Some big cities still offer horse and carriage tours like we’re still in the 1800s. I say F that and go for a sidecar motorcycle tour instead. At least Paris is offering such a pleasant experience.
If you ever watched British cooking shows, you might know who Richard Ayoade and Mel Giedroyc are. Well, on of their latest culinary adventure took them to Paris where they also took part in a short tour of the city on a classic Ural sidecar motorcycle on behalf of Retro Tour.
