What To Expect
Arenes de Lutece
The Arènes de Lutèce, located in the 5ᵉ arrondissement of Paris, are an ancient relic dating back to the 1st century AD. They were a Roman amphitheater capable of seating around 15,000 spectators. Used for gladiatorial combat and other public spectacles, they are one of the few remaining reminders of ancient Lutetia, the former name of Paris. Today, it's a public park, where you can still see the arcades and the shape of the circus. It's a tranquil spot in the heart of the Latin Quarter, combining history and relaxation.
Eglise Saint Germain
The church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, located in the 6ᵉ arrondissement of Paris, is one of the capital's oldest churches. Founded in the VIᵉ century, it was originally a Benedictine monastery. Its architecture combines Roman, Gothic and modern elements, with a beautiful cloister and impressive nave. The church is famous for its historical and cultural role, particularly in the development of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, once an intellectual and artistic center. Today, it is a symbol of Parisian heritage, blending history and art.

5.00This was beyond fun and such a great way to see the highlights of Paris. We had Michael and Emmanuel and they were knowledgeable and very friendly. We took my 9 year-old son, and Michael made it feel very safe.
Perfect first night in Paris!

5.00Not gonna lie.. as the time drew nearer for me to reveal this "big surprise" to my husband on our first night in Paris, I did get a bit nervous! Swimming in the Seine and a helicopter ride were among his guesses as we approached our pre-determined meet-up point..haha!! 🤣 Needless to say, he would have NEVER guessed and he was delighted when he saw the motorbike and sidecar. This being my husband's first trip to Paris, William took us on an over-view tour of the major highlights. We made it to the Eiffel Tower just as it started to twinkle..and right on cue, the champagne was opened and we enjoyed a lovely toast. I mean seriously, right out of a movie... 🩷 William was a delight; perfect English, confident driver, great sense of humor, fabulous source of information about Paris. This is an expensive tour, no doubt about it, but it is worth it not only for the experience but for its uniqueness. We will always remember our first night in Paris.. 🥰 Merci William for making it so memorable and for setting the tone for our visit!
10 out of 10!

5.00Wow! 10 out of 10 experience. Emmanuel took us on a private tour of Paris and beyond. He is an experienced linguist with a wealth of knowledge and made our visit so memorable.
An amazing experience that we will never forget!

5.00Simply put….This was AMAZING! Start to finish, this was an experience beyond compare and was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris! Our driver Michael could not have been nicer, as he mapped out a custom ride to hit the highlights in the city that we hadn’t visited yet as well as some of the lesser known “nooks and crannies” that we didn’t even know about. Our only regret is that we didn’t book the ride earlier in our trip so that we could take advantage of more of the recommendations that he made for restaurants and visited some of the areas that we learned about along the way. And of course it would have been nicer if we had booked a longer ride, but the evening trip around the city topped off with a glass of champagne at the foot of the Eiffel Tower is a memory that neither my husband or I will ever forget! I simply cannot recommend this ride or our driver Michael enough….five stars!!
On time. Friendly. ...

5.00This tour was phenomenal ! Michael was kind, polite, easy to talk to, mindful of photos we wanted to take, knowledgeable about unique aspects of the city & an awesome driver who knew the streets of Paris like the backs of his hands. As we drove through the city streets we received many smiles, hand waves, photographs were taken. It seems as though the people in the streets were as happy to see us as we were to ride in such a vintage sidecar !

5.00What a fun and engaging way to see the city! I would have never been able to see so many key attractions on foot. It was worth every penny!
Just Do It!!

5.00This was by far the best experience of our entire trip to Europe. Antoine was an amazing guide and driver. He took us where we wanted to go and many other places along the way. It was a wonderful and unique way to see Paris. I would highly recommend it to anyone. We did the 3-hour trip which was the perfect amount of time.
Excellent!
