| Our family did the Segway tour as a group (children are teen-age) and we all enjoyed it tremendously. The tour was well-run, and the tour guide (Adam) was really good at providing tour-guide information, but balancing it with our desire to just ride for the fun of it..... He kept a good eye on the less confident riders, and provided lots of hints to help us adjust to the machines.
The actual mechanics of the Segway were pretty easy to master - we were given a couple of minutes of one-on-one instruction, followed by several minutes of practice in a protected area, and that's really all we needed to feel pretty comfortable with the riding. The tour through Grant park provides really cool views of the city, and allows you to travel a lot more of the lakefront than could be managed on a walk. We picked a bright, sunny day, and it was equally fun for all of us. |

| I've always wanted to ride a Segway. I hoped I might get 5 or 10 minutes on one, but when we got the chance for two hours, we couldn't wait to sign up and go.
There was a short orientation video that explained the device and its safety features (and safety measures). The Segway is full of technology that really makes it safe and easy to ride.
We went across the street to the park where our tour guide, Sarah (she was fabulous) explained how to get on and drive the Segway. Though it looked simple, she came to each one of us individually, started our units, made sure got on o.k., and then made helped as as we went forward, backward, and in reverse. We then had some free time to drive in the perfect area to get acclimated to the Segway. Within minutes we found the Segway so easy and intuitive to drive I could hardly believe it. It is nimble, agile, and so well balanced it is amazing. I think you'd have to be quite uncoordinated to not be able to maneuver this thing.
Anyway, we had a nice tour of a variety of attractions and our tour guide gave us some nice information about the area. I couldn't have enjoyed my time more! |

| We had a great time on our Segway Experience Tour. It was a great way to find out about what Chicago has to offer for parks and museums. Our guide Adam was very friendly and patient, and gave us valuable and interesting information. I will (and already have) recommend the Segway Experience Tours to anyone I know who is planning a visit to Chicago. |

| Training was good, and the tour was great. Our guide never seemed to hurry us at any time, and was very good about making sure everyone was (safe) and having fun. We really got more than our money's worth. A great experience and super was to tour the city. Thanks for a great time. |

| This was a great experience for us, we got to cruise around the city as if we were walking, yet able to go to places in a short time with the Segways. Never having been on a Segway before, it only took 5 minutes (or less) for each of us (two adults and one 13-year-old) to become acclimated and comfortable zipping around on the Segways. Tour guides were very friendly and pleasant, and full of info about the sights. In all, an excellent outing and well worth the money. |

The entire experience was great.

| The instructor couldn't have been better! The route was fantastic and showed us views of Chicago from new perspectives. The technology of the Segway is just incredible. We will take the tour again and have already recommended it to several friends and associates... |
