3.Paris Vintage Sidecar Premium & Private Half-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19 reviews · 2 hours Top rated

Ride through Paris in a vintage motorcycle sidecar with a private French or English-speaking guide. Visit the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Montmartre, Moulin Rouge, Notre Dame, and lesser-known streets, with hotel pickup, photo stops, and local tips from guides such as Alan, Aristide, and William.

“Fantastic! A truly memorable and unique way to get our first experience and view of Paris. Our guide, Alan, was outstanding. So authentic and knowledgeable and welcoming. Took us everywhere we wanted to go and to many we never knew about, through little side streets and hidden gems you would never find except by accident. Travelling along the Champs-Élysées around the Arc de Triomphe in this vintage sidecar motorbike was unforgettable. Thank you Alan for making this the highlight of our Paris adventure.”
