- Great moment ????

Written by Farida Ayad-Moudnib, 06-03-2023

Wonderful discovery! It was a surprise outing for my 17 year old daughter? I thought I was going to watch it but in fact after a little training for the team... here we go! Very nice ballad with a very good supervision. Thank you team for your attention, your advice and your smile! Team listening to our expectations and our pace! I recommend this trip to the banks of the Seine.

- Super nice, good discovery!

Written by Maud BERTHAULT, on 27-02-2023

What I liked : that my 8 years old daughter discovered and tried the hoverboard, by making 1 small valade on the quays of the Seine. Easy reservation and good support for the change of day and time that we had to do in fine. I recommend without problem this activity.

- Delighted with the experience

Written by Viviane SORBA, on 27-02-2023

The girls (11 and 15 years old) were delighted with this experience in Paris, even if the weather was not good. Mohamed was very patient and careful, he took the time to train them before leaving.

- An incredibly fun experience for all ages: Hoverboard ride

Written by Nathanael RAMOS, on 25-01-2023

My 12 year old daughter and I had a great time on our Hoverboard ride in December. It was my first time at 50, I was a little nervous but after 10 minutes it was crazy fun. The feeling of sliding was incredible and we were able to move easily and safely thanks to our guide. My daughter was delighted to be able to share this moment with me and it strengthened our complicity. We highly recommend this experience to all thrill seekers and new technology enthusiasts.

- Original and fun!

Written by olivier, on 24-10-2022

A nice little walk on the docks. The reservation was simple and fast. The handling of the hoverboard is easy, even for children.

- Original and nice outing

Written by Marlen Gysel on 21-10-2022

We really liked the concept, to do something active, a little challenge of balance and driving while discovering the banks of the Seine with a view on the island of the city. Great discovery of the bike-pedestrian tunnel with artworks on the wall! Be careful, at high speed you might lose control of the bike. The guide was very nice and funny. He could have told more about the environment and described what we see. He was also very flexible to postpone the schedule because of our delay. Absolutely add a direct contact number, because the person in charge of familin-paris was difficult to reach. We recommend without hesitation!

- Big difference

Written by VH, on 19-08-2022

I have a big doubt about the "very easy and fun". Two falls from the same level backwards on my back in the first minutes? one week into a hiking vacation (just to say that I am rather sporty): I hesitate to persevere: I will surely succeed, but at what? To break something in addition to doing the animation on the sidewalk in front of the store? Maybe some prerequisites that should have been pointed out? I am very tall, not easy to parry for the instructor who did not hold me back in my falls? For the rest, big disappointment in terms of customer relations: we were offered electric scooters: ok that's fine. But there is no more available! We are offered another thing sitting on the ground on the hoverboard. Frankly we feel it not too much. We ask if we can have a discount or postpone a scooter session: at the reception we can't do anything, we have to see with the boss who is not there. They suggest us to write him an e-mail: promised he will answer. Written mail, reminder. No answer?

Written by Familin'Paris Team

Good morning, Madam, Following your comment, we have inquired with our partner. Indeed, an alternative solution has been proposed to you. You are cordially invited to do the electric scooter outing on the date of your choice (it is probably an easier activity!). You will just have to pay the difference in price between the hoverboard and the scooter, i.e. 10 euros extra per person.

- Cancelled experiment

Written by Dominique Blomme, 18-08-2022

The activity was cancelled because at least two people were needed according to what I was told on the phone. But the payment of the 7? has been cashed and not refunded. To be avoided!

Friendly and attentive team. I highly recommend this trip.

- Nice but...

Written by sabine Dunias, on 25-04-2022

Great welcome, very nice supervisor who takes the time to familiarize you with this unstable machine. After a little acclimatization to the object, the ride begins, first a little "sportive" in the sense that it is necessary to share the way with cyclists, pedestrians...then more relaxed on the quays of the Seine. Although expensive for a family of 4 people, the moment could have been nice but .... my husband fell and made a big sprain of his ankle. So obviously, the memory kept is not great. In the emergency room, we were told that the Hoverboard for the less young (we are 40 years old) was the equivalent of the trampoline for the children, the most accident-prone gadget! Although very nice, our supervisor could not really help us, it was necessary to bring back the machines to the store before helping the victim, like simply finding a pocket of cold in a first time, to freeze immediately, that would have been however useful. When you find yourself on the banks of the Seine with a sprain and a broken foot bone...it's immediately hell. So I would rather advise you to use a scooter or a wheelchair with handlebars, which seem to be more stable unless you are not afraid of being in a cast with crutches for several weeks. Finally, maybe for the price, a quick presentation of some of the buildings seen along the Seine to turn this simply "fun" stroll into a fun cultural visit could be appreciated. To finish on a positive note, I repeat, the reception and the supervisor were really nice.

We are sorry that your husband was injured during this ride. This is the first time that such an accident has occurred during a Hoverboard ride. We sincerely wish him a good recovery. We exchanged with the organizers. They told us that you were able, despite everything, to continue and do the entire course with the group. We hope that this experience will remain for you and your 2 children a pleasant moment.

