| I was very leary for a person of my age to be able to ride the Sedgway. Once I was able to get the hang of it, it was loads of fun and I had no fear. The instructors were very patient and pointed in the dos an don'ts. My only wish was that the group could have been divided into those who felt confident riding the Sedgway and those who were chicken and caused problems and were white knuckled.
Too bad we were not allowed in the Mil. Park.
I would do it again if I could ride with confident riders. |

| Lots of fun, been wanting to try those gismos for a while. A wonderful tour, scenic and what a mode of transportation!
Possibly a wave of the future. Chances are if we as a nation continue to grow so pathetically obese, a high percentage of Americans will need some system to assist them with limited mobility. Pesimistic maybe, but admit it, the theory has merit.
We loved the experience and would highly recommend it to others. That said, i do think that it might be too dangerous for some senior citizens to maneuver. |

| When first hearing about the segway tour of chicago the first thing that came to my mind was" of course, this is going to cost probably hundreds of dollars a person. Being only 70 per rider for 2 hours including the lessons, it is very wallet friendly. We got to go and see some major things in chicago on one of the most technologically advanced machines in chicago. Just the feel of riding one is out of this world, at first you think that it might be unstable and hard to ride, but its easier to do then a bike! The machine balances itself and by merely putting a bit of wiehgt on you toe or heel it goes that way. I loved riding by and having big groups of people smiling and pointing you out because youre riding this thing, and i cant even count how many times i got pictures taken of me on one. The group stops for some "kodak" moments so you can get a picture with the friends and family. The employess were very generous and took their time making sure you were comfortable riding on a Segway, and would stay with you as youre getting the hang of it. If you want to have one of the most fun and memorable experiences in the windy city, i recommend trying out one of these segway tours of chicago! |

| We took the tour because we wanted to ride a Segway. The training on how to ride a Segway was good, although when we bought our ticket, it said to arrive 30 minutes in advance for "pre-tour instructions" and there basically were no pre-tour instructions and no need to arrive 30 minutes in advance. The tour did start right on time. And the chance to ride around Museum Campus and the lakefront on a Segway was really great. |

| Our guide, Sarah, was personable and charming, She provided us with pertinent details regarding the sites and background info which gave us a more rounded out view of Chicago. It was pretty easy to get used to operating the Segway, and it was a fun and non-tiring way of touring the neighborhood. We'd do it again next time, maybe with our teenagers. |

| This was one of the best City tours I have ever been on. The Segways are so much fun, and our guide (Adam) was very helpful and knowledgable, especially for someone who had only been touring for two months! He also coped extremely well with a very annoying group (they were all one party except me), and when one of the Segways broke down, he swapped it for his, and walked all the way back from Museum Park!
Well done Adam - and I look forward to doing the Navy Pier tour soon! |

| Great way to visit the city. Our guide Jonathan had a lot to say about Chicago. We strongly recommend this tour to people who want to learn about this wonderful city. Riding the Segway is a thrill too but easy though once you get the trick!! Thanks to the team there, you really helped us to enjoy this nice city. |

| My daughter and I will remember this experience for a long time. We were a bit at a loss of what to do with teens in Chicago - after schools in the US started again, many fun activities (Six Flags, for instance) are closed.
Segway was our way out. Thank you so much for offering this activity. |
