    What reviewers say

    Reviewers praise knowledgeable guides and flexible routes; passengers sharing a motorcycle do not all sit in the sidecar.

    Praised

    • Knowledgeable, friendly guides share Paris history and local insights
    • Flexible routes reflect travellers' interests and places already visited
    • Major sights and side streets covered without extensive walking
    • Careful driving helps nervous passengers feel safe

    Complaints

    • Sharing a motorcycle means a passenger rides behind the driver rather than in the sidecar
