| There is no better way to see and enjoy Chicago's beautiful lakefront on a
pleasant Spring Sunday afternoon. Our group was small enough at 8 riders
to be able to keep together, even when traveling through heavy foot traffic on
Michigan Avenue, Our guide, Sarah, was a patient, confident young lady who
took the time to be sure all her riders felt secure enough in handling the Segway
before taking off on our tour. She worked with each person individually and
then had us practice as a group.
The Segway is an amazing riding experience. It is so responsive that it almost
seems to anticipate what you want to do -- stops on a dime and twirls in place.
What fun! A wonderful ride and a great experience. Well worth the money! |

| I love to do new things and when I heard about the Segway tour I knew my wife and I had to do it. I'm the adventurer and my wife is the reluctant follower; she was, to say the least, skeptical. By the time we completed our tour, with our group leader David, she was going on about how we could present the tour to our adult children as gifts and, she was grinning from ear-to-ear! She loved it and so did I. We recommend it as a "MUST DO" when visiting Chicago. Special kudos to David...he was fantastic!! |

| At first, we were worried that we may have balance issues in learning how to ride the Segway, but we were pleasantly surprised how easy it was. Dave, our tour guide, was extremely patient and full of good humor. Even with our clumsy first attempts, he was understanding and actually made learning fun. I would enthusiastically recommend this experience to everyone, no matter the age. The park scenario was perfect. We were able to tour the whole park and feel the fresh air without getting tired. |

Fun experience, they were very accomodating

| The guide did a good job of instructing us on the Segway. It is not difficult, but you need to know some basics before you start. The guide was well informed about the sights we passed and took precausions to keep us together. We had a private tour and saw things we might not otherwise have seen. |

On my lifetime list of things to do!

| This was such fun. Being a "local", I was more interested in riding the machine than seeing the parks. Our route was just an added bonus. I wondered if I would be able to operate the Segway and I quickly learned that it was not that difficult. Yes, there was that original hesitancy which I overcame. I was in control. The next day I did have a few achey muscles caused by my own tension, but it was well worth the experience. If I can do it, anyone can do it! |

| We had a wonderful time from start to finish. Check-in and training were smooth & simple. The Segways were easy to operate. Our guide, June was fantastic - very friendly, considerate and knowledgeable. A great outing for everyone in our group, including the teenagers. We'll do this again when we return to Chicago! |

| Learning to operate the segway was much easier than I thought and it was so much more fun than riding a tour bus!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun. Later when taking a cab from downtown I was amazed to see the amount of area that we covered and everything I had learned about the city.
I would recommend this to any age group. A great way to see the area and have fun doing it! |

| We have lived in the Chicago area for over 20 years and the segway tour ranks as one of our top 5 Chicago adventures!! It was a blast! We saw parts of Chicago that we didn't even know existed. The segways are easy to use! Our college son and his fraternity brother raved and raved about the experience! My husband and I now plan on taking all of our out-of-town guests on this tour. We are also planning on making this a "couples" event in the near future with some of our friends.
Definitely an experience not to miss!!
Our tour guide Derek was also awesome! He provided interesting facts about the city and the sites we segway'd past, but, left us alone also so that we could enjoy ourselves. Terrific guy!
Thanks again! |
