| 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. |

| We booked for the tour for the opportunity to try out a segway as much as to see Chicago's Grant Park. The machines are very intesting, we had plenty of training, and it didn't take long to master.
Our guide was very enthusiastic, and certainly knew her stuff about Chicago.
There were a couple of technical problems with some of the Segways, but they were quickly sorted out and I'm told problems are rare. They extended our tour by half an hour which more than made up for it. |

| I had heard of a few places that do this and these guys were the only authorized company so I went for it. My 19 yr daughter & I did the 2 hr tour on Monday (Memorial Day) and it was a perfect day wetaher wise. The young guy who led our tour was gracious and a great trainer and was very helpful an knowledgable. I will be back with others and use these guys again !!! This is a fun, safe way to see the city... a blast !! |

| There is no better way to take in Chicago's downtown lakefront and environs than the Segway tour. The tour covers much more ground than you could do walking and the view is much better than by car or bus. Plus, you go many places that cars and buses can't. Add to that the fact that riding the Segway is a blast, and you're bound to have fun.
On the downside, it's pretty expensive. And if you reserve ahead of time (tours are sometimes sold out early) you can't cancel because of weather--they go rain or shine, and I suspect tours can be pretty miserable in the rain. It can also be very chilly, so dress way warm! |

| The entire experience was great. Learning the Segway was fun, riding was fun, and the tour was fun. Ask for Andrew as your instructor/guide - he taught us how to ride safely, gave an interesting city tour, and was an all around great ambassador for Chicago and for Segway. I will be doing this again with more friends and family. |

| This was our second experience with a Segway Tour, the other being in Washington D.C. both have been wonderful. The tour guides were informative and definietly put safety first.
As for getting accustomed to riding the Segway that took about 5 minutes. They are incredibly easy to manuever.
We would recommend the experience for everyone. |
