| I only had 1 full day to spend in Chicago and I wanted to get the most out of it. (Actually, I only had the morning since I had an afternoon appointment.) There were a lot of tours available from the double decker buses to the boat tours, I decided to go with the segway tour since I always wanted to try it out!
It was a very good experience and learning to ride was not that difficult. You just need to follow the tips given by the guide and you'll be ok, just remember not to be over excited with maneuvering because it takes some time getting used to it. (They give you practice time anyway.) The segway is a magnificent machine, very innovative!
Our guide gave a very good tour of the Chicago skyline, history and great tidbits on various things. It was a good ratio also as we were 8 to 1 guide, made it more personalized.
I really enjoyed my tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone I know. It made me want to get a Segway, but maybe sometime in the future. : ) |

| I had only been on a Segway for a few minutes about four years ago, and my wife had never ridden one. We were in Chicago for the weekend, and decided to take the Grant Park/Museum Park tour. She was frankly terrified at first, and almost bailed. However, thanks to the excellent instruction from our guide, Matt, she quickly overcame her fear. She loved the tour, and so did I. Matt was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, and kept the atmosphere light and friendly. There were only five in our group, including my wife and me. We liked it so much, we plan to do the Navy Pier tour the next time we're back in Chicago. For $75 per person, it's time and money very well spent! |

| 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. |

| It's not as hard as you might think. the instructor was very good and ensured we not only got the hang of the Segway but also that we were safe.
I would highly recommend it as you not only get informative commentary on the sites around Grant Park etc but it's great fun as well. |

Good, except some moments

| The tour was really funny and interesting. Organization level is pretty good. One moment that confused me is quality of equipment. Segways vehicles looks shabby. |

| We booked for the tour for the opportunity to try out a segway as much as to see Chicago's Grant Park. The machines are very intesting, we had plenty of training, and it didn't take long to master.
Our guide was very enthusiastic, and certainly knew her stuff about Chicago.
There were a couple of technical problems with some of the Segways, but they were quickly sorted out and I'm told problems are rare. They extended our tour by half an hour which more than made up for it. |
