Must-Do Activity in Paris - The electric scooter tour with Badass Tours was the best way to kick off our trip to Paris. We were two couples and the only ones on the tour that morning. We visited between the Olympics and Paralympics and were impressed with the ease and accessibility the scooters provided.
Tess, our guide, was fantastic. She asked for our must-see sights and ensured we would see everything we really wanted to on the tour. We hit all the major sights and many more along the way. Tess provided the right level of information to keep our group engaged. It was a great mix of historical information and fun facts. She also did a great job ensuring our safety in the busy city.

Bad@$$ !!!!!!!!! - I have to admit I was skeptical about an EScooter tour, as I had never been on one let alone one in a city with cobble stone roadways far from home. This all changed when we met Tess! She put my mind at ease and briefed us on the tour and safety, took us to practice and off we went. What a wonderful tour!! We saw and learned so much! Tess was very knowledgeable and personable. Halfway through the tour this escooter novice was zipping through the courtyard of the Louvre like a pro!!! I can't recommend this tour enough!!!

One of the most fun things we did in Paris… best way to see the city - One of the highlights of our visit to Paris. We met Tess at their office which is located on a quiet side street. The kids were really excited to e-scooter as they had done it elsewhere. Tess explained the rules of the road, how things were going to go, set the e-scooters on “kiddie” mode and road-tested us on the quiet side street first (there was no traffic… not even pedestrian). Helmets were provided.
Once Tess was satisfied, we set off. 98% of our journey was on bike paths or segregated road away from traffic. There was a very short stretch that was not and Tess had us wait at the curb until the prior traffic light stopped a traffic so we could proceed without traffic. It was very safe.
Tess took us to parts of Paris that we hadn’t seen or known about… all the while telling us about where we were and the history. We stopped half way at a cafe that was quite good. I couldn’t have planned a better experience if I tried.
Once we had earned enough trust with Tess with respect to our ability, kiddie mode was turned off. It was a blast seeing/getting around Paris in this way.
The kids were really engaged and Tess was definitely in control and on top of safety at all times. Highly recommend them and we will use them again the next time we go to Paris.

Fantastic introduction to Paris. Loved it! - We loved the Bad Ass escooter tour with Mark as our guide. We are a family of 4, with 2 teenage girls and it was the perfect introduction to the sites of Paris. We covered a lot of ground and Mark shared lots of interesting facts and anecdotes. It was a small group, just us and another family. I would highly recommend as a great way to see Paris on your first day.

The best tour! - This is the best way to see the city while also having a blast! The guide was super knowledgeable and also a ton of fun! She made sure we were safe and got us right up into the action of the city. The scooters were very safe and new. This was by far the best city tour we’re ever done!

10/10 - Would do it again! - What a unique experience! My husband and I were looking for a different way to explore Paris and decided to try the e-scooter tour with our teenage kids.
We met with our tour guide Tess - who was a rockstar! She gave us a thorough tutorial on how to operate the scooters. I was by far the most timid of our group. But by the end, I felt like a pro!
Tess was super knowledgeable about all areas of Paris, the history and kept our kids engaged with trivia questions!
The benefits of this tour for us were:
- Doing it Day 2 of our trip provided us with familiarity of the City and areas we would want to see again during our visit
- Less walking - my daughter and I have previous knee injuries, so the e-scooter was better than walking or riding a bike
- A knowledgeable guide to provide some historical insight
- The e-scooters were pretty nimble and small to easily navigate through crowds and traffic
This was one of the highlights of our time in Paris! Special thanks to the owner Mark for a wonderful and unique Badass experience!

Badass Tours e-scooter tour of Paris was phenomenal! - Ok…we just had THE BEST TOUR EVER! Badass Tours took our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens) on an e-scooter tour of the city and it was FANTASTIC. Honestly, my teens were fairly bored with the history, art, culture and this was JUST the thing to spark their interest. Mark was an amazing guide…funny, informative…he made history engaging for my teens. Google Badass Tours in Paris and book directly. Worth every penny!!

An absolute MUST - Can't recommend this tour highly enough - Our guide was professional, knowledgeable, generous, patient, safe, and above all, hilarious. Is everyone at Badass a tortured comedic genius? Are they all brilliant, cagey Irishmen? I don't know but what we experienced was not only an extensive history lesson but also a laugh-a-minute joy ride through the best parts of Paris on smooth, incredibly easy to manage fun sticks, all with different names - I believe mine was called Scootie and the Blowfish and my pal's, a biblical scholar visiting from California, Scooteronomy, though it may have been Château Scoot-du-Pape, I can't remember, he's also a French wine enthusiast. Highlights of the tour: Fred the Sunning Seine Tortoise, the Atelier where Picasso painted Guernica, The Gates of Paradise at Le Petit Palais where Satan does that thing with his tongue. This is all without mentioning the outlandishly charming side street where Badass Tours is located, just under Anne's apartment, a French woman in her nineties who stuck her head out, smiled, and waved us on our way. Things to do in Paris STARTS HERE. Truly, an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Badass!

Great way to cover lots of Paris and learn loads. - The E scooter tour was the highlight of our trip to Paris. Our guide, Tess, was lovely. Really informative and we learnt loads that we otherwise would have missed. You get to cover a lot of Paris in a short space of time and see many of the sights. Would highly recommend.
