| Quick mastery of Segway riding made for a pleasant, fun and entertaining tour of Grant Park area. Jeff, the tour guide, was very knowledgable and provided historical and current facts that were even interesting to our 16 year old! We covered a lot of ground and had a blast! Highly recommend! |

| 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'. |

| Josiah was an excellent tour guide, patient with younger kids and experienced. The address to your shop should have a plot plan along with the ACTUAL address. The address you give is confusing and could cause someone to miss their tour and lose their money. The tour was fun and I recomment it. |

| We very much enjoyed our tour with Mike . He was informative and very charming. The segways are fun after a short learning period. I was only a bit sore the next day. I highly recommend it especially if you want to please your teens.!! |

| Had a great time. I was in town for the marathon and wanted to spend some time sight-seeing (but without much walking) so the Segway tour was a perfect choice. Training was quick and easy. By the end of the second hour everyone in the group was traveling with ease and confidence. No one wanted to stop at the end of the tour. Tour guide (Jeff) was friendly, helpful, and patient. Great fun! |

| The staff had a great manner working with first-time Segway riders--all the way from the sign in on out. The training period was very good but I could see it was tedious for one person who was on her third Segway tour...wish they had an "advanced" tour where you didn't need a half-hour instruction period. The tour was well-arranged with the various stops/points of interest being explained well. I thought, however, that we stopped too much and we didn't have adequate opportunity simply to ride the Segway without interruption. However, this was a GREAT experience to enjoy in Chicago and I have recommended it to family and friends. My wife and I would likely take another Segway tour in the context of introducing another couple to it but, if it were just the two of us, we would want a more advanced experience, as noted above. |

| We had seen the Segway tours along the lakefront during a previous visit and wanted to remember to do one the next time we visited. We made a trip back in early October and I booked the tour before leaving for the city.
Once getting there, I and my 14 year old daughter located the store and starting point for the tour. The staff was great in getting the paperwork going and starting briefing on riding the Segway. I'm sure my daughter had no doubt that she could do it but as a 55 year dad, I had some concerns. We wheeled the Segways across Michigan Ave. to the park, and after only 10 minutes of assistance and early moves, we were off on our tour, very comfortable and confident in our riding.
The two guys from the store that were our guides were very helpful in our ride, very informative in their narration of what we were seeing along the lakefront (parks, fountain, museum, aquarium, Soldier Field, Millenium Park, Art Institute). By the end of the ride, both my daughter and I were confortably zipping along, weaving between posts and trees, having a wonderful ride and view of the city.
This is the best of a walking tour of a great area of one the best cities in America, along with a chance to try a completely new mode of transportation that is as fun as anything that I've driven or ridden. Five stars! |
