| My husband & I had a GREAT time on the Segway Tour. They were very easy to learn how to use & were very fun to ride once we got the hang of it. The tour itself was interesting & we were able to see many sites. The battery on my Segway died when we were almost at the end of the tour, but the guides were able to get a replacement to me within minutes, and in the meantime, I rode one of the guides' Segways. VERY fun & interesting, I recommend it to people of all ages & abilities! Staff couldn't be nicer or more friendly! |

| We had a ball riding on the segways although the speed limiter was frustrating at times. The route for our architectural tour was exactly what we were looking for. The part that was only okay was the fact that our docent didn't realize that we were local and therefore new much of what she was telling us. On top of that she read from notes much of the time while we were in the museum campus area and that took away from it all. Her knowledge of the buildings/statues on Michigan Avenue was high. |

| The architectural tour is more appropriate for adults. We had a kid on our tour. He was bored and not interested in the lectures. He did not follow the guides instructions. He was a bit dangerous to have around. Age limit should be increased from 12. |

| You couldn't have asked for a better day to have the tour. I thought it was great that there was a practice area where a couple groups could get oriented with the segways. Because of the Taste, there was some disorganization as to where we could and couldn't go. The museum campus was nice, but it was too bad we couldn't go any more north of Jackson. The architecture guide, Stan, was knowledgeable on the buildings. He didn't talk much about any of the other buildings outside of michigan avenue or east randolph which was fine, but Chicago has so much more architecture to offer than just that. We made it down early, but there was no Walgreens nearby that we could find. One suggestion... I was surprised when the guide said he didn't have any sunscreen in his first-aid kit. |

| It was wonderful to tour so much of the museum campus area. We could never have covered that much ground on foot, and if we had been on a bus, we could not have seen so many things up front.
The Segway instruction was great, and the machines were incredibly easy to use- they became extensions of our bodies. |

| After having seen people glide effortlessly on Segways, my daughters, granddaughter and I looked forward to enjoying the same fun experience in Chicago. The entire tour was delightfully entertaining, informative and well-organized. The thirty-minute training session enabled us to ride out in confidence and pleasure to the beautiful environs of parks, museums and other interesting places. Even in the rain, our docent and tour guide led us on an incredibly enjoyable experience. Seeing the beauty and enjoying the gorgeous sights of Lake Michigan while gliding along on a Segway was one of the highlights of our visit to Chicago. I highly recommend the tour for locals and tourists. |

| The Segway experience is a great way to get otherwise reluctant teens to "play tourist." That was great and I'd recommend it to anyone. Our docent was very nice but didn't have much information to provide. She was constantly looking at her notes (or trying to find her notes) and, in the end, was little more than a traffic cop. I would have liked someone more knowledgeable guiding the tour. |
