| The weather was terrible, but we had a great time. Our guides were personable and knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed their jobs. $75 sounded steep at first, but if you've never ridden a Segway before, this tour is worth twice that much. Highly, highly recommended! Great "walking tour" for an older person. |

| On the morning of my daughter's wedding, I scheduled a Segway tour for eight:
all out-of-town guests for the wedding.
We needed to change our Segway tour time and Amanda, the office manager, was extremely helpful in following through on our request. She made it possible for us to start the tour early so we could attend the groomsmen's lunch.
There had been some concern (from the wives) that someone might have an accident or be injured on the day of the wedding. I had inquired about the accident rate and been told that it was not an issue.
And it clearly wasn't. The group, ranging in age from 24 to 64, took about a minute to get the hang of it. It was great! Very intuitive and very easy to handle. Within moments, we were all rocking back and forth in place (great fun and a nice way to "feel" your relationship with the Segway) and then heading out and chatting easily as we toured the lakefront.
Our guides were great, too: both very personable and just fun to be with. Jeff's commentary was always interesting and insightful. Mike was helpful, too, offering to take pictures and, in general, looking after our group.
We covered Buckingham Fountain, the Museum Campus, Soldier Field, Millenium Park, the Bean and the Chicago Faces Fountain. The tour was over much too quickly. We could have gone another couple hours easily. But we had a full days' events to get to!
Everyone agreed that the Segway tour was one of the highlights of the weekend and we all said that we would look forward to taking Segway Tours in other cities.
But I'm definitely heading for the Chicago Segway Tour the next time I've got out-of-town guests in. The fun factor is off the charts! |

| Even though we are life long Chicagoan's we enjoyed the tour and would do it again. You get to see so much more in the time alloted then you would otherwise. Our guide was knowledgable and easy to talk to. We told him early on we were from Chicago and he was able to tell us things we did not know about our city. |

| We really enjoyed the experience & recommend it to all that enjoy the outdoors. Nate and Jeff (trainee) were excellent tour guides and demonstrated that learning about the history of Chicago can be fun as well. |

| Loved the whole experience. Only thing I didn't like was stopping to take a break in the park. Thought it was a waste of time, but probably some people can't be on their feet for that length of time. |
