| We booked a tour on the morning of the 4th of July thinking the Segway tour would be a good way to get an overview of the city. It was but much more. It ended up being one of the highlights of our 5 day trip to Chicago. Beautiful city with very informative dialogue from the tour guide. We highly recommend the Segway Experience Segway tour. |

| My wife and me and our son and daughter-in-law signed up to take the tour together, even though I felt it was a little expensive and was worried that my wife might find it difficult. I was wrong on both counts! We had a great time and with our guide's help everyone quickly learned how to ride. My recommendation is "just do it!' |

| Segaway is an experience on its own. It is hard to compare it to a scooter or alike. It is a chariot with 5 invisible gyroscopic horses but better because after an hour of driving it feels like it is a part of your own body... Surprisingly, the tour was very interesting and informative. Our tour guide Andrew was very knowledgeable and attentive.
A lot of fun for your money. I'll do it again. |

| I thought the Segway tour was great. I enjoyed learning to ride and found it easy. The instructor was patient and helpful. The tour itself did not provide as much information as I would have liked. A scheduled break for a beverage or rest rooms would have been nice. Overall, it was a fun way to spend a few hours on the lakefront of Chicago. |

| We did this tour with 3 of our children, and though we were nervous at first, it was easy to get comfortable with the Segway. Our tour guide was helpful and enthusiatic. The weather was good, so we had a lot fun riding around the park and seeing the museums. I wish we could have gone even further! |

Really fun!
Great for those either from the Chicago area or for out-of-towners.
Our guide (Laura) was very knowledgable, fun and friendly, and patient as I was learning how to operate the Segway-- plus she sure knows how to handle her machine like second nature. Our guide also was very good at leading a group of newbies around-- even with the extra number of "tourists" because of the Taste of Chicago going on. |

| The main attraction of the tour was to ride the segway, and the experience did not disappoint. The segway is easy to ride and lots of fun. In addition, the tour was informative and showed me great views of the city. You get multiple benefits in this tour. You get the experience of riding a segway and you also receive a tour of part of Chicago. |

| This was a really fun experience. Just a word of caution though. You really need to have a fairly good sense of balance and not be intimidated by doing something physical. Being tense isn't good for this activity. You need to relax and shift your weight very subtly. Once you get your Segway legs, it's a real blast. A great way to see the sights of Chicago! |

| I took my wife and nieces on the Park Glide Tour on a Sunday afternoon, and everyone had a great time. You get comfortable driving the Segways very fast after your training. They don't start the tour until all the riders get enough practice driving them. We had two girls age 14-16 who at first were a little nervous, but quickly got the hang of it. The views of the Chicago skyline and lakefront are spectacular. It's a very memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone. |
