| 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. |

| Segways are remarkable machines and easy to ride. We highly recommend the Architecture Foundation trip as adding an additional element to the enjoyment of riding the Segways. |

Fun but not easy.

| While my wife was getting acquainted with a second, slower Segway, she missed the warning about approaching uneven cracks in the sidewalk at a right angle. She fell, got hurt and gave up the tour. Meanwhile, I had fun but found myself exhausted with the new nervousness I felt about the many uneven surfaces that our tour crossed. So it was fun but tiring for me and humbling for my wife. |

| 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. |

| This is just great! The Segway isn't very hard to master and once you do it is a blast. And the tour covers lots of interesting (and level) ground. |

| I was born and raised in Chicago but have lived in S. California for many years. The tour was great as all of your tours are. The Segway was fun and enabled us older but still active folks to cover a lot of distance without being exhausted. I would take another in a heartbeat.
The only thing I wish we could get is an out line of the things we are seeing so I could name my photographs. Could you help me with a couple I can't identify after searching online? |

| We've been to Chicago at least a dozen times and have been to all the Museums (multiple times) and have taken several architectural tours but this was really something special, something unique. It was one of the most enjoyable things we've ever done since we first started visiting several years ago. We were surprised how easy it was to learn to drive and maneuver the Segway assigned to each of us. We aways felt safe and never worried about our abilitries to manage it properly. However, the thing that made it special was the docant - stopping and listening to the history he provided along the way made it more enjoyable than simply riding from here to there to someplace else. He pointed out things that we'll now go back to on our own and take and look at in a more appreciative way. Not to mention - we can't wait to try it again. |

| We had a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide who pointed out the statues, fountains, and major buildings in Grant Park.
The Segway was easy to learn and great fun to ride, a unique and memorable morning. |

| My daughter and I really enjoyed our recent Segway Tour. The weather was perfect and our docent extremely knowledgeable. Would love to do it again! |
