Overall, I was a little disappointed with the experience. The tour was advertised as approximately 1.5 hours, but my ride lasted only around 1 hour. We also made only two actual stops — one at the Eiffel Tower and one at the Arc de Triomphe — while the rest of the tour was essentially driving past the different landmarks. Rafael did give me some brief historical information about the places we passed, which was nice, but the overall experience felt more like a quick ride through Paris rather than a proper sightseeing tour. We mostly zipped past the landmarks without really having the opportunity to take them in or stop and experience them. The sidecar itself was fun and definitely a unique way to see Paris, but given the advertised duration and the price, I expected a more immersive experience with a little more time at the key sights.

The Pont des Arts, a pedestrian bridge over the Seine, is known for its romantic atmosphere and its history of lovers placing locks on its railings. It offers one of the best views of the Louvre and Institut de France.
Once a royal palace, the Conciergerie became infamous as a prison during the French Revolution, where Marie Antoinette awaited execution. Its medieval Gothic architecture sits prominently on the Île de la Cité.

Our tour guide was amazing!! He was very funny but also showed us around and told us all about his hometown! The sidecar was also very fun, reminds me of Mario kart..
It was so much fun and our guide was prompt and amazing! Would recommend it as a great way to tour the city!
Raphaël Was an AMAZING guide ! His knowledge was so insightful and the tour itself was an amazing introduction to the city - I was able to see so many sights on my first night - and get a sense of where things are in the city. He was flexible with stopping and was open to any additional requests - HIGHLY recommend this tour ! It was an experience I’ll never forget
100% best way to explore Paris! We had an amazing time with our host Rapahel! He was informative, funny and made the experience so inclusive. Will definitely recommend
I did this experience yesterday and it was amazing. Rafael was a great host and was able to cater the trip to my wife and I wanted to see. His motorcycle inside car were extremely safe and he provided helmets for us to wear. He picked us up from our hotel and drove around the city showing us some great hidden gems. Seeing Paris this way was the highlight of our trip. Don’t sleep on this experience and sign up now!
My teenage daughter and I had a great time in this tour. Raphael was a great guide. He was very entertaining and pointed out interesting information about each of the sites. Would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.
We were fortunate to have Raphael as our tour guide and driver for the Wild Side sidecar tour. The two of us each took turns riding in the sidecar while the other rode on the bike behind Raphael (a native Parisian) who navigated the city without the need for GPS. He expertly showed us the iconic highlights of the city and its neighborhoods from a local perspective. He was kind to take many incredible photos of us. The tour began at 8:30 pm and lasted two hours. The light in Paris at sunset and after makes it even more beautiful. I highly recommend this tour.
Amazing experience! Such a great driver. We had an amazing time! The guide gave really amazing fun facts about Paris ! Thank you 🤩
Raphael was very friendly and informative. The tour was a lot of fun. There were two of us and we took turns in the side car. Highly recommended!
The tour was a blast! We’d do it again if we came back to Paris. Having your own personal guide, being picked up at your hotel was a perfect way to start the day. We were able to be flexible with what we saw and learned a lot of history behind many of the major monuments and historical buildings. We felt safe and comfortable during the entire tour as we drove within the Paris traffic. Then instead of being dropped off back at the hotel, we were able to be dropped off where we wanted to continue our journey for the day. That was a bonus. Thank you!
I traveled with 3 ladies, all over 60. They thought the Sidecar ride was one of the best experiences. AND we went the Louvre and the top of the Eiffel Tower. The trip took us down narrow streets, the all the city highlights and more. These lads know the city and drive very safely. Highly recommend these two. There others but these were outstanding.
Amazing views and very knowledgeable tour guide. The ride itself is very fun and enjoyable. We learned a lot! It was a great time!
The sidecar experience is a cool way to see Paris- highly recommend A+A+A+ The quide was fun, knowledgeable Very safe and comfortable
Such a fun way to explore Paris! Rafael was a great guide, so friendly and keen to show us the spots we wanted to see. Highly recommend!!
