredible experience!!! So much fun to see Paris via a side car! He stopped and took our picture in front to the Eiffel Tower! He was even kind enough to recommend local spots for us to try afterwards.

A Spirited, Unique Way to Tour Saint-Germaine-en-Laye and Versaille! - Visiting Paris? Spend a day our two in laid-back Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Versaille, and don't miss this tour. While my husband and I have been to both places, we craved a local's perspective and tips. Retro Tours was was a very cool way to see the cities. We went to the palace stables, by a beautiful lake, a real French market, antique shops, and more. At my request, we even stopped for a drink at a cafe. Julien was a fantastic tour guide and adjusted our tour to work around the Olympic flame, which was in both cities around the time of our tour. Say yes to this tour and you're guaranteed good vibes. I recommend touring when you first arrive to get the lay of the land. Then, you can go back and explore the places that interest you the most.

Highly highly recommend - Don’t miss this wonderful experience . My husband and I booked two cycles so we could each be in a sidecar! We were the envy of all we passed on the streets. We chose to tour through the Montmartre streets around the arc de Triumph twice!!! Getting picked up at our hotel was so easy. Guides Martine and Ari were the absolute best. Besides being knowledgeable and interesting, they were charming ambassadors for Paris.
