| I really enjoyed the segway tour of Chicago's museum campus. The segway was easy to operate and allowed the tour to progress at a reasonable speed in both crowds and in open areas.
It rained for a bit during our tour and we were not slowed down at all.
best thing: you sight-see without fatigue. It requires no more than moving your wrist, shifting your weight and standing in place. How easy is that?

| We had a great time riding the Segways for two hours. Yes there is a Chicago tour involved and yes one gets to see a lot of city scenery, but the real focus is to learn how to ride the Segway unit and to enjoy it for a couple of hours. Our tour guide (Dan, I believe) was very pleasant and gave us very good instructions on the use of the units. I would recommend this to anyone interested in doing something fun and different. |

| Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Learning was really easy … just like they say. The Segways are incredible machines that do all of the work. Truly anyone can do it. And the two hour tour down to the Planetarium and back was the perfect length of time. I’ll be back |

| This was something very cool and fun. I am from Chicago and have taken the boat tours before. This was much better. A 2 hour tour was just the right amount of time.
Omar was a fun guide. He knew the Segway and was very good at teaching us how to use it and what to watch for. He also taught me a few things about Chicago that I didn't know.

| WARNING: Don't take this tour for educational purposes. We went with a group of friends and it was perfect. The Segways were great!! 2 hours is a perfect amount of time. We are going around soon. |

| Omar was our leader and he had ALOT of patience teaching all of us, 53,52, and 25,24, and 24 yr.olds. I was nervous going down a slope and he rode along side of me and guided me down. He also has a great sense of humor...thank God. It was a beautiful way to see the Chicago lake front and parks. Just great for visitors from Seattle. Thanks alot. |

| Ever since I talked with a security guard at Millenium Park who was riding a segway I wanted to have the experience too. Having seen several groups gliding around the lakefront, I "googled" to learn where and how I could sign up for such a ride and tour.
Family visiting from out of state was the final push to go.
Instruction was good and thorough, the guide was attentive to the group at all times as we moved on to our route, the route itself was just right in length, and as our confidence grew, it was easy to maneauver anywhere.
We got back to the Segway office by threading through quite a lot of pedestrian traffic (it was Labor Day weekend), often being the subject of camera shots and questions from bystanders.
I recommend the tour to any adventuresome person and might very well do it again. |
