| My husband, sister and I all loved riding the segways. My sister and I were both a little scared at first but later agreed that by about midway through we felt like the segways were a part of our bodies. They moved so easily with gentle leaning forward and back! My husband was not that interested in joining us but confessed (as always) that like my sister and I he had a delightful time breathing the fresh lake air, seeing the skyline, flora and lake and hearing the historical comments by Derek. Thank you for a lovely tour. |

| The Segway experience was a 10+ for me. The feeling of moving freely at a faster pace with a machine that feels as though it were a part of me was quite a high. The guides were kind, courteous and, most importantly, patient. I hope to catch the architectural tour next time I visit Chicago. |

| Just the best way to tour the lakefront. We enjoyed the beautiful sights of the city, learned some interesting history, and had a blast riding the Segways! Our guide was knowledgable and friendly. I would do this again! |

| I was on a short vacation to IL from CA. IL used to be my home. Brought my boyfriend along to see Chicago for the first time. I was looking for a way to show him the city in 2 days. The Segway was a perfect way to do this. We did not have a lot of time to tour the city and show him each tourist attraction but the Segway experience was very satisfying for him. I have been to Chicago many times as a college student and have lived near the city for about 8 years in the past. Now that I am living in Northern CA, I had to show my boyfriend what a great place Chicago is. I had a bit of trouble using the equipment but still enjoyed the tour. It was fun. Will have to come back and do it again. Thanks guys. |

| Even though I've lived in Chicago for most of my life, I still enjoyed this new "view" of the place. Tour guide was patient and informed. Great fun all around |

| My teen son and I enjoyed our tour very much. The segway experience was a wonderful way to spend a few hours on a sunny morning. The 2 hour tour was great, but 3 hours would have been more to our liking.
Learning to ride a segway was much easier than we had expected. After 10 minutes we were fully confident in our ability to navigate through the city.
Our tour was made even more pleasure filled by our tour guide Dave. He is a senior at Columbia College studying to be an actor. He has a very personable way about himself, and supplied us with many interesting factoids of the city during the tour.
The segways we rode were limited to 6 mph. Being able to experience the ride at the higher speeds the segway is capable of, is something we would wish to see in the future.

| The segways were fun, however, as a tour this is quite lacking. Tour guides felt more like summer camp sports counselors than tour guides, not sharing anything about the sites we were seeing, talking more about segways (like they were trying to sell them) rather than about the city. However, segways were very fun to ride, easy to learn on, and a great way to get around. Just make sure to take a real tour ahead of time so you know what you're looking at. |

| We had such a great time on the Segway tour. The guides were wonderful, nice people who provided information about each of the tour stops. The tour was extremely scenic (we had a perfect weather day) and just so incredibly fun! I went with 5 other friends, which made it even better. We all said the same things about it and would highly recommend it. |
