| Our tour guide was great and riding the segways was a blast. We got to see parts of the city that would be difficult to travel to on foot. We would do it again! |

If you get the chance - go for it!!

| Took the tour for the 3rd time in mid September, '07 - LOVED IT! Had a gorgeous day, and the tour was a blast! Went to many scenic areas and had lots of photo opps. If you ever get the chance to do it, don't pass it up. Our ages were 65, 55 and 44, and we all did just fine. After the instructions, the instructor and you are out on the sidewalks of Chicago. After about a 1/2 block, the apprehension and "fear" are gone and you're golden!! What a great way to see the city - I highly recommend it! |

Great Tour!

| This was really a wonderful tour! I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for making our trip so special. Our tour guide was really great too. I am blanking out on his name, but he's a college student from Detroit originally...just been doing the tours solo for a couple of weeks. He was funny but informative.

| An older gentleman with us became light headed and dizzy. It was a hot day. He said that he really needed to sit down for awhile and he did immediately sit right down on the sidewalk. He looked pale. We all gathered around. My husband offered to sit with him while the rest of us continued on for a few more minutes. Then our entire group went back to that spot. He was feeling much better and was able to finish the tour. But there were a few minutes of uncertainty when it seemed that some 'tourists' would be feeling they did not get their money's worth and yet no one wanted to leave the man whose life might be threatened. Just perhaps there should be a way to call out back-up. My husband had a cell phone and would have called 911 if things got worse. The man said that he had had a heart attack before so he know warning signs. Just a scenario to study. |

The Segway was fun. Wake up early for the AIA tour

| I've been on the AIA architecture river tour many, many times. It's my favorite thing to do with visitors from out of town. I don't think it's much of a stretch to also want to take the AIA Segway tour, too. OK, I admit it. I really only wanted to do it because I wanted a reason to ride a Segway. It was lots of fund. However, the AIA Segway tour is at 10 a.m. twoce a week. So, my out-of-town visitor and I took a non-AIA-guided tour at 5 p.m. instead. Although the 5 p.m. tour guides were nice young men, I'm willing to bet it's going to be worth getting up at the crack of dawn to take my next visitor on the 10 a.m. AIA Segway tour. On the other hand, if architecture isn't that important to you, anytime you have an excuse to ride a Segway in the company of nice young men is OK. |

Fun to learn the segway

| I thought it was an awesome tour - The Segway was a blast and I enjoyed the little history about Chicago that I didn't know. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and plan to do it again next summer.
Thanks agin for a great experience. |

| The segway experience was not my cup of tea. I enjoyed the tour, however; the actual segway machine was something I could not master in the short time I was on the machine. I feel the company needs to give people more practice time on the machine before putting them in the busy streets of Chicago. Going up hills and stopping was not an easy task for this rider.
Next time, I'll stick to walking.... |
