| My 14 year old son and I recently went on the 2 hours tour. Although a stiff breeze off the lake kept us chilly we had a great time. I didn't realize how easy the segways are to ride. The instructor was very good and pointed out landmarks during the tour which was an added bonus. I have and will continue to recommend the tour to anyone that askes.
thank you |

Excellent Tour for Locals and Visitors!

| I am a Chicago resident and took the tour with my best friend who lives in Philadelphia. The tour had the perfect balance of interesting info about the areas covered in the tour, and moving around on the Segways (which was really the main attraction!). Jeff, our tour guide, was so personable and patient with those in our group who took a little longer to get the hang of the Segway. He had a great sense of humor and good stories to tell. Two hours was just the right length of time for the tour--although since the weather was perfect on the day we went, no one wanted to get off the Segways!
One of the people in our group was in her late 60s and took a little longer to get a feel for how to move the Segway, but she did it and good for her! The minimum age for the tour is 12 and I think some 12-year-olds might not be good candidates unless they are mature (not daredevils), have good balance, and can understand the concept of shifting their weight to control the machine. I highly recommend this tour! |

| The experience was great (thanks Kristen)! Being on the Segway definitely imbues you with a "coolest kid on the block" feeling, as kids point and tourists take photos and video, as you glide on by. |

| I thought that this was a great activity! It was really fun to get to use the Segways and we got to see many great highlights of Chicago since we could get around faster than on foot.
My only complaint is that the description on the website made it seem as though the registration and training all took place a half hour before the tour and that the tour was a complete two hours. In fact, the training took place during the first half hour and the tour was the remaining hour and a half. I think an hour and a half is long enough for the tour, I just think that the advertising of the tour should be clearer and more accurate. |

| My son loved the Segways. O.K. so did we. Maybe just a little more historical info would be nice. The guides were just great though and very nice and fun. |

| My wife and I are both 68 years old, but we found the Segway to be easy to learn and easy to ride. It was great fun and thoroughly enjoyed the 2.5 hours. We can't wait to do it again with our children and grandchildren.

| The Folks at MySegwayTour were extremely helpful. I brought two C level clients into town for their first Chicago visit. My clients enjoyed the tour and had alot of fun.The guides were friendly, knowledgable and professional. I would recommend this tour to anyone from business professionals to families. I have already recommended this tour to a VP of sales for his team outing.
Thank You For Everything!

| It's not easy dragging two 13 year-old boys away from video games and computers on the weekend in search of something entertaining and exciting: my son rolled his eyes when I suggested this tour and tried to worm out of going! But when I brought a friend of his along, suddenly it seemed "cool" and by the first 15 minutes, both of them were incredibly enthusiastic and would gladly do it again. Of course, I had secretly wanted to try it myself, and loved every moment... |

| When I was given the opportunity to visit Chicago for a few days, I conducted internet research of the city's offerings to plan an itinerary. It was through this research that I learned of the Segway Experience of Chicago Park Glide Tour. A moderate sports enthusiast and seeker of new experiences, I was eager to try a Segway tour.
In spite of having a strong desire to ride a Segway, I was initially a bit nervous and awkward in its use. I was too stiff and my movements jerky. But with a little practice I became more relaxed and fluid. I am grateful to Andrew our tour guide, as he was both patient and instructive. He even offered to take photos of me on my Segway along the way, something I appreciated as a solo tourist.
I highly recommend a Segway tour, and this outfitter in particular. This Segway tour was both fun and informative. My thanks to the Segway Experience of Chicago team.

| This tour was very fun and informative. The segways are easy to learn how to ride and although we were nervous at first, by the end of the tour we were doing figure eights and not ready to get off. The only thing we would have different was to do this tour at the beginning of the trip, because it gives you an overview of the city and lets you see things that you would want to see closer up later. Oh and other key advice, wear comfortable shoes with some support, we both rode in sandals but wished we had been in tennis shoes. |
