| 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! |

Do not accept "BIG BOY" when this company is out

| I had injured myself because of being given a huge Segway when I specifically asked for the smaller, more controllable segway but there were none left in the store to use. I really think the store representative should had used the big one and allowed the paying customer, like myself, use the one of my choice. The company leader did this so sneakedly----left me for last in the group (since I was the young guy--and said here is your SEGWAY--the "big boy". What could I say when no other one was available and everyone else had their vehicle and were ready to go? Terrible experience!
Never asked me is OK...just gave it to me!
I also expressed my concern about the competitor company giving one extra hour of riding compared to this one, but they would not listen. I wish I would had gone to the other company who was able to travel the Millenium Park. etc.
My next trip I will not come home with sores on my knees and elbows-----because I will be given the correct size Segway--the one I had specifically asked for paying $70. This company was not prepared for large crowds at all. They must remember the CUSTOMER.
One more issue---the brochure said come in one half hour earlier for training---that was not part of the two hours. I have no idea why 45 minutes of the two hours was taken up with training....not according to advertisement.

| Training is simple and to the point. Segway is easy and very fun to ride, and it would take much longer and wear you out to try to cover that much territory walking. This is a "Must Do" experience! |

| Since the publicity of this revolutionary device first came to my attention, I had always wanted to be able to see what it really felt like to operate one of these gyroscopically balanced transporters. I had read about them, watched them demo'd on t.v. and observed them in the malls and airports. Finding one of the places that rents these out for a few hours allowed me and my wife the chance to exprience this without having to spend a lot of money. My wife was a bit apprehensive and even talked about backing out of the experience, since this transporter didn't look to her like it was safe to even stand on. Boy did she change her mind. The company gives some excellent pre-ride training to build up your confidence and after that, "let the fun begin". We had a blast and wished we could have spent more time with one of these toys. For something different on a nice afternoon date, here's the way to go! |

| 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!! |

| After just several minutes of instruction our group was on the move. The tour guide was fun, full of facts, and kept the group moving at a very comfortable pace. Within several minutes apprehension had disappeared replaced by smiles and laughter.
Hope at some point in the near future you allow "veterans to go on their own. |

| The Segway devices are brilliant and very intuitive after a very short while. The instructors are great and the stuff to see is interesting around the city of chicago.
I had a thoroughly good time and very readily recommend it as a genuinely unique experience. |

| Jennifer and Sarah were great tour guides. Very thorough with the pre-tour training of the Segways and with the knowledge of the local sights during the tour. A great experience. My son's favorite activity while in Chicago. He liked it more than seeing the Blue Man Group. Thanks for a memorable experience.

| 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. |
