| Matt showed us a great tour and had some great information on Chicago, its buildings, and history. The segways could use a little of repairs/upgrades. |

A very good experience!

| I only had 1 full day to spend in Chicago and I wanted to get the most out of it. (Actually, I only had the morning since I had an afternoon appointment.) There were a lot of tours available from the double decker buses to the boat tours, I decided to go with the segway tour since I always wanted to try it out!
It was a very good experience and learning to ride was not that difficult. You just need to follow the tips given by the guide and you'll be ok, just remember not to be over excited with maneuvering because it takes some time getting used to it. (They give you practice time anyway.) The segway is a magnificent machine, very innovative!
Our guide gave a very good tour of the Chicago skyline, history and great tidbits on various things. It was a good ratio also as we were 8 to 1 guide, made it more personalized.
I really enjoyed my tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone I know. It made me want to get a Segway, but maybe sometime in the future. : ) |

| The Segway tour started and ended on time. Adequate instruction was provided to make sure all participants felt comfortable on the Segways. Our group guide was helpful, couteous, and had a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend this activity to anone who wants a close-up view of the lakeshore around Grant Park and the museums. I am looking forward to trying the other Chicago Segway Tours. The participation fee is steep, but well worth it. |

Really fun!
Great for those either from the Chicago area or for out-of-towners.
Our guide (Laura) was very knowledgable, fun and friendly, and patient as I was learning how to operate the Segway-- plus she sure knows how to handle her machine like second nature. Our guide also was very good at leading a group of newbies around-- even with the extra number of "tourists" because of the Taste of Chicago going on. |

| Wow. Riding a Segway is a thrill. I can't believe they haven't caught on more than they have. I may have to be the first Segway owner in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Andrew, our coach, guide, docent, whatever you want to call him, was a trip. He was, first, conscientious, safety oriented and helpful; and second, he was fun, intelligent, Opinionated, and a hoot.
And of course, there is the city of Chicago. What a wonderful playground for things like Segway adventures.
When I return, I will definitely book another tour; the same one would be just fine for me.
I should mention that my experience booking the tour with Zerve was a pleasure. I would book any tour they were the agent for through them again. |

| When I was given the opportunity to visit Chicago for a few days, I conducted internet research of the city's offerings to plan an itinerary. It was through this research that I learned of the Segway Experience of Chicago Park Glide Tour. A moderate sports enthusiast and seeker of new experiences, I was eager to try a Segway tour.
In spite of having a strong desire to ride a Segway, I was initially a bit nervous and awkward in its use. I was too stiff and my movements jerky. But with a little practice I became more relaxed and fluid. I am grateful to Andrew our tour guide, as he was both patient and instructive. He even offered to take photos of me on my Segway along the way, something I appreciated as a solo tourist.
I highly recommend a Segway tour, and this outfitter in particular. This Segway tour was both fun and informative. My thanks to the Segway Experience of Chicago team.

| It's not as hard as you might think. the instructor was very good and ensured we not only got the hang of the Segway but also that we were safe.
I would highly recommend it as you not only get informative commentary on the sites around Grant Park etc but it's great fun as well. |
