| Even though I've lived in Chicago for most of my life, I still enjoyed this new "view" of the place. Tour guide was patient and informed. Great fun all around |
|
Great experience but leave wallet at home.

| About the wallet recommendation: it's so you don't buy a Segway on your way out.
This was a terrific birthday gift, as 1: we were visiting Chicago, 2: had always lusted after Segways but never ridden them, and 3: it lived up to our expectations.
Great tour guide with decent basic knowledge of the area (there's a reason for hiring theatre majors) and good teaching skills. No video to watch, just a quick lesson and off. The group was comprised of ind'ls from 30-60, and all became quickly adept at riding and maneuvering these intuitive machines.
Our round-trip included the Grant Park area from the Art Institute to the Shedd and along the lake. My only disappointment was not being allowed into Millenium Park, which I had expected. But that's easily overcome with a short post-Segway walk.
I've recommended this to several Chicago residents. I'll do it again when I return.

| The whole experience was good. Tour guide/instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable about segway and sites. Very family friendly would recommend and would also do again. |

| The Segway tour was used as a department outing with a mixture of men and women aged 32 to 60. It was enjoyed highly by all. |

| 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. |

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. |

| My 12 year old grandchild loved the freedom of the ride. I thought my leader (Sarah) was excellent. I enjoyed the views of Chicago that I had not seen before. |

| It was great fun. It takes a little practice to get the hang of the segway (about 20 minutes), but then it's loads of fun. We had a wonderful instructor (Melissa) who kept an eye on each one of us throughout the tour.
It was also an eyeopener to visit the beautiful parks in this manner. We were really able to enjoy the beauty of the city. It was a wonderful day, and we hope to repeat it soon. |

| My two daughters, grand daughter and myself had a lot of fun. Our guide was very good and described things as we went along our tour. We all said we would like to do this again. |
