| The instructions said to be at the site 1/2 hour before the tour started, and we were. We had hoped that the training would start then and leave the full 2 hours to ride.
We had a delightful time on our tour.
Our tour leader, Sara, was thorough in her explanation of the equipment and safety procedures. She was very patient with everyone in the group.
We would most definitely do it again! |

| Very good way to get a general view of the highlights of Chicago. We are locals but rarely get to enjoy our city so we decided to be "tourist" and had a great time. I thought I would be uncoordinated but the guide made sure everyone was comfortable with the segways before we left on the tour. I would do it again and would definately recommend it. |

| We decided on a lark to try the segways in grant park. what a blast! the guides were friendly and very accomodative. my girlfriend and i ended up in a group of 6 which was about the right size for our adventure. first 20 min or so is learning to ride the segway which was no big deal. after that we were off to fun with our tour guide whisking along the lake seeing the field museum, the aquarium, and millenium park.
a bunch of fun - highly recommended!! |

| This was a birthday present for my cousin who was in visiting from New Hampshire and had not previously been to Chicago.
The office staff were great...held jackets we didn't need. Filled out the paperwork in les than 5 minutes. They took an imprint of a credit card, just in case you kidnapped or destroyed the segway, but shredded it or returned it to you upon your return of the equipment.
In less than 10 minutes of training, our total group of 7 were almost experts and on our way to Grant Park and Buckingham fountain. The fountain turned on for the season just as we arrived!
From there we rode over to The Field Museum, The Shedd Aquarium and then Adler Planetarium. The view of Navy Pier and the Chicago skyline were awesome!
We ended up at Millenium park and the "bean". Took lots of great pictures and our guide also took many pictures for us. He was terrific.
The segway was very easy to ride and I woud recommend this tour to everyone... |

| 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! |

| My son and I took the tour last week and had a great time. The machines were awesome and fun to ride. The people that work at the store and our tour guide could not be more friendly and helpful. The price seems like a lot at first but it is a great value. |

| We arrived late (didn't read instructions and got there at 1:30 rather than 1:00. Tour people couldn't have been nicer, offered to catch us up! After a quick instruction we felt comfortable riding our new best legs. Within less than 20 minutes we were on our segways. Tour operators were great, informative and just fun to be with. They were relaxed and allowed us to go in a group rather than single file when it was appropriate which made it nice to be able to talk with our friends.
Righly recommend. Would definitely go again. One of the best tours you could take friends visiting Chicago ... people that live here would thoroughly enjoy it too. |
