Guidekin's take

The longer private sidecar loop of Bordeaux with a driver guide and live commentary, one passenger in the basket and one on the pillion, two sidecars for parties of three or four.

Helmets are provided, food and drinks are not, and the ride is not advised in pregnancy or with back problems. 4.93 from 81 reviews for 1h 30m.

Best for: Your own sidecar and driver guide from the Quinconces to the water mirror and the old gates at €110 per person for 1h 30m, two to book. 4.93, 81 reviews. Private Tours comparison

Trade-off: Per person, two to book; food and drinks extra.
