| If the equipment had all been working correctly, this would have been a great trip. The segway is fun to ride, Michael the guide was very fun and informative, but they did not have enough functioning equipment. Two members of the group had to stay back because they ran out of Segways that worked. Plus, toward the end of our ride, another of the Segways failed. The guide gave his to me and he had to walk that one back home. I believe they had overbooked their available equipment and our party had to sacrifice. If you choose to rent there, be sure they don't have a large party booked ahead of you. |

| The Folks at MySegwayTour were extremely helpful. I brought two C level clients into town for their first Chicago visit. My clients enjoyed the tour and had alot of fun.The guides were friendly, knowledgable and professional. I would recommend this tour to anyone from business professionals to families. I have already recommended this tour to a VP of sales for his team outing.
Thank You For Everything!

| Tour was fine. 3 hour tour is actually a two hour tour with 1 hour of training. Architectual tour was three stops to look back at the city skyline. While the guide was informative, I'm not sure a Segway was any advantage to any other tour. Glad I did it but I doubt I'd want to do it again. |

| After signing a waiver, viewing a short video, and being fitted with safety gear, we anxiously started our journey. Heading to a park across the street, we learned how to start, balance, stop, and turn on the Segway. We practiced our new skills until everyone in the group felt confident. This is when the fun really began. Our tour guide Mike, paced us through parks, the museum complex, and along the shore. We travelled mostly on level sidewalks, but we also maneuvered up and down slopes, a small grassy section, a little gravel, and across Chicago streets. Mike offered a great mix of historic and humorous stories about the city and the architecture and was also able to answer every random question posed by group members. He engaged each person in conversation and offered to take photos of everyone. The tour was a fast, fun way to see and learn about sites in Chicago. |

| I took my teenage nieces to Chicago for a special 'secret journey'.. What a great time we had .Mike ,our guide , was great and helpful in learning the ropes with the segway. The route was beautiful , enjoyable and not too difficult. Will take the rest of the family on this adventure . Although it is a litte pricey, it is worth the money.... |

| A fun tour. Easy to ride after only a few minutes of training. Tour guide Mike, a local college student, was funny and informative, stopping at the Buckingham Fountain for photos and near the Natural History Museum for a brief review of the city skyline and some local history. This was a nice overview of the area and worth taking the time to do. |

| Combining the segway experience with riding through and experiencing some of Chicago's most beautiful and interesting real estate vowed both an adult who has seen it all and a daredevil teenager... |

| Segways are so fun and easy to ride. Our guide, Paul, was the best! She was informative, patient, and great instructor. He made it a fun experience for the whole group. We got to see areas that we never would have seen if it weren't for segways. |

| My 50 year-old husband, 12 year-old son and I went and had a terrific time. I almost didn't get a ticket for me because I was afraid I wouldn't get the hang of it (not too coordinated, you know), but I had no problem. The guides were very patient and friendly and made sure everyone was comfortable before we began. It was a great way to see Grant Park, the museum campus, and the lakefront. Have been to Chicago many times and saw things I had never seen before from a different viewpoint. My son really loved it, just wished he could go faster:) Great activity for all ages! |
