| 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. |

| A lot of elements made this a very enjoyable experience. The Segways were easy to learn, despite the mild fears some of us had. Our guide was informative, attentive and interesting. The Chicago lakefront scenery, of course, is spectacular. The tour was just the right lenght for the first time. Every person in the group had fun. In all, we had a blast. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. |

| Matt was our tourguide and he was super cool. Taught us how to use the segway and was very informative. Even though it was pouring rain, we had a great time. I highly reccomend this to anyone wanting to see the sites of Chi-town. |

| 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. |

| My daughter who is from NYC and I who works locally in Chicago did this tour this August. Learning to handle the Segway was a breeze. Each one only needed about 5 minutes and we were off to do the Lakefront tour. We had already visited the tour spots earlier during the week but we were looking forward to the Segway experience while again looking at the same sites. It's a totally different feeling when you're on a Segway. You feel like you're on top of the world. People also can't help but look at you as you proudly move through the various sites.
The tour leader was very affable. He gave historical background on the various sites that we visited although I wish that he gave a lttle bit more of the unique tidbits for each of the sites instead of just the plain textbook info.
My only gripe is that the tour was pricier for the 2 hour tour as compared to 5$ less for the competitor for 3 hours. We also had the later model Segways with the handgrip navigation instead of the newer models where you tilt the handlebar sideways to turn left or right.
In any case, this is still worth the money for a first timer. |

| our guide provided us with a great introduction to the Segway PT and led us on a fun trip around the city. this tour was a great way to experience the city in a less overwhelming manner and was much easier on the joints after the scheduled two-hour trip. i'd recommend it to anyone looking for a brief peek at some the popular tourist sites in chicago... without all of the associated admission costs. |

| 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. : ) |

| My young teen daughter and I had a blast on our Chicago Park Glide Tour. Not only is Chicago an amazingly beautiul city from the lake front, but seeing it by Segway adds to the thrill. We had a knowledgable guide who was very relaxed in his approach to the tour. The Segway itself is very easy to learn (easier for her) and just heightens the pleasure of the tour experience. |

| My son and I have had "Father/Son Fun Day" each summer downtown for the last 10 years. He is 13 now. This year we tried a Segway tour as part of our day. It was one of the most fun activities we have done in our ten years of outings.
Neither of us had ever ridden a Segway before and we were both a little uneasy about riding one, but our guides did a very good job of teaching my son how to safely operate it and make him comfortable and keeping an eye on him during our tour.
I wish the tour was longer. It was a lot of fun riding the Segway and we will definitely take another tour. Thanks, jk |
