| Our family did the Segway tour as a group (children are teen-age) and we all enjoyed it tremendously. The tour was well-run, and the tour guide (Adam) was really good at providing tour-guide information, but balancing it with our desire to just ride for the fun of it..... He kept a good eye on the less confident riders, and provided lots of hints to help us adjust to the machines.
The actual mechanics of the Segway were pretty easy to master - we were given a couple of minutes of one-on-one instruction, followed by several minutes of practice in a protected area, and that's really all we needed to feel pretty comfortable with the riding. The tour through Grant park provides really cool views of the city, and allows you to travel a lot more of the lakefront than could be managed on a walk. We picked a bright, sunny day, and it was equally fun for all of us. |

| I've always wanted to ride a Segway. I hoped I might get 5 or 10 minutes on one, but when we got the chance for two hours, we couldn't wait to sign up and go.
There was a short orientation video that explained the device and its safety features (and safety measures). The Segway is full of technology that really makes it safe and easy to ride.
We went across the street to the park where our tour guide, Sarah (she was fabulous) explained how to get on and drive the Segway. Though it looked simple, she came to each one of us individually, started our units, made sure got on o.k., and then made helped as as we went forward, backward, and in reverse. We then had some free time to drive in the perfect area to get acclimated to the Segway. Within minutes we found the Segway so easy and intuitive to drive I could hardly believe it. It is nimble, agile, and so well balanced it is amazing. I think you'd have to be quite uncoordinated to not be able to maneuver this thing.
Anyway, we had a nice tour of a variety of attractions and our tour guide gave us some nice information about the area. I couldn't have enjoyed my time more! |

| We had a great time with Adam, our tour guide. The weather was overcast, but it did not diminish our experience at all. We got comfortable with the Segways after only a few minutes and by the end of our two-hour tour of the parks, it was effortless to operate them. A really cool experience that allowed us to catch a ton of sights in a short time. You'll want your own Segway when you are done! Worth every penny. |

| Excellent. I did this in July as part of company outing, there was about 15 of us then. Last week I had 2 friends in from the Lake Tahoe area and this was one of the sight see tours we did. They loved it. The guide was excellent.

| We had a great time on our Segway Experience Tour. It was a great way to find out about what Chicago has to offer for parks and museums. Our guide Adam was very friendly and patient, and gave us valuable and interesting information. I will (and already have) recommend the Segway Experience Tours to anyone I know who is planning a visit to Chicago. |

| Keep up the good work. Every time a friend comes to visit me in Chicago for the first time, I make sure that they don't leave without us taking a Segway tour. Keep up the good work! |

| 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! |
