In reply to Corinne. There is a canvas and plastic covering on top and on the sides, so you would get less wet than walking---but if the wind was blowing, you would probably get wet. No worse than walking with an umbrella:-)

Irene, These look like a fun way to see a city…especially if it’s raining? Do you think you would get wet?

Nancie,

I can see how it would feel like the Wild West to get into a vehicle like that that wasn’t regulated. This company in Lyon operates in cooperation with the Tourist Bureau.

Best, Irene

What a great way to see a city. In Thailand they have the tuk-tuks. While a novelty, a lot of the drivers are notorious for ripping people off. It would be great if the Thai Tourism Authority got involved/subsidized to set up similar programs around Thailand.

In reply to Len D.. There are clear plastic sides to the vehicle that help catch the wind but provide good visibility. You can also look straight ahead without any obstruction!

Wow! That looks like such a cool way to explore the city!
I’m sure they will be catching on all over Europe soon!
Eileen, is the visibility obstructed at all in the back seat?
