| At first, I was hesitant about doing a Segway tour because it was something new. Once we got started, I loved it. If I can learn to use it as quickly as we did then anyone can do it. It was a lot easier than I had anticipated and it was a very enjoyable way to see the sights. I would highly recommend it and would do it again. |

| It's not as hard as you might think. the instructor was very good and ensured we not only got the hang of the Segway but also that we were safe.
I would highly recommend it as you not only get informative commentary on the sites around Grant Park etc but it's great fun as well. |

| This was a perfect way to start a Saturday night date and we both thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Our guide and "host" was delightful and although we're native Chicagoans we saw views never before experienced.
The Segway was a blast. After about 4 minutes we felt it was part of us and we were part of it.
Bottom line, we'd do it again...even with the occassional rain...and we'd highly recommend it to anyone. Matter of act we already have! |

| Great fun and a wonderful way to see the waterfront.
The scooters were very easy to learn, even my less athletic daughter picked it up in minutes.
Our facility was equipped with only slightly older models which turn Lt/Rt via a handlebar 'throttle' type control. - worked fine but newer scooters turn by leaning Lt/Rt and tipping the handlebar post. Looks more ergonomic but apparently *some* folks prefer the older style. I wish I had the choice.
Our group had only our family of four - ideal - but groups can range up to 10 or so it appears - might be less fun in such a crowd. (we reserved an early time, perhaps that is a good strategy?)
Great Staff, Omar and Andrew were very helpful. |

| My husband, our two sons, ages 15 and 13, and I all loved our Segway tour. Scheduling was easy, all staff members were professional and friendly, and our guide , Laura was entertaining and careful to make sure we all were safe and comfortable. We highly recommend this tour ! |

| The tour was really funny and interesting. Organization level is pretty good. One moment that confused me is quality of equipment. Segways vehicles looks shabby. |

Best way to tour a new city!

| We had a great time on these Segways! It's the best way to cover a lot of ground up close while riding an interesting gadget. The 2-hour tour of Chicago's Museum Campus and the surrounding areas was awesome!
If you don't get there 15 minutes early, it's not the end of the world - they will still train you on how to use the Segways. It's still advisable to arrive early though. Reserve in advance since timeslots go fairly quickly!
Mike was our guide and he did a great job - though the other people there seemed equally nice. |

| 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. |
