An awesome experience and an incredible way to see Paris. I would highly recommend a sidecar tour for anyone. The tour was beyond my expectations.

Very nice experience! Very friendly Guy :)
Probably the best way to see Paris! Simon (the owner) is not only the physical embodiment of hospitable tourism, he’s also a total dreamboat 😍. Every thing was super easy from booking to meeting up, and the staff are AMAZING, we got really lucky with the weather, but even if it’s cold or rainy they have all the gear necessary to keep you toasty as a fresh pain au chocolate! SUCH a GREAT way to see Paris! Plus you kind of feel like a star because everyone smiles and waves at motorcycle sidecars 🤩
This tour is SO cool!! We had 3 adults and two 10 year old girls, who absolutely loved it! Our tour guides were super knowledgeable and accommodating. My adult son had a broken leg, with a knee scooter. Someone picking it up at the meeting point, and walked it to the Eiffel Tower, because that’s where we wanted to be dropped off. If you’re going to Paris, you need to do this! You won’t be disappointed.
Fidel and his friend were amazing. The team was on time and, very kind and very polite. They took us around Paris and told us known and some unknown stories of each place we visited. Fidel also took amazing pictures of my family at each site. Also recommended places to eat and things to do while in Paris. My family had an amazing time on this tour and it will be the highlight of our trip here in Paris. Thank you for sharing about your beautiful city
This was hands down the best outing we took during our time in Paris - we got a behind the scenes look at the city that we would never have been able to do on our own. Even the teenagers were impressed! Our tour guides Steven & Batiste were very knowledgeable and took us through some of the lesser known areas, even pulling over so that my son could get a crepe :) Highly recommend this tour!
This was our the kick-off to our first morning in Paris. Four of us (two adults, two kids, 9 and 13). It was absolutely fantastic. Not only would I recommend it, I could certainly have kept going beyond the two hours. Simon and Fidel were fun, incredibly knowledgeable and informative and so personable. Our time spent with you was so perfect. Merci beaucoup. Mille fois.
We took our parents (in their mid 80s) on this tour. The guides were so great and prepared for anything that traffic and pouring rain only made the experience more fun and memorable. Wonderful experience!
Last minute we decided to book a tour and we are so glad we did! Communications were clear and complete and the tour was amazing. Our tour guide was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and very flexible with what we wanted to see - he added so much color, context, and history to the landmarks - we can’t say enough good things about him. Absolutely a highlight of our trip and we’d highly recommend it!
This was so much fun and a must do in Paris!!! I would highly recommend this experience! Tour guides were excellent!!
Highly recommend - great intro to the city and many areas. Our drivers were very accommodating - even when dealing with multiple road closures due to Paralympic Games. We saw some familiar sites and some we never knew existed. We got some great history lessons and covered so much area in a short time.
What a wonderful experience !!!!! Took our 5 teenagers on this tour during a weekend in Paris - they absolutely loved it !!!! The team from Txanga were fantastic and the bikes and the safety equipment (helmet, gloves) were very nice and new !!!!! Highly recommend!!!!
Tour with Fidel and Praveen was terrific. It was a blast to drive around on the scooter/sidecar. Lots of looks from people driving, sitting at cafes and pedestrians - people waving. I felt like a celebrity! Would highly recommend as a fun way to see some of the city. Thanks Fidel and Praveen!
I booked a sidecar trip for our family on a Sunday morning from our apartment. Simon (owner) communicated via email with lots of tips and restaurant recommendations and kindly put together a bespoke trip for our 2 hour experience as we had done some sights but not others. Having ticked off a few things by foot the day before, we were all happy to hop on the back of a motorbike or in the side car. It was a fantastic, relaxing way to take in all the Parisian architecture and various areas whilst being chauffeured in the open air. We all loved it. The kids (ages 13 and 12) loved the novelty and even enjoyed the historic sights and Simon’s knowledgable descriptions of monuments and their historic significance. Simon and Jean (driver no2) picked us up from our apartment at 9am and welcomed us with croissants and pain au chocolates! Very thoughtful and much appreciated! If you are considering booking one of these tours or a bespoke one, do it. It’s not the cheapest way to get around the city but it’s an experience to remember and lots of fun!
