| If the equipment had all been working correctly, this would have been a great trip. The segway is fun to ride, Michael the guide was very fun and informative, but they did not have enough functioning equipment. Two members of the group had to stay back because they ran out of Segways that worked. Plus, toward the end of our ride, another of the Segways failed. The guide gave his to me and he had to walk that one back home. I believe they had overbooked their available equipment and our party had to sacrifice. If you choose to rent there, be sure they don't have a large party booked ahead of you. |

| I took my teenage nieces to Chicago for a special 'secret journey'.. What a great time we had .Mike ,our guide , was great and helpful in learning the ropes with the segway. The route was beautiful , enjoyable and not too difficult. Will take the rest of the family on this adventure . Although it is a litte pricey, it is worth the money.... |

| We took the 5:00PM tour on Venetian night. After a few minutes of simple instruction we were off on our tour from Buckingham Fountain thru Grant Park to the Shedd Aquarium. I was concerned at first because of the crowds gathering for the festival but the segways are easy to steer and control and a wonderful way to sightsee and save your feet. Mike, our guide, was very informative and funny. He kept a close eye on the group and made sure we stayed together. You do not need to possess any special skill or athletic ability to comfortably manuver these vehicles. We will definitely return and will ask for Mike as our guide. Thanks for a unique experience. |

| The Segway Experience was an outstanding ride. After a short learning session, we spent about 1 1/2 hours riding through Grant Park in Chicago. The training was easy. Even my wife quickly took to using the Segway and she is not the most coordinated person around. The tour was led by an interesting guide. The only negative was that our legs were tired after the ride. It seems that slightly leaning forward to make the Segway go is more tiring than it looks. However, the entire experience was outstanding and I would highly recommend it to others; especially if you have teenaged children. We will certainly look for similar Segway tours in other cities. |

| I was taking a friend's son out for the afternoon and the Segway tour came up as an option. I was most excited about it as an idea but I wanted to give my 13 year old companion several choices. It was by far his top choice. . . I couldn't believe we agreed! I was so relieved that we were able to get reservations and do the tour the next day. I wondered if it would be worth the high price. I highly recommend it because it SO was! Riding the segway was surprisingly easy to learn and I think our whole group would probably agree as there were no stragglers or accidents. Our tour guide was nice, patient, & caring in addition to being passionate and knowledgeable about segways and Chicago. If you listened to him you got a fun, safe ride and some interesting trivia which I've already busted out on my friends a few times. My buddy gave the tour a rave review as well. |

| We were a group of 8 mixed men and women, the oldest in our 50's youngest 19. Our guide, Mike, made our tour, from start to finish, very interesting. The instructions to ride a segway were adequate, everyone took to it right away and we all headed off to see the sites. The machines only go about 6 miles an hour for the tour, and can turn on a dime but it would be very hard to fall off since the machine is adjusting constantly to keep your balance. It is quite an experience, everyone in our group had a great time, one of the girls even called a few days later to say thanks again for putting the trip together. |
