| Learning and riding the segway was a gas. I wish I could purchase one and keep it around. |

| Our guide was great. He was enthusiastic and entertaining. The whole tour was just a great time. We learned things about Chicago we never even knew and we're from here. With the taste going on it was a little hectic around the office but out on the tour it was a blast. I recommend it to anybody visiting or people just looking for a fun thing to do. |

| My wife and I are both 68 years old, but we found the Segway to be easy to learn and easy to ride. It was great fun and thoroughly enjoyed the 2.5 hours. We can't wait to do it again with our children and grandchildren.

| A few more often or earlier tour times would be convenient. Maybe take in to consideration other attraction's and their times ie: Science & Industry, and travel time. May I suggest 9am to accommodate 2hr tour, 1hr travel time and still be able to meet someone for lunch, and catch a 1-2pm show, museum event, etc.
May I also say that the having to open a link to print my ticket was a but inconvenient, I would rather open a text only email ticket with a confirmation number. |

| The Segway tour was a blast. It was a great way to see the lake front. We live in the Chicago suburbs, and took our high school aged son with us. We all loved it, and would highly recommend it. I looked into the other tour companies, but they were booked for the day that we wanted. I thought we might have been a little short shrifted, by only having 2 hours, instead of the competitions 3 hour tour. 2 hours was plenty of time for us. It took about 20 minutes to train and then off we went. I did read on the website where the competitors allowed you to go faster after the first half of the tour. That would have been very nice to do and I wish MySegwayTours would change their policy and allow you to go faster on the second half. Everyone in our group of 8 agreed that we should have been able to go faster. There is no way to fall off, frontward or backwards, the Segway keeps you steady no matter how hard you try to fall, but it does take about 5 or 10 minutes to get used to steering them. I can't wait to take our friends when they come to Chicago. Bill |

| Never been on a Segway before, but it only took a few minutes to get the hang of it. Quite an amazing machine. Guide was very personable. Only problem was that although we covered about eight miles in two hours, the guide didn't really stop and describe or explain the things we were seeing. That was too bad. But fun experience none the less. |

| Fantastic! We had never been on a Segway before and were a little apprehensive. Everyone in our group was able to learn how to safely operate the units with 15 minutes of instruction and practice. By the end of the tour we were all masters!
The tour guide was knowlegable of the city, helpful, fun and enthusiastic. He made the tour even more enjoyable.
Great sights and photo shoots on tour.
If you're driving to this tour you'll need to find parking. There is a parking garage around the corner from the office. |

Competitor offers better value

| I went on a 2 hour evening tour and a few months ago I'd been on a segway tour in Chicago by City Segway Tours. Their evening tours are 2 hours, but their daytime tours are 3 hours vs. 2 hours for this company during the day and the City Segway tours used the black key starting out and about halfway through they used yellow key which allowed us to ride the segway a little faster. Their price for the 3 hour tour was $75.
I wasn't unhappy with the tour and our guide did a good job, but if a competitor offers 2 speeds vs. 1 and a 3 hour daytime tour vs. 2 hours, what would you pick? |
