Retro Tour Paris, sidecar tours — Local services in Paris

Where do we even begin to describe how absolutely incredible our experience was with Retro Tour Paris? We booked the 5pm tour on a Saturday, and although we were initially a bit nervous about navigating the city’s traffic, those concerns quickly melted away. The tour turned out to be one of the most exhilarating highlights of our trip to Paris!

From the moment we met our rider, the amazing Peter, we knew we were in good hands. Not only is Peter exceptionally knowledgeable about the city’s history, landmarks, and hidden gems, but he’s also just a genuinely kind, warm, and engaging person. He instantly made us feel welcome, safe, and at ease — especially our 11-year-old son, who can sometimes be shy around new people. Peter’s gentle and friendly approach made all the difference, and by the end of the tour, our son was beaming from the whole experience.

The vintage motorbike and sidecar added a wonderfully nostalgic charm to the whole experience. Cruising through the streets of Paris — past the Eiffel Tower, along the Seine, and through the charming backstreets — with the wind in our hair was nothing short of magical.

We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Retro Tour to anyone visiting Paris — whether it’s your first time or your tenth. It’s a magnificent way to fall in love with the city all over again.

Merci, Retro Tour - and a huge special thank you to Peter! You gave us a memory we’ll cherish...

We enjoyed a 90 minute tour on 13th March. It was brilliant! We were collected outside our hotel by our driver Alan, who was very attentive and knowledgeable. I rode in the sidecar whilst my husband rode pillion. Great experience - even supplied gloves, sunglasses and a warm blanket! Our driver was great at navigating the paris traffic.... it was exciting but felt completely safe. Alan tailored the tour to suit our needs and he knew all the best places for photo stops etc. He told us about all the landmarks and buildings along the way and even recommended a cafe near the Louvre, where he dropped us off for our visit. We would highly recommend this brilliant experience - the perfect way to see the beautiful sights of Paris. It will put a smile...

My daughter and I took a Retro Tour of Paris in Sep 2021 and absolutely loved it. Our Master of Tours, Julien pointed out and stopped at so many unique and off the beaten path historical sites that most tourists never get to see or hear about. We even had photo opportunities to capture the moments.

We met our guide at the requested location with plenty of time for safety briefing, tour expectations and equipment familiarization. Julien was very cordial and answered any and all of our questions. Julien put our safety first and ensured we enjoyed our tour.

We'll be back in Paris again in April 2022 and will definitely take another Retro Tours excursion if time permits. Thank you Julien and Retro Tour Paris team for providing us...
