| This is a great way to see some of the major landmarks in Chicago with some great views of the skyline and lots of photo opportunities..You could never cover this much ground of foot and gliding around on a Segway is very cool!
Our tour guide Voitek (sp?) was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. |

| We did the tour with the young guide; however, we have forgotten his name. He was incredibly informative and made the last day of our vacation unforgettable. |

| A unique opportunity to try out a segway. Our group leader was friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent teacher or what is a surprisingly easy skill to grasp. |

| What a blast. Riding a Segway was easier than I imagined. Buying the tickets online was a breeze. Everyone at Zerve and the Segway tour was helpful and friendly. I would definitely recomend this to anyone wanting to have a fun and "out of the ordinary" activity!!! |

| 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! |

| The staff had a great manner working with first-time Segway riders--all the way from the sign in on out. The training period was very good but I could see it was tedious for one person who was on her third Segway tour...wish they had an "advanced" tour where you didn't need a half-hour instruction period. The tour was well-arranged with the various stops/points of interest being explained well. I thought, however, that we stopped too much and we didn't have adequate opportunity simply to ride the Segway without interruption. However, this was a GREAT experience to enjoy in Chicago and I have recommended it to family and friends. My wife and I would likely take another Segway tour in the context of introducing another couple to it but, if it were just the two of us, we would want a more advanced experience, as noted above. |

| We had seen the Segway tours along the lakefront during a previous visit and wanted to remember to do one the next time we visited. We made a trip back in early October and I booked the tour before leaving for the city.
Once getting there, I and my 14 year old daughter located the store and starting point for the tour. The staff was great in getting the paperwork going and starting briefing on riding the Segway. I'm sure my daughter had no doubt that she could do it but as a 55 year dad, I had some concerns. We wheeled the Segways across Michigan Ave. to the park, and after only 10 minutes of assistance and early moves, we were off on our tour, very comfortable and confident in our riding.
The two guys from the store that were our guides were very helpful in our ride, very informative in their narration of what we were seeing along the lakefront (parks, fountain, museum, aquarium, Soldier Field, Millenium Park, Art Institute). By the end of the ride, both my daughter and I were confortably zipping along, weaving between posts and trees, having a wonderful ride and view of the city.
This is the best of a walking tour of a great area of one the best cities in America, along with a chance to try a completely new mode of transportation that is as fun as anything that I've driven or ridden. Five stars! |

| This is a definite must for anyone visiting the city. It was not only fun riding around on the Segway’s, but also informative with great views. I was a little skeptical that my parents would be able to ride the Segways, but they caught on right away. The guides were great, very courteous and helpful. |
