| Taking the Segway tour was a blast. My 23 year old daughter and I went and although she was a bit apprehensive, it didn't take long until she was right in the front with our guide. I had done it before in another city, but the tour in Chicago was great! |

| We were trained to ride a Segway at Disneyland. Therefore, we were experianced.
I felt the first time rider in our group needed more on board training.
The 1st generation equipment felt antiquated.
Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. |

| We booked a tour on the morning of the 4th of July thinking the Segway tour would be a good way to get an overview of the city. It was but much more. It ended up being one of the highlights of our 5 day trip to Chicago. Beautiful city with very informative dialogue from the tour guide. We highly recommend the Segway Experience Segway tour. |

| My wife and me and our son and daughter-in-law signed up to take the tour together, even though I felt it was a little expensive and was worried that my wife might find it difficult. I was wrong on both counts! We had a great time and with our guide's help everyone quickly learned how to ride. My recommendation is "just do it!' |

| Segaway is an experience on its own. It is hard to compare it to a scooter or alike. It is a chariot with 5 invisible gyroscopic horses but better because after an hour of driving it feels like it is a part of your own body... Surprisingly, the tour was very interesting and informative. Our tour guide Andrew was very knowledgeable and attentive.
A lot of fun for your money. I'll do it again. |

| The main attraction of the tour was to ride the segway, and the experience did not disappoint. The segway is easy to ride and lots of fun. In addition, the tour was informative and showed me great views of the city. You get multiple benefits in this tour. You get the experience of riding a segway and you also receive a tour of part of Chicago. |

| I took my wife and nieces on the Park Glide Tour on a Sunday afternoon, and everyone had a great time. You get comfortable driving the Segways very fast after your training. They don't start the tour until all the riders get enough practice driving them. We had two girls age 14-16 who at first were a little nervous, but quickly got the hang of it. The views of the Chicago skyline and lakefront are spectacular. It's a very memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone. |

| There were 6 of us, two in our 50s and 4 teenagers. Everyone loved the Segways. I thought I might be a little underwhelmed, but Segways are just as much fun as I hoped for. The Grant Park area is a great place for learning how to ride.
Our tour guide was good and informative. I wish he had talked more about the Segway than about Chicago though. For example, who invented the Segway and what were their challenges; when were Segways invented; how much do they cost; why have they not come down in price; how many Segways are there in Illinois, in the US, in the world; what other models are available; what laws are in place regarding Segways, etc.
One other suggestion: it was great to experience a full-speed Segway for a short time near the end of the tour. It would be better to allow us to use our Segways at full-speed the rest of the tour, if insurance would allow it. After over an hour on the Segway, we were all fully capable of handling the increased speed.
Thanks for letting us give our opinion. |

| Wow. Riding a Segway is a thrill. I can't believe they haven't caught on more than they have. I may have to be the first Segway owner in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Andrew, our coach, guide, docent, whatever you want to call him, was a trip. He was, first, conscientious, safety oriented and helpful; and second, he was fun, intelligent, Opinionated, and a hoot.
And of course, there is the city of Chicago. What a wonderful playground for things like Segway adventures.
When I return, I will definitely book another tour; the same one would be just fine for me.
I should mention that my experience booking the tour with Zerve was a pleasure. I would book any tour they were the agent for through them again. |

| Mike & Laura were wonderful tour guides. My son and I had I fabulous time. Our tour guides were very clear and thorough on getting us acquainted with the Segways and also in letting us know about the sites we were visiting. We had a marvelous experience. Thank you. |
