| I only had 1 full day to spend in Chicago and I wanted to get the most out of it. (Actually, I only had the morning since I had an afternoon appointment.) There were a lot of tours available from the double decker buses to the boat tours, I decided to go with the segway tour since I always wanted to try it out!
It was a very good experience and learning to ride was not that difficult. You just need to follow the tips given by the guide and you'll be ok, just remember not to be over excited with maneuvering because it takes some time getting used to it. (They give you practice time anyway.) The segway is a magnificent machine, very innovative!
Our guide gave a very good tour of the Chicago skyline, history and great tidbits on various things. It was a good ratio also as we were 8 to 1 guide, made it more personalized.
I really enjoyed my tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone I know. It made me want to get a Segway, but maybe sometime in the future. : ) |

Segways are the coolest things!

| This is a great way to see Chicago! I took seven cousins there on a Friday before a Saturday wedding and we all had a blast! The hosts were great. They were very friendly, laid back, and pretty much let our group do what we wanted. There were plenty of opportunities to go "off the beaten path" a litle and enjoy the segways. My only suggestion is to have the hosts talk in more detail about city sights and trivia. When compared to what you learn on the riverboat tour, you get less information on the Segway tour. If they firmed up their knowledge just a little, it would be perfect. |

| Scary for one of our members but lots of fun for the test of it. Not much info on the tour but segwaying around was a lot of fun. |

| 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! |

| We had a group of 2, so Pierce and Mike were our personal guides to Chicago. Pierce was personable, fun and passionate about Chicago. He knew what he knew and didnt make up what he didnt. I loved the tour and would certainly recommend it to anyone! Thanks a million. |

| A perfect birthday surprise for my husband. Cameron was a fun leader and we had a great time. I can't say it's the best way to sight-see, as I was really focused on staying in line and not running over any pedestrians, but it was a fun outing. |

| i expected to be able to take off on the segway from the get go, but the balance, stopping, turning took me about 30-45 minutes to feel comfortable. for a two hour tour that is a substantial amount of time, but nonetheless, the tour was fun and challenging. i would recommend of most anyone that is curious. we enjoyed a fairly uncrowded time of day at the parks, so that was a definite plus. i would not recommend trying to navigate through a crowd in grant park, for example.
our tour guide was great at patiently explaining the techniques and focusing on safety. he did an excellent job! |

| My husband took me on the segway tour for my birthday and we just had so much fun. What a great way to spend my birthday. Our guide Sarah was so knowledgeable, so enthuastic and so much fun that she was a big reason why we had such a great time. And Brendon, was great also. It was his first day and we thought he had been doing it for a long time. I have to admit I was a little nervous at first but with Sarah taking each one of us individually, explaining what we need to do to ride the segway and then giving us plenty of time to practice before we were "set free" that by that time I felt like a pro. I would highly recommend the Zerve segway tour - it is wonderful way to see the city of Chicago. |

| My husband and I travel a lot. So for our anniversary, we thought we would be tourists in our own city. The segway experience is a great way to see parts of the city that you never think about as a local. We went to Grant Park, Buckingham Fountain, up to Museum Campus, Solider Field and then to Adler Planetarium for amazing views of the city. Kristen, our tour guide, was friendly, knowledgeable and best of all fun! I would recommend this to anybody wanting to see more of the city… we are going to sign up for the architectural tour soon! |
