| What a great venue to be able to see the city from. Of course our group was having so much fun zooming around on the Segway's, I think if not for our trusted guide, we would of forgotten to "look up". Our guide was very knowledgable and also afforded us the opportunity to go at our own pace. For what you get, the price is very reasonable. We plan on doing another Segway tour soon.
This is another one of those activities that you can bring a group of friends along to and have a blast at...like we did. :-) |

| From the beginning to the very end we loved it. My kids(21,19 and 17) didn't even mind the flourescent safety vest we had to wear. They thought it was funny!. Being on the segway was just such a great feeling. We're now going to do it in any city we're in that offers a tour. It was a great way to see alot of Chicago at once. Tim, our guide was terrific and kind of let us guide him as to how much or how liittle info we wanted. One of the best things we did while in Chicago! |

| The Segway was easy and quick to learn. It practically wants to stand straight up by it self. With five minutes of practice you're ready to go. In another ten minutes you are pratically a pro. The machine is amazing.
The tour along the lake front from Navy Pier to North Beach and on into Streeterville offered a beautiful view of Lake Michigan, the city, Lincoln Park, and the neighborhood of the North side.
Our guide was able to supply use with historical information about various parks, statues, buildings of Chicago, homes such as the McCormic mansion, and the city.
My wife and I really enjoyed the tour and would do it again. |

| Our tour guide Dereck was very helpful and informative. Seeing this part of the lake front and the gold coast neighborhood was interesting. We had taken the southern tour to the museum campus last year and also found that great. We liked the new Segway machines. Easier to steer. |

| Ed (tour guide) and Mike (working the counter) were both very personable and professional.
My wife and I hadn't used a Segway before our tour and wouldn't take another tour in Chicago (at least on a weekend). Evidently the Segway's are supposed to stay off the bike paths, but with the volume of walkers and runners along the lake, it was far too congested for Segway novices, the lake was way too close as well. The return trip was primarily on sidewalks which were also congested and not to mention the number of ramps and inclines on this tour, I lost track of the number of streets we crossed with each one seemed to bring new challenges with the crowds. The first time we relaxed on the tour was when it was over. I would not recommend this tour for a first time Segway user, we were thankful to be on the first tour of the day, I can not imagine how crowded Navy Pier was later in the day. |

| This was one of the funnest tours we have ever been on. We learned a lot and enjoyed riding the Segways at the same time. Thank you so much for a wonderful time. |

| Our family is not overly active outdoors, but the idea of "scootering" around the city without walking was certainly a desire and temptation. We used these reviews as our basis for deciding to try the Segway experience at Navy Pier. Our instructor had us all feeling comfortable with the Segways in about 10 min, and by the end of the excursion, we were all zipping along like experts. We saw parts of Chicago that a tourist would never see. A very fun activity and one the family will remember for a long time! |

| The trip was good the tour guide was good. the only thing is that the two works asked for tips. twice and i do understand that they are to required but they should really not ask me to times. if they did a good trip then they shouldn't have to ask for them.
Thank you |
