| The only reason to take this tour is to have fun on a segway for about 2 hours. |

Segways are the coolest things!

| This is a great way to see Chicago! I took seven cousins there on a Friday before a Saturday wedding and we all had a blast! The hosts were great. They were very friendly, laid back, and pretty much let our group do what we wanted. There were plenty of opportunities to go "off the beaten path" a litle and enjoy the segways. My only suggestion is to have the hosts talk in more detail about city sights and trivia. When compared to what you learn on the riverboat tour, you get less information on the Segway tour. If they firmed up their knowledge just a little, it would be perfect. |

| Very enjoyable, the group leader was very informative. One member of the group declined to go on tour. He was worried about issues of balance and falling off the segway. |

| It's not as hard as you might think. the instructor was very good and ensured we not only got the hang of the Segway but also that we were safe.
I would highly recommend it as you not only get informative commentary on the sites around Grant Park etc but it's great fun as well. |

| This was a perfect way to start a Saturday night date and we both thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Our guide and "host" was delightful and although we're native Chicagoans we saw views never before experienced.
The Segway was a blast. After about 4 minutes we felt it was part of us and we were part of it.
Bottom line, we'd do it again...even with the occassional rain...and we'd highly recommend it to anyone. Matter of act we already have! |

| Great fun and a wonderful way to see the waterfront.
The scooters were very easy to learn, even my less athletic daughter picked it up in minutes.
Our facility was equipped with only slightly older models which turn Lt/Rt via a handlebar 'throttle' type control. - worked fine but newer scooters turn by leaning Lt/Rt and tipping the handlebar post. Looks more ergonomic but apparently *some* folks prefer the older style. I wish I had the choice.
Our group had only our family of four - ideal - but groups can range up to 10 or so it appears - might be less fun in such a crowd. (we reserved an early time, perhaps that is a good strategy?)
Great Staff, Omar and Andrew were very helpful. |

| The tour was really funny and interesting. Organization level is pretty good. One moment that confused me is quality of equipment. Segways vehicles looks shabby. |

Best way to tour a new city!

| We had a great time on these Segways! It's the best way to cover a lot of ground up close while riding an interesting gadget. The 2-hour tour of Chicago's Museum Campus and the surrounding areas was awesome!
If you don't get there 15 minutes early, it's not the end of the world - they will still train you on how to use the Segways. It's still advisable to arrive early though. Reserve in advance since timeslots go fairly quickly!
Mike was our guide and he did a great job - though the other people there seemed equally nice. |

| The Segway Experience is a great way to see a lot of Chicago in two hours. Our guide was helpful, friendly and eager to tailor the experience to the needs of the group. A good time was had by all. |
