Our Vintage Sidecar Tours

Our family had an absolutely wonderful experience touring Paris with Txango Tours on their sidecar motorcycle monument tour. Seeing the city’s famous monuments from a motorcycle has such energy. Instead of sitting in traffic on a bus, you are moving through the rhythm of Paris while still feeling comfortable and secure in the sidecar.

Simon and his team were incredibly welcoming, organized, and fun. They made everything seamless and shared interesting stories as we rode past some of Paris’s most iconic monuments, including beautiful views throughout the city.

Traveling with teenagers can sometimes make it difficult to choose activities everyone enjoys, but this was the clear highlight of our trip. Our teenage children said it was the most fun experience of our entire eight-day vacation, which says everything.

Riding through Paris in a sidecar, feeling the breeze and seeing the city from such an exciting perspective, made the experience unforgettable.

If you are visiting Paris with family, especially with teenagers, I cannot recommend Txango Tours highly enough. A fantastic experience and a wonderful crew.

YES, all of our guides are experienced motorcyclists and trained sidecar pilots.

On the back of each motorcycle is an additional backrest to keep the motorcycle passenger feeling snug and secure.
