The Retro Sidecar Tour through the Medoc region of Bordeaux with Alex was a great experience. Despite my wife’s reservations at the surprise mode of transport from the start, by the first half hour she was thoroughly enjoying what was a four hour tour. We visited two wineries and had guided tours, was able to see the processing of picked Merlot grapes at the winery and a tasting after the tour. Alex was very professional, courteous and helpful in informing points of interest, history, and places to enjoy good food and wine. Overall a wonderful experience that we will remember for a long time. 🏍🇫🇷🍷😀

The tour guides were a lot of fun and very knowledgable - full of fun facts. Being in a side car was a incredible experience. Bordeaux is beautiful and the views were amazing to get to the chateaus. The wine was delicious. Will definitely be back again to do the full day tour.

Fantastic tour, and one we'll remember. There's nothing better than cruising around the medical in a sidecar, with the sunshine and great wine tasting. Best way to spend a Saturday morning and Alexandre was the perfect t host and guide. Very funny, personable and made the experience even better than we thought

Alex, I cannot thank you enough for your tour and your flexibility. I have spent the last 20 years traveling the world and also learning about wine. Your tour stands out among the best. It was so much fun riding the sidecar though the city and through the vineyards. We enjoyed visiting both wineries and getting to taste the wines (one can order the wine from both places and have it shipped as there is not much room in the sidecar). That sidecar is one of the most comfortable seats I have ever had 😇 We also enjoyed Alex’s insights about Bordeaux and other places to visit.
