The Vespa we rented from Left Bank Scooters totally made our trip to Paris. The Vespa was in excellent shape and easy to operate. It was SOO scary at first, but after we got the hang of things it was easy to sooo funn!! We even rode around the arc de triumphe and down the champs d'elises...It was very easy to find parking anywhere we went and other drivers were always curteous to the scooters. So many people said that it would be reallyl bad news to try and drive in Paris and it totally wasn't. Definately bring a GPS as the roads are not easy to navigate. Be sure to bring warm clothes for during the winter/early spring. Also, most of the other scooters had these blanket type things that attached to the scooter and covered the legs/lap of the driver, but these didn't, that might be something Left Bank Scooters would want to invest in. Also a small tutorial on the signs might be good, we definatelly went down a few one way streets (the wrong way) before realizing what the signs meant.
PARIS EVEN BETTER THAN I THOUGHT !
Reviewed by AF81 on Mar 5, 2010I 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
