| Jeff, our guide, was knowledgable and a lot of fun to be with. We had three people in our group including Jeff so we were able to ask many questions related to the Chicago Skyline and development of the City of Chicago. In two hours we saw more of Chicago than we could see in a whole day without the Segways. The tour was worth the price! His directions were explicit and easy to understand and follow. Riding the Segways was an experience we will repeat in other cities and look forward to returning to Chicago to "do" the other Segway tours that are available.
Only the next time, we will Segway first, then go back to the locations that appeal to us. |

| My husband and I loved the tour. Our guide, Josiah, kept us entertained and informed throughout the entire tour. Riding the segways was an awesome way to get a quick overview of the city. We highly recommend it. Thanks Josiah! |

| Josiah was an excellent tour guide, patient with younger kids and experienced. The address to your shop should have a plot plan along with the ACTUAL address. The address you give is confusing and could cause someone to miss their tour and lose their money. The tour was fun and I recomment it. |

| Very different experience--but be prepared for cool conditions. It was about 60F when we went, but with the wind blowing off the lake some of our group was shivering.
With a Segway, you're really just standing on a platform racing down the street, so there's not much physical activity to keep you warm.
Dress for at least 10 degrees cooler than actual air temperature.
Our guide was very pleasant, knowledgeable about Chicago and of great assistance in teaching our group to ride..
An older woman with us (60's) never really got the hang of it (balance issues?) and walked back the last two blocks. |

| The staff had a great manner working with first-time Segway riders--all the way from the sign in on out. The training period was very good but I could see it was tedious for one person who was on her third Segway tour...wish they had an "advanced" tour where you didn't need a half-hour instruction period. The tour was well-arranged with the various stops/points of interest being explained well. I thought, however, that we stopped too much and we didn't have adequate opportunity simply to ride the Segway without interruption. However, this was a GREAT experience to enjoy in Chicago and I have recommended it to family and friends. My wife and I would likely take another Segway tour in the context of introducing another couple to it but, if it were just the two of us, we would want a more advanced experience, as noted above. |

| This is a definite must for anyone visiting the city. It was not only fun riding around on the Segway’s, but also informative with great views. I was a little skeptical that my parents would be able to ride the Segways, but they caught on right away. The guides were great, very courteous and helpful. |

| Leaning to use the Segway was easier and faster than I expected. Once on the go it was a great experience. Great tour guide who knew Chicago from the museums to sports with politics inbetween. Couldn't have been better. |

| We enjoyed very much the Segway Experience on Chicago Parks. The engine was very easy to handle, the scenery just wonderful and our guide, Jeff, was a very nice and intelligent young student. It was the most thrilling activity we did in that town. |
