| The Segway Experience delivered exactly what it promised; we received far more personalized attention than on a bus tour and covered more ground than on a walking tour. Our small group was far more intrigued by gliding with the segways than taking in the sights. Nevertheless, Mike was a phenomenal guide: patient, knowledgeable, and friendly--not to mention good looking!
I highly recommend the Park Glide Tour. It is a phenomenal way to take in Chicago's museum district regardless of the season! |

| The best part was driving the segway. Our tourguide Hannah was very friendly and infromative. I have recommended it to my friends. The worst part was the helmet/orange vest get up ;) |

| Our guide Sarah was lovely (part tourguide, part drill sgt., part sweetheart) and its been my stepson's dream to take the tour for awhile. It was great.
All the best,

| Our guide was enthusiastic and helpful. She provided the group with great instruction and good information on the sites around Chicago. She was more than happy to take pictures of us and the other family in your group. |

| The staff had a great manner working with first-time Segway riders--all the way from the sign in on out. The training period was very good but I could see it was tedious for one person who was on her third Segway tour...wish they had an "advanced" tour where you didn't need a half-hour instruction period. The tour was well-arranged with the various stops/points of interest being explained well. I thought, however, that we stopped too much and we didn't have adequate opportunity simply to ride the Segway without interruption. However, this was a GREAT experience to enjoy in Chicago and I have recommended it to family and friends. My wife and I would likely take another Segway tour in the context of introducing another couple to it but, if it were just the two of us, we would want a more advanced experience, as noted above. |

| The Segway experience is an activity that shouldn't be missed. It is fun and informative. I enjoyed hearing about the history of Chicago.The leaders are patient and good at giving instructions. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. |

| About the wallet recommendation: it's so you don't buy a Segway on your way out.
This was a terrific birthday gift, as 1: we were visiting Chicago, 2: had always lusted after Segways but never ridden them, and 3: it lived up to our expectations.
Great tour guide with decent basic knowledge of the area (there's a reason for hiring theatre majors) and good teaching skills. No video to watch, just a quick lesson and off. The group was comprised of ind'ls from 30-60, and all became quickly adept at riding and maneuvering these intuitive machines.
Our round-trip included the Grant Park area from the Art Institute to the Shedd and along the lake. My only disappointment was not being allowed into Millenium Park, which I had expected. But that's easily overcome with a short post-Segway walk.
I've recommended this to several Chicago residents. I'll do it again when I return.
