| just riding on a segway for 2 hrs was really fun. Going down the lakefront and coming back the gold coast was a great way to see 2 sides of the city. Most fun I've had on a tour of chicago. My 12 year old had no problem getting up and going and he had a blast. Over all a great time, smiled the whole 2 hours on the segway. |

Great family activity.

| I went with my Mother (77), my sister ( 48) , and myself (51) as part of our first annual Mother/Daughter weekend. It was great to share the experience of riding the Segway . The Segway was an easier way to see the city sites than walking for miles. We can't wait to go again!! |

| After a few minutes riding my Segway, it seemed that it could read my mind! Turning, stopping and starting seemed second nature. I highly recommend the North Tour. This was a great way to see parts of Chicago that I would otherwise have missed. Our tour guide (Ed) was great and the ride, fabulous! Enjoy! My daughter and I agree that this was a highlight of our Chicago trip. |

| Our family loves to participate in as many activities as we can while we're on vacation and thankfully, there was this Segway tour!!! I have two boys who don't do the "museum thing" so finding this tour was great! We were able to do something physical and also discover Chicago again (my husband and I went to school in Chicago). Our tour guide was great, very patient and the weather was perfect. I raved about this tour to everyone and I may even buy a Segway.
The only awkward thing: riding along lakeshore with annoyed cyclists shouting at you! |

| I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked the tour but my 16 year old daughter and I both walked away pleasantly surprised. It did not take long at all for us to feel comfortable on the Segway. In addition to enjoying the novelty of buzzing around on the Segway, our tour guide, Alex, did a great job of keeping us entertained and safe on our journey. |

| This is not so much a tour as an excuse to ride around Chicago's lakeside area on a Segway. That was actually perfect for us. I'm sure the tour guide could answer conventional questions but nobody in our group of 7 asked any, and we saw a few offbeat sights and had a great time riding along the lake front, through some parks, and along city streets. The Segways are almost shockingly easy to ride and it's a great way to get around. Wear comfortable shoes! Even though you aren't walking you are on your feet for 2 hours straight. |

Anxiety relieved!

| Was excited about this tour, but after viewing the video was a bit anxious! The young man who did the training session was patient and reassuring and before I knew it, I felt like a pro. What a great tour. |

| Riding a Segway was a blast. Our guide was fantastic. He took time to make sure you felt comfortable. You are given some time to practice riding the Segway. I was with two friends and there were four other people in our group. As we made our way north of Navy Pier, our guide (Omar) was helpful and pleasant. He was not bothered if you needed a little extra coaching and his attitude made the day even more pleasant. There were a few people who do not like the Segways on the sidewalks/bike path but most people were fascinated and asked questions. Two hours was a good time span. All in all, a great time. |
