Hop into a vintage Soviet-style sidecar and ride through the charming streets of Bordeaux in serious style! 🛵🇫🇷 Darley Newman joins expert local guide Alex on a retro sidecar tour—an unforgettable Uniworld river cruise excursion you can’t miss when cruising through Bordeaux.
From 15th-century gates to the stunning Place de la Bourse and the city's hidden vintage quarters, this unique mode of travel gets us up close and personal with the real Bordeaux—far from the crowds and tour buses. Plus, you'll get local insights, food tips, and a ride through some of the city's most photogenic (and narrow!) streets.
💬 Alex shares insider stories, from the French Revolution to the best local hangouts—like Market Square, a favorite spot for after-work drinks among locals.
🛵 The Ride:
Our sidecar is inspired by the classic Soviet M72 motorcycle—a design dating back to the 1940s and beloved by stars like Brad Pitt and Steven Tyler. One person rides in the 'basket,' the other behind the pilot (and yes, you can switch seats halfway through!).
🍷 Whether you're a history buff, a wine lover, or just looking for a chic way to experience Bordeaux, this is one tour you won’t forget.
➡️ Available as an excursion on Uniworld’s luxury river cruises through Bordeaux.
📌 Featured Stops & Highlights:
Cailhau Gate (15th-century city gate)
Place de la Bourse & the Water Mirror
Hidden vintage streets & boutique shops
Market Square – the locals' favorite for wine & bites
Authentic commentary from Alex, your local guide
