| 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. |

| 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. |
