Guidekin's take

A short private sidecar ride through Bordeaux with a driver guide, one passenger in the basket and one behind the driver, swapping seats along the way; parties of three or four get two sidecars.

Helmet and live commentary included, food and drinks are not, and children ride with an adult. 4.94 from 87 reviews at €60 per person.

Best for: Choose a private sidecar loop past four city sights at €60 per person for 45 min; two to book, food and drinks extra. 4.94, 87 reviews. Private Tours comparison

Trade-off: Two to book; food and drinks extra.
