Our Private Side Car Tours

The Madrid Txango side car tour surpassed all expectations!
My anticipation was heightened by my previous Paris experience.
Possibly my guide Raphael was helped along by divine intervention as the pope was visiting.
This led to a number of road blocks but instead of it being a hindrance it had Raphael several times having to make adjustments!
This resulted in us several times veering off down lesser streets taking in more community sights as well as the better known landmarks.
Another factor - Raphael being French born now making Madrid his home has the ability to look at one of Europe’s great cities both as a resident and also from an outside perspective.
The bike & sidecar lend itself to the experience!
This all achieved with Txango’s professionalism from when I first contacted them inquiring about the Madrid tour to Raphael turning up on time and me slipping into the bucket.
This extended to his handling of the bike while keeping me informed!
In several weeks time it will be Paris!

Highlight of our trip to Paris!

Traveling as a group of 12, we had several changes to our dates and times, and they were incredibly accommodating and flexible throughout the process.

We had so much fun together as a family, and Simone was absolutely the best! He was so kind, personable, and went above and beyond to make our experience special. He even allowed our private photographer to ride in a separate sidecar so he could capture photos of our entire group.

The whole experience was fantastic and such a fun way to catch a glimpse of Paris from a unique perspective. Highly recommended!

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.
