# Bordeaux Sightseeing Private Sidecar Guided Tour

**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.

**Short sidecar ride?:** Choose a private sidecar loop past four city sights at €60 per person for 45m; two to book, food and drinks extra. 4.94, 87 reviews. Trade-off: Two to book; food and drinks extra. (last checked September 22, 2026)
