| WE HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME. WATCHING THE FILM WAS QUITE HELPFUL TO ALL OF US, AND THE GUIDE DID A TERRIFIC JOB IN TRAINING US AND GIVING A WONDERFUL LECTURED TOUR. HE WAS SO PATIENT WITH US AS WE TRAINED FOR THE FIRST FEW MINUTES. OUR FRIEND FELL IN TRAINING BUT THE GUIDE WAS REALLY HELPFUL TOWARD HER. THE TOUR WAS EXCELLENT. WE ALL WISH IT COULD HAVE LASTED MUCH LONGER, AS WE GOT MORE CONFIDENT AND WAS REALLY ENJOYING THE RIDE. WE ALL SAID WE WOULD DO IT AGAIN SOMETIME. THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL MORNING ON THE SEGWAY TOUR.

| The tour was so much fun. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Chicago and was very helpful in getting everyone set up to ride the Segways. It was a great way to see the city again. My friend who joined me on the tour mentioned that it was good that we had already walked around the city because while one the tour it takes a lot of concentration to make sure you don't fall that you can't always enjoy the scenery. I loved the tour and recommend it to anyone interested in viewing Chicago in a new and interesting way! |

| We took the 5:00PM tour on Venetian night. After a few minutes of simple instruction we were off on our tour from Buckingham Fountain thru Grant Park to the Shedd Aquarium. I was concerned at first because of the crowds gathering for the festival but the segways are easy to steer and control and a wonderful way to sightsee and save your feet. Mike, our guide, was very informative and funny. He kept a close eye on the group and made sure we stayed together. You do not need to possess any special skill or athletic ability to comfortably manuver these vehicles. We will definitely return and will ask for Mike as our guide. Thanks for a unique experience. |

| The tour guides, Steve and Matt, were very knowledgeable and patient. They provided a detailed explanation and individual help with the segways. Matt was very patient and encouraging with those who were not very confident on the segways and remained at the back of the pack. Steve was great with the architecture and history of the city. |

| We were a group of 8 mixed men and women, the oldest in our 50's youngest 19. Our guide, Mike, made our tour, from start to finish, very interesting. The instructions to ride a segway were adequate, everyone took to it right away and we all headed off to see the sites. The machines only go about 6 miles an hour for the tour, and can turn on a dime but it would be very hard to fall off since the machine is adjusting constantly to keep your balance. It is quite an experience, everyone in our group had a great time, one of the girls even called a few days later to say thanks again for putting the trip together. |

| I was a part of two separate segway tours - one Lincoln Park the other the Museum Campus. Both experiences were highly entertaining.
I enjoyed the Lincoln Park tour the most. Our L.P. guide was attentive, informative and in a good mood. It was a rainy day so not many pedestrians; consequently, we had more freedom of movement than the lakefront tour. I felt the lakefront tour was too restrictive but I understood the tighter rules. The campus tour sites seemed to be the focus and the segway experience an aside; at $75. a ticket, I wanted more ride time. (Q. Is the gratuity included?) The actually ride time is about an hour forty minutes.
All in all both tours were enjoyable but the price is prohibitive to repeat trips. |
