| On the morning of my daughter's wedding, I scheduled a Segway tour for eight:
all out-of-town guests for the wedding.
We needed to change our Segway tour time and Amanda, the office manager, was extremely helpful in following through on our request. She made it possible for us to start the tour early so we could attend the groomsmen's lunch.
There had been some concern (from the wives) that someone might have an accident or be injured on the day of the wedding. I had inquired about the accident rate and been told that it was not an issue.
And it clearly wasn't. The group, ranging in age from 24 to 64, took about a minute to get the hang of it. It was great! Very intuitive and very easy to handle. Within moments, we were all rocking back and forth in place (great fun and a nice way to "feel" your relationship with the Segway) and then heading out and chatting easily as we toured the lakefront.
Our guides were great, too: both very personable and just fun to be with. Jeff's commentary was always interesting and insightful. Mike was helpful, too, offering to take pictures and, in general, looking after our group.
We covered Buckingham Fountain, the Museum Campus, Soldier Field, Millenium Park, the Bean and the Chicago Faces Fountain. The tour was over much too quickly. We could have gone another couple hours easily. But we had a full days' events to get to!
Everyone agreed that the Segway tour was one of the highlights of the weekend and we all said that we would look forward to taking Segway Tours in other cities.
But I'm definitely heading for the Chicago Segway Tour the next time I've got out-of-town guests in. The fun factor is off the charts! |

| We had excellent guides and they were very patient as they taught us to ride. One of my friends was very nervious about the activity and our guide was very reassuring and she got over her fear quickly and really enjoyed the tour. It's a great way to see the parks and attractions and it gives you a great feeling of adventure and fun in the process. |

| We absolutely recommend the segway tour provided by MySegway Tour in Chicago. It is one of those experiences we will never forget. It was fun, invigorating, a great way to see many sights in a relatively short period of time. The tour guides were the best! They were very knowledgeable about both the operation of the segway and the different sites on the tour. They not only stopped at what would be considered major stops (museums, etc) but also at more incidential spots that as a tourist you would not otherwise know about and that provided more interest of a more personal nature to the tour. The guides cared very much about what we wanted to see and hear -- this was not a canned presentation -- there was a lot of interaction and interest in making sure we were having a great time.
We would definitely go on the tours conducted by My Segway Tour again...and again. |

| We were a group of five sisters on a 50th birthday trip. Not only did Segway Chicago change our tour time to accomodate us - our tour guide Anthony was friendly, knowledgeable, a great teacher, and made us feel comfortable and confident on our Segways. We never felt rushed. I have recommended Segway Experience to a number of my friends. We really enjoyed the experience and your city in particular. |

| I have done this Segway Tour several times - both with family and business associates and clients. All love it and have subsequently either returned on their own or have made plans to return on their own - taking either their families, friends, associates, etc.
It's a lot of fun. Having done both the summer and winter tours, for first timers I would definitely recommend the summer tours.
I love the experience and will do it again. |

| Loved the machine. Simply lean and move. Covered a lot of ground. Got a good feel for the downtown parks and lakeside. Personable guide and good equipment (the jumpsuits were a lifesaver in the cold Nov. wind). Highly recommended. Worth it. |

Omar braved wind, and freezing rain to guide us!

| We showed up in a rain storm and Omar took me and my husband out for the full two hours. We refused any chance to take shelter because we were having such a great time. The freezing rain off lake Michigan was a challenge - just keeping our eyes open, but the two hour glide around Grant Park and all the landmarks of Michigan Avenue were the best tour I have ever taken in my life. I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was spectacular! We will do it again, and every year we possibly can. Grant Park was the perfect place. The fall colors and the sculptural trees were unforgettable. We learned interesting things from Omar, who never lacked for enthusiasm, information and conversation. He was an unforgettable guide - and off to class at the end of the tour. What a guy. I hope he had some dry clothes... we did. |

| We had a great time on this tour. The guide was well informed and careful to make sure we all enjoyed the experience. We've taken Segway tours before, it's a great way to become acquainted with a city, and this was one of the best we've been on. |
