| I gave this tour to my husband for a birthday present and we went as a family. Our boys are older teens and took to the Segways immediately. Surprisingly, my husband and I did very well ourselves as the machines are easier to ride than I had imagined. Of course the boys were doing rings around us, but it was such a joy to watch. The tour is wonderful, stopping and explaining many sites in Chicago that we, as local suburbanites, did not even know. Our tour guide, Ed, was very patient and helpful with everyone. I would highly recommend this to anyone, unless you have foot problems, because my husband and I both had foot pain during the tour as we were "clenched" with uncertainty. It was only temporary. Such fun in Chicago! Do it! |

| Segway's are so fun and easy to ride. I would recommend anyone give this a try. It was a great way to see the city and get around quickly through the streets without wearing yourself out. We got to see a lot of city and learn about things that we might not have seen otherwise. |

| This was a wonderful tour for grandparents entertaining grandchildren from out of town. The tour guide was great and riding the Segway is just plain fun. |

| We had a great time on the segway tour. The weather was chilly and overcast but other than that it was a perfectly fun time. My 16-year old son, and 20 and 18 year old daughters thought the helmets and vests were pretty dorky, but as soon as they experienced how much fun it was they were over it. We had a really fun guide Xavier who taught and practiced caution and safety and that was important because we had our 12 year old, too. As much as we were careful and safe we still felt the power of moving along the coast at a comfortable speed that brought excitement and fun during the entire tour! I highly recommend this for a family outing! Family from Milwaukee |

| We had a great time, and our host (guide) did a great job. He really watched out for us and told us how to avoid pitfalls. The only thing I didn't like was that I wasn't dressed properly for it - the weather was awfully cold. Derek (?) gave us time before it started to go and buy sweats to help get a little warmer.
He also had a good knowledge of things I've never known. The most interesting part was about the landfill after he great fire, and how it changed the shoreline!
Thanks for a wonderful time! |

| Although I took the Chicago Park Segway tour in 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed myself, the Navy Pier tour was even better! Starting out, the Navy Pier tour had less street crossings, curb cuts, and busy streets to navigate through and around, than the Park tour, making it easier for a beginner to get acquainted with the Segway. Our tour guide, Derek, allowed all of us to use the faster speed "key," which was fun to use in and around Lincoln Park where there were more straight-aways and less people on the paths. In the 2007 Park tour, only a few riders were allowed to try out the fast mode. |

| My wife & I had always been thinking about riding on a Segway & we finally did it. It truly was a great experience & very easy to operate. Even though we are natives of Chicago we saw parts of the city that we didn't know were there. the ease of the web site to book our tour & the fun going tour guide made it a great activity to participate in.
We strongly recommend it to everyone. |
