| I had only been on a Segway for a few minutes about four years ago, and my wife had never ridden one. We were in Chicago for the weekend, and decided to take the Grant Park/Museum Park tour. She was frankly terrified at first, and almost bailed. However, thanks to the excellent instruction from our guide, Matt, she quickly overcame her fear. She loved the tour, and so did I. Matt was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, and kept the atmosphere light and friendly. There were only five in our group, including my wife and me. We liked it so much, we plan to do the Navy Pier tour the next time we're back in Chicago. For $75 per person, it's time and money very well spent! |

| There is no better way to see and enjoy Chicago's beautiful lakefront on a
pleasant Spring Sunday afternoon. Our group was small enough at 8 riders
to be able to keep together, even when traveling through heavy foot traffic on
Michigan Avenue, Our guide, Sarah, was a patient, confident young lady who
took the time to be sure all her riders felt secure enough in handling the Segway
before taking off on our tour. She worked with each person individually and
then had us practice as a group.
The Segway is an amazing riding experience. It is so responsive that it almost
seems to anticipate what you want to do -- stops on a dime and twirls in place.
What fun! A wonderful ride and a great experience. Well worth the money! |

Really cool kid with lots of knowledge about the city, excellent sense of humor and patient with our segway skills learning curve.
Enjoyed it thoroughly.

| I've been on the AIA architecture river tour many, many times. It's my favorite thing to do with visitors from out of town. I don't think it's much of a stretch to also want to take the AIA Segway tour, too. OK, I admit it. I really only wanted to do it because I wanted a reason to ride a Segway. It was lots of fund. However, the AIA Segway tour is at 10 a.m. twoce a week. So, my out-of-town visitor and I took a non-AIA-guided tour at 5 p.m. instead. Although the 5 p.m. tour guides were nice young men, I'm willing to bet it's going to be worth getting up at the crack of dawn to take my next visitor on the 10 a.m. AIA Segway tour. On the other hand, if architecture isn't that important to you, anytime you have an excuse to ride a Segway in the company of nice young men is OK. |

| The time spent on learning the segway was crucial; and Cameron did a very very good job of making sure everyone was properly acclimated. He also was very watchful and careful during the entire tour.
The tour route was less spectacular. It seemed a long time to see not much. Especially since vehicles are not allowed in Millenium Park. |

| Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable about Segway and about Chicago sights. I was nervous about learning to use the Segway but it turned out to be very easy and a very fun experience. It's great way see a lot without long, long walks or taking the buses, etc.
Worth it! |

| I took my wife and nieces on the Park Glide Tour on a Sunday afternoon, and everyone had a great time. You get comfortable driving the Segways very fast after your training. They don't start the tour until all the riders get enough practice driving them. We had two girls age 14-16 who at first were a little nervous, but quickly got the hang of it. The views of the Chicago skyline and lakefront are spectacular. It's a very memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone. |
