| 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. |

| The tour guides, Steve and Matt, were very knowledgeable and patient. They provided a detailed explanation and individual help with the segways. Matt was very patient and encouraging with those who were not very confident on the segways and remained at the back of the pack. Steve was great with the architecture and history of the city. |

| We were a group of 8 mixed men and women, the oldest in our 50's youngest 19. Our guide, Mike, made our tour, from start to finish, very interesting. The instructions to ride a segway were adequate, everyone took to it right away and we all headed off to see the sites. The machines only go about 6 miles an hour for the tour, and can turn on a dime but it would be very hard to fall off since the machine is adjusting constantly to keep your balance. It is quite an experience, everyone in our group had a great time, one of the girls even called a few days later to say thanks again for putting the trip together. |

| My daughter and I were in Chicago for the weekend celebrating her 25th birthday. I wanted it to be unique and memorable. When I found this tour, it sounded great....though both of us were a little nervous of what to expect and how difficult it might be to drive the segway. Mike was our tour guide. He made the whole experience fun, funny and hugely interesting. Not only was the Segway easy to master, but it was so much fun to ride. Both of us were ready to kick it up to the next level of speed. And it was a really great way to see the waterfront. Mike was a fanstastic guide. He really new the city, gave us lots of interesting facts and kept the tour moving at a really good pace. All in- it was a really good time and surpassed my expectations. |

| I was a part of two separate segway tours - one Lincoln Park the other the Museum Campus. Both experiences were highly entertaining.
I enjoyed the Lincoln Park tour the most. Our L.P. guide was attentive, informative and in a good mood. It was a rainy day so not many pedestrians; consequently, we had more freedom of movement than the lakefront tour. I felt the lakefront tour was too restrictive but I understood the tighter rules. The campus tour sites seemed to be the focus and the segway experience an aside; at $75. a ticket, I wanted more ride time. (Q. Is the gratuity included?) The actually ride time is about an hour forty minutes.
All in all both tours were enjoyable but the price is prohibitive to repeat trips. |

| The Segway tour is quite fun. We took the Chicago Experience tour and it was through Grant Park and museum campus; it was more about the riding experience than the sights. Next time I would try the architecture tour. The Segway was great though, I want one! |