- Excellent

A young and dynamic team My 14 year old son was supposed to participate with a group of nine people he didn't know but had to cancel at the last minute Normally they have to cancel and well they still maintained the walk since we had waited for their arrival so he did a tour with an instructor in training and another animator Pretty cool, huh? He loved it, he wants to go back as soon as possible Go ahead, you won't regret it!

Very synaptic animator but what diploma does he have? Not enough supervision if we were more than 3. Not enough hygiene, damaged protections Amateurish and unprofessional activity Very nice walk on the quays but crossing the boulevard to reach them is very dangerous because of the traffic, the bikes, the pedestrians. Activity to make the Latin because less world

- It was good but hard! ?

Written by Anne B., on 08-03-2021

The kids loved it, that's the main thing. Easier for them than for us (old people over 45 years old) to apprehend the Hoverboard, I think. We had no chance, we were mixed with a group of the city of Paris and they were very very numerous! As a result, our leaders were entirely dedicated to managing the herd (and they had to be, for obvious safety reasons) and we may not have had all the help or advice we could get. They were very kind as they offered us to try again another day, outside of the school vacations. A great team, very attentive, even when they are overwhelmed. And a REAL adventure, a must try. Not as simple as it seems but very funny.

- Excellent

Written by Eli, on 25-02-2021

Ideal activity to take air, to have sensations and to have fun!

- Insufficient care for 14 people, more than half of whom were children with an accompanying person.

Written by Bernadette CHARBONNIER, on 22-02-2021

Batteries insufficiently charged which did not hold the walk .... protection equipment whose packages disordered; Accompanist slightly overwhelmed!! but did what he could to satisfy us; two adults who followed brought their help!!! fortunately; a lot of traffic too.

- Good but beware of the final price

Written by Laurent Petter, on 02-02-2021

Activity was consistent. My 8 year old son liked it. On the other hand, I was surprised by the total cost to pay in the end. This one is not explicit on the website to make the order. There is an important addition to pay in store...

I would therefore book directly with them if I had to repeat the experience.

This unusual ride was a great pleasure for my 2 little sons, their guide Steeve is extremely friendly. The security is respected, protections and yellow vests. They were only 3 children already "warned" knowing how to practice the hoverboard, they had the right to a longer ride because they did not need an initiation. It was a good time for them, and I left them in complete confidence. I recommend this activity and will look into the other proposals for the next time. A big thank you to the team

Written by Nicolas, on 03-11-2019

We had the luxury of being very few in number, the guide took the time to explain to us how the hoverboard works and he was attentive during the course, especially on our safety. Very nice! Small disappointment because the guide knew absolutely nothing about Paris, he could not inform us at all about the name of the buildings or the bridges. I would have expected a tour coupled with tourist explanations.

- Seduction activity for teens

Written by Catherine Damay, on 01-11-2019

The weather was gray and it was the month of August, then inevitably we had right to a privileged ballade, because we were only two! We appreciated it very much, as well as the kindness of our guide... Not at ease in overboard I could make the ballade in electric scooter, and this flexibility is a plus. I recommend it for young and old.

- Great time!

Written by Pascal BOURGOUIN, on 29-08-2019

Great welcome from the provider. Especially since we were only my son and me. I was afraid of a cancellation but they were very careful with us. Little apprehension at the beginning but my grip (in foot!) is easily done. Very playful... but my legs were a bit stiff after an hour. Nice ride on the edge of the stage (Paris beach area) with a passage in a totally deserted area to have fun taking speed. A really good experience that I don't regret...

A first experience in overboard. Appointment in front of the store which does not pay mine (but in full move). Our hostess, a bit reserved at the beginning, explains us the machine and the protections. Small group of about ten people. 1 minute walk from a place sheltered from cars: ignition, boarding and ... forward. Our hostess relaxes and will be of a boundless sympathy during all the walk. A beautiful ballad in edge of the Seine, neither too long nor too short. We wait for the latecomers less at ease, we meet again at precise points? An excellent first experience, to recommend certainly...

- What a great experience

Written by Patrick BASSINOT, on 06-08-2019

Very good supervision because I had never done it before. After a few learning exercises in a safe place, we went to the edge of the docks. A great excursion with the family with very good memories. Still too short. I really recommend this original activity which offers another way to approach the quays of the Seine.

- Very nice!

Written by Alyssia de GERLACHE, on 06-08-2019

I had already done some but the walk along the docks is great. We learned in a group but afterwards I was able to do it alone at my ease. I had a very good time and I keep a very good memory of it!

- Lack of professionalism

Written by S. G. on 04-08-2019

The course for the handling of the hoverboard is effective, the advice is good to quickly get by with the hoverboard. What I didn't like is that one of our hoverboards ran out of battery at the beginning of the ride, that we waited quite a long time for it to be replaced, the ride was not extended to compensate for the waiting time nor was any commercial gesture proposed. One part of the walk is nice along the Seine, the other part in a tunnel. Despite these disappointments, it is a nice discovery. However, considering the price of the service, one can expect a better quality of service.