I had the best time ever! Thank you Raphael! You made our 24 hour Paris trip amazing! Took us everywhere! We had a blast! Made me want to come back to Paris to stay longer
Very informative. Lovely guide and very knowledgeable. Great experience. Would definitely recommend. Paris is very interesting city and this was a different and interesting way to see it. Picked us up exactly on time and dropped us off where we wanted.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Paris Adventure! My sidecar motorcycle tour with Rafael was absolutely magical! From the moment we started, I knew this would be a special experience. The weather was perfect - sunny with a light breeze that made cruising through the Parisian streets feel like floating through a dream. Rafael was not just a guide but a storyteller who brought the city to life. His knowledge of Paris was impressive, and his passion for the city was contagious. The vintage sidecar added such a unique charm to the experience - people were snapping photos of us everywhere we went! The route was perfectly planned. We glided past the majestic Eiffel Tower, where Rafael knew exactly where to stop for the most spectacular views without the usual tourist crowds. Along the Seine River, we enjoyed breathtaking vistas of the water glistening in the sunlight, with historic bridges creating perfect photo opportunities. We visited all the important landmarks - Notre Dame, the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, and Montmartre - but from perspectives I would never have discovered on my own. The narrow streets of Le Marais and the hidden courtyards we zipped through gave me a glimpse of the authentic Paris that most tourists miss. What made this tour truly special was the feeling of freedom combined with luxury. The wind in my hair, the sounds and scents of Paris all around, yet with the comfort and personal attention that made me feel like a VIP. If you’re looking for an extraordinary way to experience Paris, this sidecar tour is absolutely worth every euro. It was hands down the highlight of my trip - an adventure I’ll be talking about for years to come!
Excellent Experience and a very friendly and knowledgeable Guide. We could only recommend to book this special experience once you are in Paris
Rafael was a wonderful guide who shared the history of Paris with us. He was very accommodating and stopped along the way for pictures at various sites. Has a great time and would recommend this tour.
Everything about this experience exceeded my expectations! Raphael was an amazing tour guide - as well as a great driver. It was my first time on a side-car, or even on a motorcycle. He made me feel safe the entire trip. He also provided me with education regarding life in Paris and Parisian history. Additionally, Raphael took the time to stop and take pictures for me during the trip. I would highly recommend this experience to others!!
What a fabulous way to see Paris. 8am on Easter Saturday and so little traffic. Raphael was an excellent guide - informative, charming (and a safe driver!). Also, I am a big fella and the sidecar had plenty of room, and gives a great perspective os the city hurtles by between some very picturesque stops. I can’t recommend the experience enough.
Raphael was fantastic guide . Really enjoyed the tour . It was safe and fun . A nice afternoon ride around Paris . Congrats on the coming baby boy !
I booked two separate side‑car bikes months in advance for two people—each bike clearly holds 1–2 passengers at the same flat rate. Your website won’t even let you reserve two riders per bike, so there was zero ambiguity. Here’s what happened: • Preplanned “Emergency” Extortion: Less than 24 hours before our tour, the driver called claiming a prepared emergency and then demanded extra payment to use two bikes. • Illegal Up‑charge: He insisted we pay for four confirmed seats despite having already paid in full for two bikes. • Instant Cancellation: When I refused to be extorted, he canceled both reservations on the spot—leaving me stranded in Paris with no backup options. This tour was the reason we came here. This wasn’t a glitch—it was criminal extortion and a blatant breach of contract. I flew across the world for this experience, only to be threatened and left without the tour I paid for. Bottom Line: If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, avoid this company at all costs. They’ll hold you hostage, break their own rules, and ruin your trip. Beware!
Great experience for my son's birthday, and he's still talking about it ! What's more, we had forgotten something in a side car and the team found it and returned it to us !
It was so much fun! An excellent way to see the city. Our driver/guide was Raphael, and he couldn’t have been better. He took us to all the sites on the left Bank, including a stop at the Eiffel Tower for a photo session. What a delight! 10/10
Very fun! The best experience and much better photos! Raphael (driver) the kindest and most knowledgeable!! I highly recommend it!!!
Great visit in Paris with a very nice and funny guide! Great experience for a moment of style with a driver matching the sidecar!!
Honestly a fabulous experience with my girlfriend, I discovered parts of Paris that I didn’t even know about, I highly recommend you to go there. It is a unique experience.
Paris by sidecar? I loved every minute: the atmosphere, the freedom, the little secret streets, and especially our guide Raphael.
We took a sidecar ride in Paris with Raphaël and it was great! there were two of us, one in the basket, the other behind him, and we changed along the way. He took us to see all the great classics (eiffel tower, triumphal arch...) and even more secret corners. Super nice, he also offered us a coffee in a too cool place. Thank you Raphael for this great time!
Excellent experience! I recommend 100% living it. It is fun, you know amazing points of Paris, opportunity to have some unique photos!
The guide was passionate, we really rediscover the city from another angle (an appreciable detail: he kindly dropped us off just where it suited us for the rest of our day).
We had a great time with Raphael who is very friendly. We very much enjoyed the anecdotes about our lady. It was a fantastic experience to live as a duo! Thank you again.
