| Combining the segway experience with riding through and experiencing some of Chicago's most beautiful and interesting real estate vowed both an adult who has seen it all and a daredevil teenager... |

| Segways are so fun and easy to ride. Our guide, Paul, was the best! She was informative, patient, and great instructor. He made it a fun experience for the whole group. We got to see areas that we never would have seen if it weren't for segways. |

| 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! |

| I was a little nervous while watching the video. The actual hands on and positive attitude of Mike, the guide, were a lot more helpful.
When I realized the amount of land we covered...it was a great tour. A few more up close, not just in the distance view, might have been nice. Also, a bit more diversity in the items/buildings/sites of note,e.g., a monument to DuSable, other specifically ethnic site of interest, etc....
Overall, I enjoyed the total experience. The price was almost acceptable.. |

| We took the 5:00PM tour on Venetian night. After a few minutes of simple instruction we were off on our tour from Buckingham Fountain thru Grant Park to the Shedd Aquarium. I was concerned at first because of the crowds gathering for the festival but the segways are easy to steer and control and a wonderful way to sightsee and save your feet. Mike, our guide, was very informative and funny. He kept a close eye on the group and made sure we stayed together. You do not need to possess any special skill or athletic ability to comfortably manuver these vehicles. We will definitely return and will ask for Mike as our guide. Thanks for a unique experience. |

| The Segway Experience was an outstanding ride. After a short learning session, we spent about 1 1/2 hours riding through Grant Park in Chicago. The training was easy. Even my wife quickly took to using the Segway and she is not the most coordinated person around. The tour was led by an interesting guide. The only negative was that our legs were tired after the ride. It seems that slightly leaning forward to make the Segway go is more tiring than it looks. However, the entire experience was outstanding and I would highly recommend it to others; especially if you have teenaged children. We will certainly look for similar Segway tours in other cities. |

| I was taking a friend's son out for the afternoon and the Segway tour came up as an option. I was most excited about it as an idea but I wanted to give my 13 year old companion several choices. It was by far his top choice. . . I couldn't believe we agreed! I was so relieved that we were able to get reservations and do the tour the next day. I wondered if it would be worth the high price. I highly recommend it because it SO was! Riding the segway was surprisingly easy to learn and I think our whole group would probably agree as there were no stragglers or accidents. Our tour guide was nice, patient, & caring in addition to being passionate and knowledgeable about segways and Chicago. If you listened to him you got a fun, safe ride and some interesting trivia which I've already busted out on my friends a few times. My buddy gave the tour a rave review as well. |
