| We have lived in the Chicago area for over 20 years and the segway tour ranks as one of our top 5 Chicago adventures!! It was a blast! We saw parts of Chicago that we didn't even know existed. The segways are easy to use! Our college son and his fraternity brother raved and raved about the experience! My husband and I now plan on taking all of our out-of-town guests on this tour. We are also planning on making this a "couples" event in the near future with some of our friends.
Definitely an experience not to miss!!
Our tour guide Derek was also awesome! He provided interesting facts about the city and the sites we segway'd past, but, left us alone also so that we could enjoy ourselves. Terrific guy!
Thanks again! |

| My husband and I took this tour in lieu of an expensive dinner out for our anniversary. It was great! The people were friendly, our guide was fun, and we loved using the Segways. After the first 30 minutes, we would have liked to have traveled faster than the 6 mph limit for the rest of the tour. We are locals so did not need much of the guide's information, but for the out-of-towners, he seemed to address their questions well. We have recommended to friends and family to try the tour. |

| As a group of sisters, not far from greatgrandmotherhood,we wondered if we were getting in over our heads. The tour was an absolute delight. Riding the segways came with very little practice, and made us feel like kids again. The places we saw throughout Grant Park were very beautiful. Our tour guide was congenial, funny, and informative. We all have highly recommended this trip to friends. Thanks for the experience. |

| We loved the experience. Great guide. The tour could have moved faster without so much detail for 'history' of sites, or without so many stops.
Thanks, |

Would suggest an additional person during training

| THis is my third time, and it's a blast!
Despite the skill of our leader, though, the training took too long (8 people). For a 10:00 tour, we did not leave the training area until 10:50. I realize that this is group dependent, but given the number of staff in the office, it would've been helpful for one of them to follow us over, and help with individualized training where needed.
Because of this, our leader offered to go over the time by 10 min or so, but we had a committment, so didn't get to go around the perimeter of Millenium Park.
Note, a second group that went out at the same time as us (4 people) finished their training at 10:25. |

| I am a local resident who needed friends to come in from out of town as my excuse to take a Segway tour of Chicago's Downtown Lakefront. Our group had a fantastic time and we loved, loved our tour guide, who was full of information, funny and patient with us! I would highly recommend a Segway Tour to both locals and definitely visitors! |

| We (a retired couple) were hosting a young couple from Spain. It's sometimes hard to find an activity which appeals to both age groups and which can accommodate a language barrier.. The Segway tour was perfect. It helped that we had given them an auto tour of the Chicago several days before, so they knew where they were and what they were seeing. Having lived in the Chicago area for many years, we knew and had already given our visitors many of the "stories" which our tour guide would have related. Our tour guide understood that ours was not the type of group to receive too much dialog. I think as a result, we got to see some extra nooks and grannies of the lakefront which we had not seen on previous tours. All in all, a well spent two hours! |

| 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! |
