| I had only been on a Segway for a few minutes about four years ago, and my wife had never ridden one. We were in Chicago for the weekend, and decided to take the Grant Park/Museum Park tour. She was frankly terrified at first, and almost bailed. However, thanks to the excellent instruction from our guide, Matt, she quickly overcame her fear. She loved the tour, and so did I. Matt was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, and kept the atmosphere light and friendly. There were only five in our group, including my wife and me. We liked it so much, we plan to do the Navy Pier tour the next time we're back in Chicago. For $75 per person, it's time and money very well spent! |

| We loved the segway tour - it was a new experience, they were fun to ride and we saw some of our favorite parts of Chicago.
A few suggestions though..... the training film was a waste of time and the live training took longer than was needed. So easy to ride and manuever that very little training is actually needed. And we all felt the machines were too slow. We all wanted to go just a little faster. |

| The Segway tour started and ended on time. Adequate instruction was provided to make sure all participants felt comfortable on the Segways. Our group guide was helpful, couteous, and had a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend this activity to anone who wants a close-up view of the lakeshore around Grant Park and the museums. I am looking forward to trying the other Chicago Segway Tours. The participation fee is steep, but well worth it. |

| I had always wanted to try the Segway. The tour guides were professional, informative and detailed in their explanations of operating the Segway. The backdrop of Chicago was fantastic, as we rode along Michigan Avenue, overlooking the lake shore and the Museum Campus. I would recommend this activity, and will certainly come to Chicago and do it again. |

| Well organized, started and ended on time, tour guide made the 2 hours very instructive and fun. Segway was very easy to use-the film makes it seem a little more difficult than it actually is. |

| Even though my son and I live in Chicago, this was a good way to take a day of summer vacation, with a bit of learning Chicago's history of our Lakefront, statues, parks and museums, let alone our growing skyline.
Mike our guide was not only informative , and enthusiastic, but watch-full to our group, a good safe tour, thank you Mike |

| Our guide was very informative and safety conconscious. Had a great time. I would suggest wearing a pair of sturdy shoes since you are standing for quite a while without actually moving your feet. Would defintely recommend this, it was a great time, can cover a lot of ground in very little time. My husband has trouble walking and keeping up so this was a perfect activity for him. |
