Amazing tour. Such a fun way to see Paris! Highly recommend. Our driver took great care of us and made sure we were comfortable on the bike.
Hello Caren! Thank you for reviewing your Paris Sidecar Tour! It was great to have you!
Absolutely fantastic. Our guide Stephen was great. Showed us places we would never have found by ourselves. One of the best value for money tours we have ever been on. A truly memorable experience for my 111 year old son.
Hello Richard and thank you for your review! We're so happy you and your son had such a great time on your sidecar tour of Paris. Safe travels and all the best!
This was a fantastic tour of some of the less known pieces of Paris. Who knew there was a Roman amphitheater! Stephen was a most knowledgeable guide, a very safe driver, and a lovely person.
Thank you very much for your kind review!! Glad you enjoyed your Left Bank tour with Stephen, I will have to pass along your kind feedback to him :D Safe travels~
I had a brilliant time! My guide, Praveen, was great! So knowledgeable and kind. It was a very unique way to see beautiful Paris. Don’t miss this experience! Liz.
Hi Liz! Thank you for reviewing our sidecar tour of Paris! Praveen had a great time with you too! Safe travels and all the best.
A sidecar ride has many wonderful associations for anyone from India, like me. ( Google the song video 'Yeh Dosti' from the cult movie 'Sholay' ) And I also got to ride in one some donkeys years ago. So when I found this sidecar ride experience in Paris I booked it in advance. Special thanks to my super awesome host and storyteller - Fidel - who took me on the tour of the sights of the Left Bank of Paris since I had already visited the regular monuments prior. I enjoyed his driving, the experience of riding so close to the ground and yet feeling so perfectly safe. After checking out sights like the Pantheon, the Gardens du Luxembourg, Montparnasse and much more with stories about the immigrants, the American bistros and bars of Paris - my time flew by all too quickly. At the end of the ride Fidel had become an amazing friend. I'd love to come back and do more amazing sidecar rides with him. Thanks so much Fidel. God bless and God speed.
Thank you so much for your review of our Secrets of the Left Bank Sidecar Tour! Fidel is one of our core guides and he greatly appreciated having you on tour and leaving him such a glowing review. Making your holidays a success is an integral part of why we love what we do! Safe travels and let us know next time you're in town! Kindest regards, Simon
How do you see this amazing and expansive city with a child who actively complains about walking and tours and museums? You sign up for a motorcycle sidecar tour! It has something for everyone in the family - thrills and amusement, sightseeing and history. My family and I loved the tour, and we all took turns rotating from a sidecar to riding on the back of the bike with one of our tour guides - Praveen and Fidel. It was fun to just ride through the streets, and we also got to some places I haven’t been before, like an ancient Roman amphitheater from the 1st century. I also learned some cool history about Montparnasse, the Pantheon and Les Invalides that I hadn’t known before. I would definitely do it again - looking to book a longer tour and/or one outside of Paris to experience the bikes on (what I perceive to be) quieter country roads.
Thank you for reviewing our sidecar tour of Paris and its left bank! We all had a great time hosting you, and hope you have safe travels and come back one day!
Such a fun way to see a less touristy part of Paris! The kids loved the ride and the adults loved the history. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your kind review! glad you had a great time exploring Paris with Txango Tours! your recommendation is highly appreciated :)
Simon is a great tour guide. He looked after us very well, especially as my wife was nervous at first but he got her smiling in the end. We learnt new things we didn't know about Paris also. Recommend fun tour of Paris.
Thank you for your wonderful review! so thrilled that you and your wife enjoyed the motorcycle tour. Your recommendation is much appreciated, and we hope to see you again soon!
Txango Tours and Simon are great! This is a fun, unique and informative way to experience Paris. For those who have visited the city before, these one of a kind side car tour offers a new perspective to see the city.
Thanks so much Emily!! It was great to have you on our Secrets of the Left Bank Sidecar Tour of Paris! All the best and safe travels!
Get your motor running head out with Txango tours and owner Simon Burke who made it an easy morning ride around the streets of Paris. From the first contact online to him turning up with Praveen the number two pilot at the designated spot it was a terrific experience. The Royal Enfield bike and side car was a great way to see the city. They wove in the well documented history with snippets and anecdotes. All the time making you feel comfortable and relaxed!
Thanks, Michael, for your lovely review! Praveen and I had a blast showing you around town on our Sidecar Tour of the Left Bank of Paris! Safe travels and hope to see you around next season!