The ParisTxango motorbike trip was absolutely amazing. Praveen and Fidel were such good hosts and the whole experience was such good fun. They were professional, friendly and very knowledgeable and whizzed us around Paris. When booking the tour Simon was so helpful and always replied promptly to my queries. We will book another trip next time we are in Paris and we would definitely recommend.
The night tour was a highlight of our trip! Simon was flexible, asked what we wanted to see the most, and had great historical knowledge of every stop. I cannot recommend this tour enough to anyone wanting a unique way to see the city. Thank you so very much for helping us make memories!
You really haven’t toured Paris the right way if you don’t book Simon! This tour was AMAZING. Idk what was better…the photos, the history, the top notch customer service??? All I’m gonna say is BOOK NOW! I felt like I was on an episode of Sex in the city.
Simon was AMAZING!!! Took THE BEST PHOTOS and had all the history. So friendly and even took me to get a delicious croissant. A must do!!!
Wonderful tour! So fun to see Paris in a sidecar. Our guides where so fun and professional. Highly recommended
Outstanding way to see Paris. Besides being so much fun, our guide was so knowledgeable and had many interesting side stories to tell. Memorable experience.
This was an amazing tour. Our guide was very safe and prepared for the downpour we encountered. He gave us plenty of time at each Stop for photos. He had a lot of background knowledge of each location. It was really fun.
Such a great experience! Had the best time, and such a convenient and cool way to see Paris. If you have limited time, and want to see the sights and learn the history, would highly recommend.
SImon was very helpful during the booking process - answering many questions in advance. Praveen and Fidel were great guides. We travelled from California and booked the Monument tour for our first afternoon. Although we were quite tired, it was a great way to see Paris, while exerting less energy for Day 1. Would recommend highly!
This was the absolute most fun way to get an overview of the monuments. My family had a blast. Felipe and Praveen were excellent tour guides. I was nervous about putting my kids in the sidecars but they were excellent drivers and navigated the Paris streets with skill and safety. They adjusted the tour for us to go to an ice cream stop in there too. This was a highlight of our trip. I only wish I did it in the beginning of the trip. I would suggest to do it up front for a good overview!
Simon and his team were welcoming and super easy to work with from start to finish. Very knowledgeable about the history at each stop. We loved our tour!
This was a highlight of our trip to Paris!. Simon, Fidel, and Praveen are so personable and knowledgable and helped us create amazing family memories for our family of five. It was the perfect mix of fun and education about some of the most beautiful monuments in Paris. I highly recommend this tour - so worth it!
My wife and I just completed an amazing monument tour with Fidel. Two hours of zipping around Paris seeing everything! He’s a great person and guide! Highly recommend this tour.
Wow. My Paris Highlights tour with Fidel was incredible. To travel around the historic spaces of Paris by sidecar is a thrill that it is hard to top. My guide was really helpful and so informative, sharing all those little histories you only get on a personal tour. So much to say it's hard to describe how great this tour is. It's cool, it is informative and it's unique. An absolute pleasure. I lost my Dad earlier in the year, and he was really into historic motorbikes. I took the tour on Father's Day to remember him, and it was the perfect way to celebrate Dad. Thank you!
This tour was fantastic. The driver, Fidel, went above and beyond in tailoring the tour to my wishes. People were drawn to us and it was very easy to get them to photograph me. They even wanted to get in the picture!
I will start with the bottom line: THE MOST UNIQUE, FANTASTIC, INFORMATIVE WAY TO SEE PARIS!!! We had limited time in Paris so was looking for a way to see the highlights with an experienced guide while not breaking the bank. Based on a recommendation, we found Txango Tours. Going in, we didn't know what to expect. Simon, the owner of Txango Tours, was extremely responsive during the planning process. He was flexible in the itinerary due to the location of where we arrived in Paris the day of our tour. Simon also helped us with restaurant recommendations in the planning process. While in Paris, we were lucky enough to have Simon as our guide. The uniqueness of this tour is second to none. The tour is efficient and quite informative. Unlike large tour buses or cars, we were able to make our stops close to the Monuments while having GREAT photo opportunities, with a dedicated photographer to boot (your guide.) Thanks to Simon, EVERY aspect of our tour, from planning to execution, was FANTASTIC! You will not find a better way to see the sites Paris and the surrounding areas!!!
