This was the highlight of our trip!!! Absolutely amazing way to see a lot, in 3 hours! Our guides were fantastic. Will recommend this trip to all of my friends visiting Paris!

Loved everything about this. We did the half day tour. We are a family of four (children ages 9 and 11). We had two drivers who picked us up from our apartment in the 7th. I'm sorry I forgot their names, but one was a retired Parisian policeman. It was great to see all the main attractions in such a short amount of time. Being on a motorcycle really made getting around the city easier ESPECIALLY around Montmartre. I would recommend this for any family or really anyone who wants to zip around Paris. They were flexible with what we wanted to see as well. Our guides were fabulous! A must do if you can book it!

My teen and I had a lot of fun with our guide William! He drove us around the beautiful city of Paris and we had a fantastic time, even in the rain. Would recommend for anyone wanting to see the highlights and to get a feel for different neighborhoods.

Alan, thank you for an amazing ride! What a great way to view the city while learning some of the history! Would highly recommend to any first time travelers to Paris.

beverlyp798

Everyone should do this when visiting Paris! I visited last year and saw a lot but this year when taking this tour I saw even more. Louis was our guide for my son and I. He was lovely, funny, kind, generous, and just a beautiful soul. He has great conversation and shows you parts of Paris you wouldn’t think to go; loved every minute of it! We did the 1/2 day tour which is really what you need to get a good understanding of the layout of Paris and to fully enjoy the experience! The best thing we did our entire 3 weeks in Europe!

Amazing and well worth the money! Leo took us on a tour of the real Paris. If you want an authentic experience we can highly recommend this tour. We would do it again in a heart beat ❤️ Fabulous beyond words. Thank you so very much 🙏❤️

YOU MUST BOOK THIS TOUR! After seeing several friends post pictures on their socials, I inquired how they liked the the Retro tour. Both friends (who went to Paris at different times) loved the tour and said they only wished they did the longer tour time. Both friends did the 1.5 hour tour, so we booked the half day. We could have even booked the full day if we knew how quickly time would fly. We booked the half day tour of Paris on our first day of arrival. We were four adults, there for our 50th birthdays. We are coming back next year with our kids and already know we will use Retro Tour for our family trip. We asked to see all the major historical places in order to give us a good introduction to the city, and a visual scope of how all the districts were connected. We absolutely LOVED our tour guides. Leo was so knowledgeable about all the monuments and architecture. They were flexible and agreed to stop at a famous bakery that I had researched, and at a bar so we could have a champagne toast. The Motorcycles/side cars were in great condition and clean. The tour guides were very handsome 😝 and had really cool Chevignon (French brand) uniforms so they looked extremely professional. Their English was perfect, and they were warm and lovely. Most important was how knowledgeable they were about everything we were seeing, stopping for photos ops at the the best locations so we weren't swarmed by tourists, and we got the most memorable photos. I cannot recommend Retro-tours enough. It was SO much fun, and such a great way to see Paris. Definitely the best bang for your buck. My only advice is that it's fun to stop along the way if you see a charming bar, crepes, patisserie, or a cool store etc. So build that in so you don't feel like your are missing out en route. You definitely need the half day at a minimum. There is so much too see!

A unique and exhilarating way to get an excellent overview of Paris sites. We put our group in the expert hands of our guides and we’re not disappointed. Roman was engaging with great stories and a joyful zest for engaging with our group. Couldn’t have been a better first day in Paris! If you’re on the fence about this tour, get off it and get on that bike or in the sidecar! You will have a blast!

I realized I never wrote a review- WE LOVED this experience. It was by far my husbands favorite! We went with our two teenage kids and it was so so fun. I have recommended this to so many other friends who are visiting Paris and all of them had a blast too! We highly recommend!

I have been to Paris 50 + time since my first trip in 1974 and I lived there for one year in the eighties. This tour shows you Paris from an angle you rarely see. I saw well known sights that I have been to numerous times in a completely different way. We were fortunate that the weather was great albeit cold. It's not cheap but I think we got our money's worth.
