| Segway was a great way to see the city!!! You got to see a lot more then if you were walking. |

Segways are fun, but tour was lacking in city info

| The segways were fun and a great way to see the city, but the tour guide did not provide any true direction to the tour. Landmarks were only discussed if the group asked a question about something specific, which is quite challenging for someone who is not from Chicago and doesn't know anything about the city. Bike Chicago provided a much more efficient tour to truly learn about Chicago.
Segways were also the older models that did not have newer features such as leaning to turn rather than using the handle bar switch. |

| Our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, several of the group members with whom we were placed were only interested in the ride, not the historical and cultural aspect of the tour. I think our tour guide felt limited by this. My husband and I would have liked a more informational tour. The riding experience was wonderful. We would recommend it heartily. |

| We had a very nice time at our Segway tour. I'm not much of a group activity person but it was a pleasant and low key way to learn the Segway and see the museum campus area. |

| The Segway experience was "just a blast". We had so much fun! The instructor was professional but firm with the people, which aged from young teen to early 60's.
I was, however, disappointed that we were not able to utilize our Go Chicago card for our earned discount. No where was it stated that we could have inserted this information to receive the proper discount. Then, to present it to the gentleman at the store, put him in an embarassing position when he had to say that "no, the discount cannot be refunded to you ." It was not fair to him, or us.
That is not a good way to do repeat business; however, we would recommend the Segway tour...with the above information included. |

| The tour itself was very informative and fun. The Segways was an added plus, which made it even more enjoyable. |

| My wife and I are both 68 years old, but we found the Segway to be easy to learn and easy to ride. It was great fun and thoroughly enjoyed the 2.5 hours. We can't wait to do it again with our children and grandchildren.

| 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. |
