| The Segway tour was one of the highlights of our Chicago trip. My daughter's friend visited from England and she and my daughter (both nearly 14) truly enjoyed it. The people did a great job of training us and were very safety concious. |

| This was one of the best City tours I have ever been on. The Segways are so much fun, and our guide (Adam) was very helpful and knowledgable, especially for someone who had only been touring for two months! He also coped extremely well with a very annoying group (they were all one party except me), and when one of the Segways broke down, he swapped it for his, and walked all the way back from Museum Park!
Well done Adam - and I look forward to doing the Navy Pier tour soon! |

| This was the most fun. Learning to ride the Segway was easy. And buzzing around the Chicago lakefront was a blast. We had a small group of 4, from 15 to 65 years old. All took to the Segway like a duck to water. Our guide was awesome! No "canned tour, shut up and listen", she gave us what we wanted and was a joy to be around. This is a MUST DO event. I have a friend from home who is Chicago bound in 3 weeks. He's already planning to do this. |

Great Fun! Don't miss this.

| I lived in Chicago for over 20 years and learned new things on this tour. Riding a Segway gives you a different perspective -- you can see things at 'View Level'. |

| I chose a segway tour primarily because I have been on a segway before and loved it and also because I was time limited and had a small window of 1.5 days to see & experience Chicago. I felt the segway tour was a quick and fun way to see the major sights and I didn't want to do the conventional tour-guided bus thing.
I had a really great time scooting across Chicago on a Segway. It is actually quite stable and easy to control if you remember to make slow & controlled body movements forwards and backwards ( I tried to play around a bit and when you jolt it too much it can shut-down... so just play by the rules).
The scientists out there will really appreciate the mechanism and physics involved in how this segway operates.
The speed limiting on the segway is a good idea for those rev heads who have a tendency to speed and like the smell of burning rubber...so basically the speed of the segway won't scare you, if anything you will want to go faster at times but generally the pace is good & safe, especially since the track at times has downward slopes....perfect for the superman within!
The segway tour was great as I would not have walked to the places we stopped at and it gave me a great perspective of the Chicago City in a short timeframe. It was a very cold and snowing day so it was freezing, which at times was a little uncomfortable but they can provide snow suits, otherwise dress warm if your doing it in the winter.
In summary a great tour with great guides in a fabulous city. Good for all ages, keep the child within!!! Go Segway!! |

| Had a great time. I was in town for the marathon and wanted to spend some time sight-seeing (but without much walking) so the Segway tour was a perfect choice. Training was quick and easy. By the end of the second hour everyone in the group was traveling with ease and confidence. No one wanted to stop at the end of the tour. Tour guide (Jeff) was friendly, helpful, and patient. Great fun! |

| This is a great way to get around town, experience something new and share it all with friends or strangers. Definitely gives you something to write home about. Tour guides are fun, informed and very helpful. |

| Just my sister-in-law and I, but we had a great time on the segways. A little intimidated after viewing the video, but once on the segways and with a little practice, we had a great time. Would definitely do it again and recommend it to friends to give it a try. |

| The tour was terrific and riding the Segway was awesome. Katie did an excellent job of leading us around and filling us in with local history and lore. |
