Discover Paris and Versailles by sidecar rather than on foot or in a tour bus: that’s the idea behind Txango Tours. Launched in 2021 by Simon, this urban mobility experience blends driving with a guided visit: an experienced driver-guide takes the helm while passengers enjoy sweeping views of the city, the ride itself, and several stops along the route. The format is especially geared toward visitors who want to combine monument discovery, navigating quieter streets, and commentary tailored to the group.
The itineraries from Txango Tours reserve a place for iconic monuments while taking less-traveled routes. The stated aim is to vary the viewpoints rather than merely sticking to the main tourist arteries.
According to information provided by the establishment, the driver-guide may, in particular, plan stops in front of an Art Deco façade, in a cobbled courtyard, or on a bridge to allow time for a photo. Areas such as Montmartre or certain quieter stretches along the Seine may also be included in the itinerary.
Txango Tours presents its tours as a tailor-made visit package. The driver-guide can adapt the itinerary and narration to match the group’s expressed desires, while preserving the idea of an urban discovery that blends iconic sites with quieter, more tucked-away spots.
The two-hour tour is listed as the establishment's most in-demand offering. The duration makes it feasible to include this activity in a day of sightseeing in Paris or Versailles, alongside other discoveries planned on site.
Txango Tours, a project launched in 2021
The project is led by Simon, who grew up between France and the United States. Before launching Txango Tours in 2021, he spent more than thirteen years in the bicycle-tour industry, notably with Fat Tire Tours.
This urban-tourism experience forms the basis of the current concept: professional guidance paired with a change of transport mode and a new perspective on the city. Txango Tours now operates in Paris as well as in Madrid, while the offering here also lets you discover Versailles by sidecar.
To arrange a outing with Txango Tours, you should check the schedules, rates, meeting points, access requirements and booking terms directly with the establishment before your visit.
