| We arrived late (didn't read instructions and got there at 1:30 rather than 1:00. Tour people couldn't have been nicer, offered to catch us up! After a quick instruction we felt comfortable riding our new best legs. Within less than 20 minutes we were on our segways. Tour operators were great, informative and just fun to be with. They were relaxed and allowed us to go in a group rather than single file when it was appropriate which made it nice to be able to talk with our friends.
Righly recommend. Would definitely go again. One of the best tours you could take friends visiting Chicago ... people that live here would thoroughly enjoy it too. |

| I picked this activity thinking my 17-year-old son would like it. I didn't suspect I would have just as much fun as he did. At first, in the training, it did feel weird and unstable, and I was a little worried. But within minutes (thanks to our outstanding guide, Michelle) I felt like the Segway was reading my mind, and it was incredibly easy to maneuver. We were lucky, too, in that the weather (which was cold and dreary much of the week) was beautiful for our Segway tour. We will do this again, on any trip to Chicago, and I would recommend it to anybody looking to see the lakefront in a new way. I lived in Chicago for over 20 years, and never saw it quite this way. (Son says, "Just do it!") Fantastic! |

| Easier than riding a bike, makes walking obsolete, makes you feel like you're floating along. After 10 minutes on the Segway, all the scenery became the focus, not how I was getting there. Try it, you'll love it!! |

| Not only is this a great way to see the sites but riding the Segway is a blast. The tour begins with a short orientation and practice on the Segway which takes just a short time to be comfortable with. Once everyone has at least the basic skills you get to ride the laskefront with expert guidance from the tour leader who takes you to each location and stops for a brief overview and history. We visited: Buckingham Fountain; The Museum Campus (Aquarium; Planetarium; Field Museum); Monroe Harbour; Millenium Park/Grant Park. The Segway lets you cover more ground than you could walking while having fun learning to handle the machine. Highly recommended! |

| The time spent on learning the segway was crucial; and Cameron did a very very good job of making sure everyone was properly acclimated. He also was very watchful and careful during the entire tour.
The tour route was less spectacular. It seemed a long time to see not much. Especially since vehicles are not allowed in Millenium Park. |

| The Segway tour was one of the highlights of our Chicago trip. My daughter's friend visited from England and she and my daughter (both nearly 14) truly enjoyed it. The people did a great job of training us and were very safety concious. |

| I have always wanted to ride a Segway after seeing the security people weekly at Millenium Park riding Segways. It was a lot of fun. As someone who has lived in Chicago for more than 20 years, I knew the information on the tour, but Grant Park and the museum campus are beautiful places and offer great vistas of the city that you never get tired of. I waited to take the tour until I had out-of-town family to join me. I highly recommend the tour for the fun of riding a Segway and the chance to offer ou-of-town guests a great tour of the downtown park and lakefront. |
