| While I was confident this would be an enjoyable activity, my family wasn't. They would now say it was the highlight of our 4-day trip to Chicago. Our guide, Anthony, certainly added to our enjoyment. He was very knowledgeable, personable and a patient teacher. He made a difference. We would certainly do this again and recommend it to anyone asking. |

| My comments would be that the experience was fun but there were some issues with the experience. The place did not have our reservation (did it on line with your service) and so there were too many people in the group. They had to take us but they didn't have enough charged Segways. So we found units and the minute we left, mine was beeping and had to be replaced. That took 10 ninutes and then another persons took 10 minutes so the Segways weren't the most reliable. The tour was nice but the guide was not very informative about the site. We ended up using up time along Lake Michigan in this open area and just drove back and forth. I would have preferred seeing more and hearing about the places.
So it was fun but I think the other guy (guide) may have done a much better job and woudl want more reliable Segways.

| The Segway was as easy to handle as they say it is. The tour guide was more than helpful in making us feel comfortable on the machines before we took off. We had varying levels in out group of 9 and all were "experts" by the end. He was knowledgeable about the sites we saw. He was personable. THANK YOU!!!! |

| The Segways were easy to learn--very good instruction was provided. It was a beautiful clear evening in Chicago, so riding through Grant Park, past Buckingham Fountain, along the lake and around the museums was delightful. Our leader was very nice and gave us some good Chicago information, but the "tour" was really secondary to our riding the Segways. The 2 hours was more about riding, enjoying the scenery and enjoying each other. By the time the tour was nearing its end, no-one wanted to give up their Segway. They become almost a part of you--they are quite intuitive. Anyhow, it was a fun thing to do with my 20 year old son. We only wished we could have gone faster! |

| I always thought the segways look like fun, now I know.
We were lucky to ride on a Tuesday, the foot traffic wasn't as busy as a Saturday or a
Sunday would have been.
The guide was fun. |

| This was the perfect activity for our group. We were a combination of family and out-of-country guests, aged early twenties to mid-fifties. Everyone mastered the Segway immediately, our guide was young and enthusiastic, we learned a few things about Chicago and had a blast. The Cool Globes that are out now (August 2007) were a big plus. |

| The guides were very knowledgeable, patient, and clear with their instructions on how to operate the Segways. They stressed safely as the number one goal, and to have fun as well. They were able to deal with all the ability levels in our group.
I wasn't quite sure if the 2 hours included the instructions as well. When I read the website description it stated in one area that the 2 hours included instructions. But then another sentence in bold print said to come 30 minutes early for processing and instructions.
If instructions were not to be part of the 2 hours, then our tour time ended 20 minutes too soon. This might need to be clarified.
Otherwise, all went well. I will certainly recommend this to my family and friends. |

| The tour was informative and scenic. But, more important it was also a great way to ride on a Segway for two hours. The overall instruction and safety review enabled everyone to have an safe and enjoyable tour. The quality of the instructors/guides was excellent. |
