About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Vanessa-Jayne B0 contributionsBordeaux by bike and sidecar - superbFantastic way to see Bordeaux and the vineyards. Luke and Arthur were great guides and taught us loads about the Bordeaux history. The bike and sidecar was super fun - definitely recommend this !Written September 1, 2024
- Martin R0 contributionsHairy Bikers meets Bordeaux main sightsOur driver was fun and engaging and despite the weather which was cold and damp we still had fun. Sitting on the back of the motorbike was a bit scary but still funWritten July 6, 2024
- mikewT8880HM0 contributionsAmazing experienceAlex and Lucio were incredible tour guides. Our family (18 year old son) were so impressed with their intimate knowledge of the area. The 3 hour tour was a perfect mix of history and the city as it is now. We speak English but communication with Alex was flawless. There are dozens of areas in Bourdeaux that we would never have known exist without their local knowledge. Do not cheat yourself by missing this adventure.

- janepX4639EI0 contributionsGreat ride with a great guy!Really nice and knowledgeable guy. If you are up for it he can go pretty fast on the motorcycle. Great experiance all and all!Written May 19, 2024
- KerryL13580 contributionsA fun way to tour BordeauxAlex and his staff were fantastic! We enjoyed cruising around town (getting many smiles from the locals), learning about the history of Bordeaux and visiting the different neighborhoods. We were able to go down tiny streets where cars cannot drive and across town on a scenic and exhilarating ride. We booked the tour in advance - it sells out - and it was our first event when we arrived in Bordeaux. It was the perfect introduction and helped us when we returned to the various neighborhoods on foot later in the week.Written October 22, 2023
- ddschur0 contributionsNot to be missed!!!Exceptional, outstanding and Magnifique! Lucio was our guide and showed knowledge, humor and a great personality that made our trip so wonderful! My wife was a little reluctant to take this tour but, at the end, was VERY HAPPY we did. The sights, energy and variety of things we saw was terrific and, as mentioned, Luc was a big part of our delightful morning in Bourdeaux. Well worth the time and money!!!Written October 2, 2023
- GlobeTrotting4274000 contributionsFun way to experience Saint-EmilionRiding on the sidecar or pillion was really fun! Our pilot Lucio was amazing and toured us around Saint-Emilion while explaining different things about the town. Definitely a lot better than ebike, I would say. Had lots of enjoyable moments and good photos!Written September 29, 2023
- C1564NIbrucem0 contributionsFun in Bordeaux on a motorycleRecently did the St. Emilion tour in a side-car with Retro Tour in Bordeaux. We were two couples traveling via a cruise ship. Our pilots Alex and Emmanuel picked us up promptly at the ship. Admittedly, as we are older couples, we had some reluctance with one of us riding on the back of the motorcyle. But I have to say, all took turns on the back and we had a blast! Our pilots were wonderful always checking to make sure we were safe and comfortable. They are great, experienced drivers. We toured St. Emilion, visited a winery for a tasting and toured on the bikes through a vineyard. I highly recommend this tour. All of us agree that this was one of the highlights of our trip. Try it - you will not be disappointed!Written September 25, 2023

- SuperCuffy0 contributionsDon’t hesitate, book this tour!Wonderful experience with Alex. Alex was charming, fun, knowledgeable of the area, and made the whole afternoon very special. We were able to customize our pick up and drop off location and he was very easy to coordinate with. One of the best parts of our trip to France!Written September 14, 2023
- L3TMchrish0 contributionsFun in Saint Emilion!What an afternoon! Had a very special 4.5hrs with Alex and Emmanuel who were super friendly, informative and spoke perfect English. The bikes and sidecars look great and were a lot of fun, whilst the trip out to Saint Emilion afforded us wonderful views of the countryside and incorporated a wine tour at Couvent des where we got to sample some delightful wines.Written September 12, 2023
- Michaela C0 contributionsThe Kindest Tour Guide Ever!Our Tour guide (Arno/NoNo? Sorry I don’t know how to spell it🥲) was the sweetest, funniest and most caring tour guide ever. We had the best experience ever! He was so attentive and informative. My elderly mother really enjoyed the trip and loved him also, she said it was one of the best things she has done abroad. Well worth the money! Our tour kind was so kind and aware of the weather, he took us to cooler spots and even got us some water at his expense. Such a lovely gentleman and an absolute credit to the company he works for. He also has great taste in video games so he earns extra stars for that lol. Thankyou for a wonderful day!!Written August 17, 2023

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.
