About us...

Txango Tours is a small operator of sidecar motorcycle tours through Paris and Versailles. We show our guests the best of what the area has to offer, and all from the vantage point of a classic vehicle! Our guides and drivers are fully trained and licensed professionals who just love to show their passengers a fun time!

OUR FOCUS:

Activities / Experiences, Services, Other

ENVIRONMENT & SUSTAINABILITY

We have policies in place to manage our sustainability and environmental impact.

Our Versailles tour includes a picnic, which are notoriously wasteful in terms of both leftover unconsumed food, and disposable utensils. I have invested in washable & re-usable picnic cutlery and containers. As we work through the market in Versailles, we will be collecting our lunch in our own containers which will then be kept, machine-washed, and re-used.
Furthermore, I am currently researching local associations to whom we will donate any unconsumed picnic food.

SOCIAL IMPACT

We take steps to have a positive impact on our community.

Initially, I was going to be a school teacher. Throughout my career in tourism I have continued to preserve relationships with local schools by offering internships and free excursions for local students and their families.

ADVENTURERS

Although we love to "fly the basket", we try to keep this trick to a minimum for the sake of the sidecar's suspension ;)
