| This tour was a ton of fun. My wife and I took the tour basically to ride the segway. It was easy to learn and fun to ride. Our guide was a really nice guy and we all had a good time. |

| I e-mailed my concerns and vocalized them as well (apprehensive) and was assured this was a safe and fun activity. Our guide (Ed) was fabulous in training as well as his tour of Chicago.
However, before our trip I asked Ed what would happen if "someone" was slower than the rest of the group. He said that anyone who felt nervous should go to the front of the group. My friend and I began in that position, but were quickly passed by a family with a young child that verbalized they "wanted speed."
Near the end of the tour, we went down a steep ramp under Lake Shore Drive. At that point, I was at the end of the group and had an accident. I am not blaming Ed, who was very compassionate and helpful, but I had previously made it clear that I was not comfortable (especially going down ramps).
I would book another Segway tour (WITHOUT RAMPS/HILLS) but I would suggest that your guides/booking agent should listen to the concerns (written and oral) of their participants. |

| As our kids (grown with kids) ease my wife and I into the new millennium, with iPods and the like, I find it refreshing to be able to boast to them of something that is definitely new tech that they know nothing of. The entire experience was great and as our guide took pictures of us with our camera, he kept saying smile; no problem as it turned out that I had a smile on my face for the full 2 hours. |

| My husband & I joined two of our close friends for a day in the city. We're from Buffalo Grove and we wanted to have a day in Chicago just like tourists! I was fairly nervous that I would be the one that wouldn't be able to navigate on the Segway as I'm known to be somewhat clumsy! After about 10-15 minutes of instruction from 2 very patient guides - Sara and Derek; I mastered the Segway much to my surprise! We all had such a fabulous time seeing the city from such a different perspective. Derek made it interesting and fun - we didn't want it to end! I can't believe I'm saying this, but it was easy!!! If we had tried to cover the same area on foot; it would have easily taken 4 hours instead of 2. What a fun way to experience Chicago!!! Thanks for the memories! |

| I had been wanting to do a Segway tour somewhere for quite a while. Timing worked out that I could do it in Chicago. It was a good choice - Derek (the tour guide) is knowledgeable, fun, thoughtful, and attentive. He showed us the things we expected, and a few we didn't (that's good :) ).
The equipment was in good shape, the service was excellent, and the whole experience was a pleasure. |

| It was incredibly fun to ride Segways and our tour was fantastic. We rode north along the beach from Navy Pier. I highly recommend this particular tour for people who don't want to stop and discuss different buildings as much as they want to simply enjoy the scenery. We had our two children with us who are 14 and 16 and it was perfect. Though we live in the Chicago area this was a really enjoyable way to see the city in a new way. |

| Our Segway tour guide was GREAT! (Derick) He was friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. There were only 6 of us total and he took us to interesting places. We are from Valparaiso, but got to see a lot of Chicago that we had never seen before. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you Segway Experience of Chicago!! |

| It was an excellent way to see parts of Chicago that would have taken you days to tour. The guides are professional and the segways safe and durable. I would recommend this activity to any and all who have a short period of time to visit but want to see it all. |

| Mike was our segway tour guide and he did a terrific job of teaching us how to operate and enjoy our segways. The tour of Lincoln Park, the zoo, Gold Coast and Lake Shore Drive was wonderful, we saw parts of Chicago not often visited. I would like more information about the architecture and history of chicago but he did a nice job of keeping us entertained. I have recommended this to other friends! |
