| I lived in Chicago for over 20 years and learned new things on this tour. Riding a Segway gives you a different perspective -- you can see things at 'View Level'. |

| My friends and I were in Chicago for our friend's bachelor party. I, being the best man, had the duty of coming up with activities to occupy us before the drinking fest began that night, so I thought it would be cool to learn how to ride a segway. At first, we were asked to put on these dorky looking hats and a bright yellow vest, which were not appealing at all. However, once we started learning how to ride a segway, all of us forgot about the helmet and the vests and really enjoyed ourselves. Being on a segway was comparable to skiing, only this time you are weaving in and out of people, cars, tree branches, etc. We were taking our tour during St. Patrick's day weekend, right before the huge parade and during the dying of the river, so we had to weave in an out of people (which was so much fun b/c it really tested your skills on the segway) plus we got girls that came up to us and began to flirt with us simply because we were on segways....by far, the most fun activity we performed that day while we were still sober. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! |

| The Segway Experience delivered exactly what it promised; we received far more personalized attention than on a bus tour and covered more ground than on a walking tour. Our small group was far more intrigued by gliding with the segways than taking in the sights. Nevertheless, Mike was a phenomenal guide: patient, knowledgeable, and friendly--not to mention good looking!
I highly recommend the Park Glide Tour. It is a phenomenal way to take in Chicago's museum district regardless of the season! |

| I chose a segway tour primarily because I have been on a segway before and loved it and also because I was time limited and had a small window of 1.5 days to see & experience Chicago. I felt the segway tour was a quick and fun way to see the major sights and I didn't want to do the conventional tour-guided bus thing.
I had a really great time scooting across Chicago on a Segway. It is actually quite stable and easy to control if you remember to make slow & controlled body movements forwards and backwards ( I tried to play around a bit and when you jolt it too much it can shut-down... so just play by the rules).
The scientists out there will really appreciate the mechanism and physics involved in how this segway operates.
The speed limiting on the segway is a good idea for those rev heads who have a tendency to speed and like the smell of burning rubber...so basically the speed of the segway won't scare you, if anything you will want to go faster at times but generally the pace is good & safe, especially since the track at times has downward slopes....perfect for the superman within!
The segway tour was great as I would not have walked to the places we stopped at and it gave me a great perspective of the Chicago City in a short timeframe. It was a very cold and snowing day so it was freezing, which at times was a little uncomfortable but they can provide snow suits, otherwise dress warm if your doing it in the winter.
In summary a great tour with great guides in a fabulous city. Good for all ages, keep the child within!!! Go Segway!! |

| This was our second Segway tour. We had a great time and the one member of our family who had not been on the previous tour wants to know when we can go on another. Highly recommend! |

| This was one of the most enjoyable tourist activities i've ever done. It was a fabulous way to see the highlights of Chicago and learn a bit of history while cruising on a segway. We had three young adults with us and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience too. We will definitely be looking for segway tours in other cities that we visit. |
