One of my favorite tours ever!

Liz_D, Apr 2024

This was an awesome tour- and one of my most favorite tours I’ve done anywhere! The scooters were fun to ride, but Mark (with a k 😉) was an excellent guide. I learned a lot of great information (both historical info and current info) and have compiled a list of things I want to do when I come back to Paris again. Mark introduced us to more lessor known things in Paris, which I really appreciated. Our safety was also very important - and that was evident and appreciated. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat because it was so fun. Thanks to the scooters we were able to cover a lot more ground than if we were on foot. Ponchos were also provided, which made the ride a lot warmer for me 😊. Thanks Mark for a great afternoon in Paris!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hey Liz! Thank you so much for the great review! We love hearing everyone's feedback about our tour and are so happy that you had a positive experience. Thanks again for coming on our tour and we hope to see you again next time!

Awesome!

Mark_H, Apr 2024

Mark was awesome! So informative and fun, highly recommend badass tours! He made sure we were all comfortable on the scooters before leaving and checked in regularly. The insights and behind the scenes of Paris tips were second to none!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi Mark, thank you so much for the kind review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the tour!

To say this tour was great would be an understatement. Marc took great care of us. Perfect introduction to the city and got lots of great insider tips.

Amazing scooter tour!

Krista_H, Mar 2024

Our tour (March 11, 2024) with Mark was just the best! We ended up on a private tour because of late flights. Mark was super knowledgeable, friendly and showed us lots of great sights. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Badass Tours is amazing and I would recommend them all who want to see Paris! Huge thank you Mark!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi Krista! Thanks for the great review! We're so glad that you made it in time for the tour and that you had such a fun time cruising around Paris with Mark on the electric scooters. Hope to see you again next time!

Super 👌 👍

A must do in Paris

Jamie_N, Feb 2024

We had so much fun on this tour, our tour guide Mark was so knowledgeable and kept the trip fun whilst giving us so many tips on visiting the must visit attractions. His recommendation for lunch was also superb 👏

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Jamie, thanks for the great review! So happy to hear you guys had a great time on our e-scooter tour of Paris. Please come back again next time!

Highly recommended scooter tour

Faith_H, Dec 2023

Best tour ever! Mark is well informed about the history of Paris and made the tour so much fun with his sense of humour. I was the only one on the tour and Mark went out of his way to take me to some hidden gems. Highly recommend doing this if you’re planning a visit to Paris.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Faith, thank you so much for the kind review and recommendation! We are so happy that you enjoyed our electric scooter tour of Paris. Please come back and see us again next time!

Amazing tour - Badass Rocks

Christine_A, Nov 2023

This is a must do! If we could give 10 stars we would. Having just arrived in Paris Mark took us to every landmark and his knowledge of the history of Paris was nothing short of amazing. I had never been on a scooter and the kids had so the experience level was mixed. We all thoroughly felt safe and had an amazing experience. We will do it again if we come back. Badass is the one to use if you want to see the city! Thanks so much for the best travel experience ever. Cheers

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hey Tina, thank you so much for the amazing review! We're so happy that you and your family enjoyed the tour and had such a great time. We're always happy when people come away having had a great experience and enjoyed riding the scooters. Please come back again next time you're in Paris, we'd love to see you all again!

Mark w/ a K was amazing!

Andrew_W, Nov 2023

Make sure you ask for Mark w/ a K. The guy with the C works for another tour group. This your was highly informative! I highly recommend doing this tour AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE to get your bearings of the city! Also super helpful to start figuring out what attractions you might be interested in visiting. Mark was also authentically funny and quirky in a way that you traversed the city feeling like a local. I was only in town for a quick 18hr turnaround but I've definitely got a blueprint for when I find myself in Paris again. Really excited for some of their other tours!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks Andrew! We agree doing the tour at the beginning of your trip is a great way to get an idea about the lay of the land and where you might like to venture on to after. So happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour! Please check us out again next time your in Paris, there's loads of great stuff to see!

