Highly recommend - very fun
We learnt a lot about Bordeaux and saw a large portion of the city in this efficient tour by motorcycle and sidecar. Our guide was excellent and very informative. He even gave us recommendations for food and win and all things Bordeaux at the end.

Absolutely perfect. The whole team always tries to provide you with as much information as possible. Thank you.

Just do it, fantastic way to see the city that you wouldn’t see on a bus. Very good guides who chatted all the way round.

Yeah! Just do it - I like it :) Thank you

Best way to see Bordeaux
What a brilliant experience! Our Retro Tour of Bordeaux by motorcycle and sidecar with Alex was easily one of the highlights of our time in the city. It is such a fun and novel way to explore Bordeaux. We travelled through the grand streets, winding alleyways and little cobbled snickets, seeing parts of the city we would probably never have discovered on our own. There is something quite special about seeing Bordeaux from a vintage motorcycle and sidecar and we absolutely loved it. Alex was fantastic. Personable, charming, knowledgeable and really good company. He clearly knows and loves Bordeaux and shared lots of interesting stories and little bits of history along the way without it ever feeling like a history lesson. We have done plenty of walking tours and sightseeing buses over the years, but this was so much more fun. You get to cover plenty of ground, squeeze into places a bus could never reach and actually feel like you are exploring the city rather than just looking at it through a window. A really memorable experience and one we would definitely recommend. If you are visiting Bordeaux and fancy doing something a little different, give this a go. We came away with huge smiles on our faces.

Wozzers, what a brilliant tour. We thought we had seen all of Bordeaux until we went on this tour. Alex was a brilliant tour guide, he was funny, very knowledgeable with all the history. The novelty of doing this tour enhanced the experience of seeing and gaining historical facts of the area was beyond our expectations. Just book it, You won’t be disappointed.
