| - Let me start this review off by saying that Scoot City is freakin' amazing! Highly recommended for anyone whose going to Vegas. Gorgeous views. Great guides. Fun scooters. Go! Now!
The day started off when our tour guide, Jonathan, texted my girlfriend letting us know that he was outside our hotel lobby to pick up our group of 6. He drove us down to their headquarters where they has the scooters parked in rows waiting for us. We each paired up and picked our scooters. My girlfriend and I got one with the Union Jack on the windshield. They were awesome. Jonathan, joined by the other guide Justin, gave us a rundown of safety rules and showed us how to turn our scooters on and off. It's all very simple and driving the scooters is nice and easy. After a few minutes of getting used to it, I was zipping along with the wind through my hair.
Once we started rolling, we went through some local roads. We would often have people honk at us with wide smiles and we would honk back. We reached a scenic byway, where we had to drive in the bike lane. The bike lane was pretty narrow and it was a little freaky when cars would pass on our left side. But after a few minutes of that, you get used to it.
We entered Red Rock Canyon park and the tour started to get really fun and amazing. The roads started winding up and around the rocks, making driving these scooters a blast. The views were unparalleled. My girlfriend was next to me clicking away on her camera, taking as many pictures as possible.
We made 3 stops throughout the tour. I forgot where exactly they were, but they all had gorgeous views. We were at each stop for around 10-20 minutes. I wish that were at the stops for a little longer. At one stop, we hiked down the side of a hill and jumped on one of the bigger boulders we saw. It was fun, but hiking back up the hill was torture. I'm fat, so maybe that was it. When we got into our scooters, Justin would give us a brief overview of the trip that was ahead of us to the next stop. Letting us know if it was uphill, downhill, if there were any obstacles we should look out for. They made me feel really safe and really prepared.
Speaking of prepared, we went on this tour in the end of February, and we were not prepared for the cold. Luckily, they offered blankets to keep us as warm as we could. I would highly recommend bringing a hat, gloves and something to protect your face from the wind that will be smacking you in the face.
Once we drove through the park hitting those 3 stops, we drove back to the headquarters going back through the scenic byway and local streets. We all hopped in a van and Jonathan drove us back to the hotel.
Like I said in the beginning of the review, Scoot City is amazing and one of the best tours I have ever been on. Book your tour now! You will love it!
