I spent the winter in Paris with my lady, with only 7 days there, and so many things to see and so many beautiful foods to be eaten left bank scooters made it allot easier on us getting around. Soooome through the streets of Paris and when a place takes your fancy just park it up literally anywhere . You do not miss a thing this way, and your not stuck in the metro were you pass under everything. It certainly made falling in love again a thrilling ride!
Outstanding Service - Highlight of our vacation in Paris
Reviewed by AnnMarieDallas on Mar 3, 2010We took an 8 hour private tour of Paris with Matt of Left Bank Scooters in February 2010. After explaining that I wanted to surprise my husband with something special for our anniversary Matt put together an incredible private tour that took us pass the major attractions but also through the streets of Paris. Matt has great knowledge of the local culture as well as the history of Paris. All of the details were worked out in advance of our arrival via email so there was no hassle on the day of our tour. Our tour of Paris was the high light of our vacation.
Excellent!
Reviewed by Slicco on Jan 20, 2010Brilliant. No better way to discover Paris. It?s not a cheap trick, as you should get the stronger, 125, bike (especially if sharing) and the navigation system. But being independent of the Metro and Taxis, and being able to park wherever you like is worth every penny. Not for the faint-hearted though. If you have no moped/mofa experience and are easily intimidated by heavy traffic, be aware that this is Paris. Take your time to practice on some quiet streets. We spontaneously added a day to our rental and even got a small discount. Zipping through Paris gives you the local feeling and will allow you to see much more.
i tried it for an hour but it was too cold that day
Reviewed by tamironi on Jan 19, 2010it was -7 degrees in paris, Adam - australien dude that broght the scooter to our hotel, had let me try it for an hour.
I told him that it was too cold and he refund the money and took the bike back.
Good experience - thanks adam!!!
An amazing view of Paris...
Reviewed by 2TravelBugs06 on Jan 16, 2010This was by far my husbands favorite thing that we did in Paris. In one afternoon we were able to see what it would have taken us two days to do on foot. It was a perspective of Paris that most visitors do not get to experience. Driving down the champs elysees at rush hour, past the eiffel tower, and through crowded food markets are some of our fondest memories of Paris. Not to mention while I was riding on the back of the scooter I took some amazing photos!
Although we were nervous about driving in Paris traffic, when they delivered the scoooter to us they gave us a tutorial of basic traffic guidelines and important things to know. We were also nervous about being cold on the scooter but the gloves the provided us kept our hands warm, the face shields on the helmets did their jobs, and we found the ride to be delightful. It was also a huge plus that they bring the scooter to your hotel and pick it up there as well.
