| The Segway tour was lots of fun. The experience was unique. They are easy to learn to drive. We covered lots of ground you couldn't do walking. The best part though was the guide HANNA she was fun, informative and a genuine pleasure to be arround. |

| Our friends from Ohio came up for a Chicago experience. They like a little adventure and this had it all. Sara taught us well so it was easy to use the Segways. We cruised all over and definately got our money's worth. Many other tourists on feet(poor things) asked us about the tour as we sailed by. Great overview of Museum Campus, Buckingham Fountain, and other sites. You will have to be pried off the Segway. It was not that physically demanding on the legs. Go--run and get tickets. |

| The instructions said to be at the site 1/2 hour before the tour started, and we were. We had hoped that the training would start then and leave the full 2 hours to ride.
We had a delightful time on our tour.
Our tour leader, Sara, was thorough in her explanation of the equipment and safety procedures. She was very patient with everyone in the group.
We would most definitely do it again! |

| Training is simple and to the point. Segway is easy and very fun to ride, and it would take much longer and wear you out to try to cover that much territory walking. This is a "Must Do" experience! |

| Gavin did a great job introducing us comfortably to the Segway and leading the group. We even would like another tour that requires you to do hills, go a little faster, and practice moving turns. |

| Since the publicity of this revolutionary device first came to my attention, I had always wanted to be able to see what it really felt like to operate one of these gyroscopically balanced transporters. I had read about them, watched them demo'd on t.v. and observed them in the malls and airports. Finding one of the places that rents these out for a few hours allowed me and my wife the chance to exprience this without having to spend a lot of money. My wife was a bit apprehensive and even talked about backing out of the experience, since this transporter didn't look to her like it was safe to even stand on. Boy did she change her mind. The company gives some excellent pre-ride training to build up your confidence and after that, "let the fun begin". We had a blast and wished we could have spent more time with one of these toys. For something different on a nice afternoon date, here's the way to go! |

| This was a birthday present for my cousin who was in visiting from New Hampshire and had not previously been to Chicago.
The office staff were great...held jackets we didn't need. Filled out the paperwork in les than 5 minutes. They took an imprint of a credit card, just in case you kidnapped or destroyed the segway, but shredded it or returned it to you upon your return of the equipment.
In less than 10 minutes of training, our total group of 7 were almost experts and on our way to Grant Park and Buckingham fountain. The fountain turned on for the season just as we arrived!
From there we rode over to The Field Museum, The Shedd Aquarium and then Adler Planetarium. The view of Navy Pier and the Chicago skyline were awesome!
We ended up at Millenium park and the "bean". Took lots of great pictures and our guide also took many pictures for us. He was terrific.
The segway was very easy to ride and I woud recommend this tour to everyone... |

| My husband and I had a blast on our Segway tour. Jennie provided excellent training and then gave us a great tour of the lakefront. The Segway was fun to ride and an easy way to get around, even in crowded areas. It was also fun to watch the people on foot watching us cruise along. We have told all our friends about our Segway adventure and would recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago. We will definitely do it again! |

| My interest was more in riding a Segway for the first time, but the Park Glide turned out to be a hoot! Jennifer gave us a 30-minute training -- very clear and personal -- and since we were all learning, the group soon got chummy. Jenny set just the right tone -- fun, safe, knowledgeable. |
