| It was a great experience to ride the Segway. The staff took time to instruct us using the vehicles. The ride was leasurly spaced & enjoyable. As far as the architecture part was concerned, the buildings were far in a distance from our ride in Grant park. For "up, close, and personal" building tours you must take a walking tour. |

| The web site told me to be there one half hour before the tour for training. This isn't true. It is to complete 5 min of paper work. In addition, I waited while a different tour had vehicles asssigned to them and left. We didn't leave the offfice until 15 min after the tour was scheduled to leave (45 min after I got there).
To the owner: don't schedule both tours to start at the same time. You don't have the space to accommodate this large a group nor do you have the organization. Really slow start while worker figure out which vehicle to use and them get then unplugged and lined up. This could have all been done before the scheduled tour time!!!! |

| My long time dream of trying a Segway was realized and lived up to every expectation. Our docent was not only knowledgeble, as expected, but had a great sense of humor and knew we really wanted to focus on the Segways. The tour taught a lot about Chicago's history along with architecture. The Segway Tour is a fabulous wedding of an innovative transport system and enjoying the Architectural Foudnation's excellent information delivery system. |

| Our guide was knowledgable and entertaining. The staff gave us clear instructions and were very safety conscious. There were some problems with battery memory but staff members kept their senses of humor. |

| 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. |