This sidecar tour has been on my bucket list for years! Today was about as close to a perfect day as I have had in a long time. Fidel knows his facts about Paris and I learned things I did not know before. Plus, we felt like such celebrities as we passed through Paris, waving and smiling to people. This might have to be a regular booking for each future trip to Paris. We asked Fidel about recommendations for lunch after our tour and he suggested a restaurant that was outstanding. No disappointments today whatsoever (other than the time went by too fast)! Thanks for everything Fidel!!
It was such an incredible ride with Txango tours! Our guide Praveen was just fantastic. He is just lovely, kind, a great photographer and a leader! He also knows his history! I also had a chance to meet Simon and Fidel and what a lovely crew they are! It was an absolute pleasure to be around them. I am now thinking about my next tour with Txango Tours!
Really fun experience and great way to get introduced to Paris. Lots of interesting anecdotes mixed in with essential facts. Definitely gets noticed with thumbs ups and smiles from passersby as you wind through the streets. A highly recommended memorable tour.
My mom & I were 1st time visitors of Paris. We booked this tour in our week long trip across France and UK, this was definitely our highlight. Simon was our guide and he we very welcoming and helpful with all questions. English was perfect, professional and full of history of each monument/place we traveled to & from. Motorcycle was comfortable and CLEAN. We provided helmets, gloves, and blankets if necessary. Our next time back to Paris, we will definitely use this company for another tour without a doubt! You are crazy to not book with Txango tours.
We loved this tour. Really fun way to see the city! Informative, fun, beautiful! Simon and Phillipe were great. Highly recommend.
We LOVED our sidecar tour with Simon. It was the first day of our trip and definitely kept the jet lag at bay. We all loved zipping around the major sites on the bikes. The kids loved being in the sidecars. Simon and Paveen had great information, history and fun stories to share at every stop. This was the highlight of our trip so far. Highly recommend this tour.
I love sidecar tours and I'm so glad I booked with Txango. Simon is a native English AND French speaker trained in teaching history. His knowledge of Paris, history, and being in the tourism industry is impressive! I also love supporting a small business that Simon is trying to build. Thanks for a great time. It was the highlight of my time in Paris!
My son Daniel and I had an amazing 2 hours with Simon. As we are regularly in Paris Simon gave us a custom tour taking in areas that we had never seen before. Simons knowledge of Paris is incredible. What struck me most was the number of people who stopped to stare, smile and point as our bike and sidecar roared past. It really is a unique way to see Paris.
Truly the most memorable part of our week in Paris! Simon knows how to make the history of Paris fun and interesting. You haven't lived until you've gone through the roundabout around the Arc de Triomphe in a sidecar (no lanes!). I highly recommend this tour and would do it again if I'm ever lucky enough to return to Paris. Thanks, Simon!
Don’t hesitate to do this! You will feel totally safe and it is the BEST way to see Paris! Simon runs a tour that is fun, teaches you history, and speaks to your particular interests. Not the same old views everyone else gets. I would jump back into that sidecar in a heartbeat!
My son and daughter-in-law gifted a monuments tour for my birthday. Simon is a great guide! Aside, the sidecar is surprisingly comfortable. I was able to stretch out my legs and it was amazingly easy to get in and out. I really appreciate Simon's personable approach and his sensitivity to what the customer is looking for. I am already planning a tour for my wife! Thanks, Simon, for a great tour. I will be recommending to my friends. Visited in June
Superb visit this Saturday with our super nice Gilmar guide. Interesting and unexpected anecdotes, 2h of pure happiness, 4 beautiful stops with incredible memories;-) To do absolutely to discover Paris otherwise. For all ages. I highly recommend it.
the tour was excellent, guide Simon was very friendly and careful. He showed us the downtown Monuments and came to find us at the Hotel. He tried hard to speak in Spanish. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much. To repeat!.
A unique and special way to discover Paris, The Sidecar is very beautiful and comfortable. Very clean helmet and gloves. The kind and prepared driver.
Super expérience, bien que Parisien nous avons appris des choses, sur les monuments de Paris. Notre pilote, Fidel, nous a conduit de mains de maitre. Nous tenions à remercier Fidel pour sa gentillesse et son professionnalisme. A très bientôt
Tour of Paris unusual and oh how inspiring, comfortably installed on the bike (silent) or in the sidecar. Fluid circuit with commented stops at the main monuments. Simon is an outstanding driver but also a great tourist guide, passionate, who reveals little secrets of history. I recommend this experience