Highly recommended

Matthew_B, Sep 2023

This tour is an excellent way to get a ground-level tour of Paris in just three hours, and you get to see so much more than other tours. Our guide, Mark, was both informative and quite fun, having lived in the city for more than 10 years. The amount of time you spend scooting in traffic is kept to a minimum, so there isn't much to worry about as far as safety is concerned, and everyone gets a quick lesson on a deserted city street before getting underway. Don't do the boat or bus tours, do this instead.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hey Matthew, thank you so much for that great feedback and review. We agree and that is how we specifically designed our tour: to be a great, ground-level tour that covers almost all of the highlights in just a couple of hours. And also to have fun riding the scooters :) Glad you enjoyed the tour, come back and let's go cruise again!

Fantastic way to see the city!

Eric_S, Sep 2023

Went as a couple on a Wednesday in September. We really lucked out to have beatiful weather and no one else on the the tour, so we had our guide Mark to ourselves. As an Irish guy who has lived in Paris for 13 years, you get the best of both worlds with no language barrier and tons of local knowledge (he also speaks great French and was able to get us through some police barriers on a day when King Charles was visiting the city and mucking up the traffic flow) He was definitely a super geek with a wealth of knowledge on all things paris and told us tons of great anecdotes about the history of Paris and its architecture and monuments, in addition to recommendations on restaurants, bars, and places to visit later. The tour is scheduled for 3 hours and does kind of a big loop around the seine, stopping at all the sites of interest in central Paris, including the louvre and the orangery, musee D’Orsay, Pont Alexandre iii, the left bank and le merais. Ours ended up being more like 3.5 hours due to the detours and some bonus stops for pictures, which we weren’t mad about at all. There is also a cafe stop toward the end at a lovely biking cafe for the best croissants we have had in France and some coffee and kambucha. You are mostly riding in wide open bike lanes, although there are a few more crowded streets where you have to dodge pedestrians. The equipment is brand new and we always felt safe. This badass tour was a wonderful introduction to the city and we now have a list of places to go back to on the rest of our 7 day stay. Can’t recommend mark and badass tours enough, do it as early in your trip as you can, you won’t regret it :)

Response from Host, Oct 2023

That's so great to hear Eric, thank you for writing such a thoughtful and detailed review. We are certainly striving for excellence in our tour experiences and happy to hear that you guys enjoyed the tour. Hope the rest of your 7 days were magical!

Awesome

Tony_N, Jul 2023

Awesome experience Mark our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. 100% recommend this experience if you want to see all the sires off paris.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much, it was a pleasure meeting you both and having you as our guests on the e-scooter tour of Paris! Thanks for coming out on tour with us!

This scooter tour was...

Matthew_C, Jul 2023

This scooter tour was amazing. I recommend doing this tour early in your Paris visit because you will learn about a ton more fun things to do in the city.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much for the kind review! Yes, we agree the scooter tour is a great option for early on in a trip. That way you get to see a lot of stuff right away and cover a lot quickly. Also you learn about places to go and things to do that you want to have time for. So yeah, early in the trip is better! Thanks for coming out on tour with us!

Put this first on your list upon arrival!

Kristina_R, Jun 2023

I think this was the very best thing I did in Paris. Saw a great combo of known and unknown sights, the e-scooter let us cover a ton of ground and get a cool breeze. Mark, the guide, was awesome -- lots of fun insights, and he kept us safe. I was a little nervous never having tried an e-scooter but we had a great mini lesson and a little practice on a secluded street, and after that, it was second nature. Would definitely recommend. Felt like we were traveling around with a local who knew and appreciated the history of Paris plus modern day finds.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hey thanks Tina! We're so glad you had fun on the tour and that you enjoyed riding the scooters. You're right, Mark is an awesome guide and we are lucky to have him. Hope to see you again next time you are in Paris!
