When we next return I'm getting one for me and one for my wife. It truly is the best way to explore Paris, like a local.

I recommend the tour, especially with a bit of how to handle traffic/circles advice (Paris city round abouts are different traffic pattern than the typical round about in Europe). And then gad about on your own.

Driving in Paris isn't bad at all if you just don't try and match what the other, local, scooters are doing. Drive, stop, look, easily park, go places you can't go any other way without hours of metro or many dollars of cab / uber.

It was one of the greatest days in my life. I could see Paris on the best scooter i could expect! Good guide, good tour, well organized and prepared. I strongly advise you to use this company for your time in Paris. You would not regret this choice.

After the tour we kept the scooter and drove around Paris on our own. Monmartre was especially fun. A scooter is a perfect way to get around Paris as it's easy to find free parking so you can zip from attraction to attraction. I was a bit nervous about driving around Paris but got the hang of it pretty quickly.

My girlfriend and I did the scooter tour today. Lucas was our guide and we had a great day. Tons of fun, we got to see so many different things, I think it's the best way to see Paris as you can cover so much ground so quickly and parking is super easy.
We stopped a couple of times for coffee, had some lunch, all in all a solid days entertainment.
Special thanks to Lucas, super nice, informative and really funny. We had a blast hanging with him, it was like hanging with a friend.
Xavier was super helpful in booking the tour and they even arranged and paid for the Uber to pick us up from our Hotel and drop us back afterwards.....at their expense. Very cool. Thanks Xavier

Taking a scooter and heading out of Paris was fantastic! Paris by scooter had excellent communication and it was a no hassle experience! Definitely made my paris experience unique and most memorable!

We did the Versailles tour and then rented the scooter for an extra day. The tour was great. It was a lot more fun to drive to Versailles on a scooter than a bus or a train full of other tourists! Milan was an excellent tour guide and took us around to see the gardens and fountains of Versailles. He also took great pictures.

With the scooter the city was my oyster. I opened Yelp up to the whole city, found great places to eat, and went there. I visited all but 2 of the 20 paris districts. It's really the way to see the city beyond the basic tourist stuff.

Two days later, Milan took me on a fantastic overview tour on Wednesday. I explored on my own on Thursday.

I went and saw things you cannot see any other way. They also were great adjusting to my goals as a photographer, including scouting locations and adjusting the tour.
