There may be traffic on the city streets, but you’ll navigate around it to better enjoy sightseeing around the City of Lights. The customizable tour follows the best route to show you the landmarks and attractions you want to see.

Panoramic views from the Eiffel Tower

A must-see spot in Paris, the Eiffel Tower is one of the most important stops to make during your guided tour. The imposing structure is a sight to behold as you ride towards it, and you’re going to want to snag dozens of photos. You can wait until you arrive at the tower’s feet or have your sidecar passenger grab some shots or video on your approach.

Expect insight about the famous structure from your guide, including its history and significance to French culture. You can purchase admission to the second floor to witness the stunning panoramic views of the lively city. Viewing lenses are available to get a closer look at France’s capital.

There’s much you can see on your highlight tour of Paris, and you won’t want to miss the treasured stories relayed by your guide. Hear about the architectural wonders of the Arc de Triomphe, including the Roman inspirations and Napoleon’s vision for the impressive arch.

You’re not going to want to miss the Hotel des Invalides, the 17th-century estate served many purposes, first as a hospital for old and disabled war veterans. Listen closely as your guide explores the complex’s past, from King Louis XIV’s initial concept to the addition of Napoleon’s tomb. Marvel at the ornate touches, specifically the 12.65kg (27.9lbs) of gold leaf decorating the Dome.

We had a great time. Family of 4 with kids ages 8 and 10. One of you will ride in a large sidecar and one of you will ride on the back of the bike. Great tour guides. Learned a lot of fun facts about France we otherwise would not have known. Strongly recommend!

Our Paris Monuments Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle on April 13th was, without question, the highlight of our trip. I’ll admit, our kids were a bit skeptical at first when they saw the sidecars (because we didn't tell them in advance how we were touring the city), but that quickly turned into excitement. By the end, they absolutely loved it. It turned out to be one of those experiences that feels both adventurous and surprisingly comfortable at the same time. A huge thank you to our guides, Baptiste and Praveen, who were outstanding. They navigated the city effortlessly, weaving through Paris in a way that felt both thrilling and completely safe. What really stood out was how thoughtfully they structured the tour. We covered so much ground, moving through nearly every arrondissement, which gave us an incredible sense of the city’s layout early in our trip. It genuinely helped us feel more confident getting around on our own for the rest of the week. This isn’t just a tour, it’s an experience. Seeing Paris from a sidecar gives you a completely different perspective, and it made the city feel alive in a way that a traditional tour simply wouldn’t. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone visiting Paris. It’s unique, memorable, and an absolute must-do.
