| We did a 10 a.m. park park glide tour on a Saturday. What a way to see the parks! Andrew, our tour guide was great and riding the Segway was a blast. Instruction was superb and the group size was manageable. Highly recommend - worth every penny. |

| This was so much fun. It's way easier than we expected. Our guide, Omar, was very patient with everyone. At $75 for one and a half hours (+30 minutes of training), it's kind of expensive, but save up for it, because it is worth it. |

| Taking the Segway tour was a blast. My 23 year old daughter and I went and although she was a bit apprehensive, it didn't take long until she was right in the front with our guide. I had done it before in another city, but the tour in Chicago was great! |

| We were trained to ride a Segway at Disneyland. Therefore, we were experianced.
I felt the first time rider in our group needed more on board training.
The 1st generation equipment felt antiquated.
Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. |

| Now that we have done this in our hometown we will do this when visiting other cities. We had out of town guests in from California it was a great introduction to Chicago and then they were able to visualize where else they wanted to go. My kids (16, 18 & 20) want to do the other tour from Navy Pier now. Best part was riding the Segway. We were there 30 minutes ahead of time everyone used the restroom and we started early because the taste was going on and it was very crowded in the streets. Tour guide was
fabulous & fun. Recommended for all ages (our group was 16 to 50) everyone had a great time, bring a camera! |

| I am from Chicago, my husband had never been to Chicago and we booked a trip so I could show him my hometown. We signed up for several tours around the city so he could see as much as possible in 2 and 1/2 days. We took this tour and it was the best tour we took. Our tour guide was Laura and she was great. She took her time to show us how to use the Segway and made sure we were comfortable on them. Her knowledge of the city and the sights was great. She answered every question we had. You could tell she truly enjoys her job. The Segways took a bit of getting used to, I had never been on anything like it before, but I will certainly ride them again! Thank you so much for a great Chicago experience! |

| A great way to spend the day with out of town guests. Segways are fun and the scenery is great too.
A unique experience! |

| I would've expected the route to be detoured while the Taste of Chicago was going on. Instead we went directly through the crowd and that wasn't fun at all. We had a couple of incidents due to the crowd (stumbling off Segway, etc).
I suppose that may be why our Segways were set at such a slow speed. I've been on several tours in other states and we were always able to gradually increase the speed. When we finally got into open space, it was frustrating to only be able to go 6 miles an hour.
The tour was ok, but I wouldn't do it again. |
