| Really enjoyed the experience and the tour guide did a nice job. I've already shared my experienece with many co-workers who were interested in leaning more. My only wish would have been able to go a little faster once we had been on the segway for a little while. |

| The segway tour was loads of fun. We got to see the city and historical building and features that would have been impossible on foot. What a great way to tour and have fun all at one time. |

| The Segway experience was a highlight of our visit to Chicago! Our tour guide was extremely helpful as we learned how to operate our Segways...then provided insteresting facts about the area as we toured the park. We've already recommended the tour to friends and will, most likely, sign up for another Segway tour in the future. |

Everyone should experience the Segway!

| You know what you're doing is cool when people stop you to ask you about it. Everyone is interested in these beasts - they are so-o-o awesome.
The only drawback was that they don't let you go fast enough. |

| Our guide was a young man named Ed and he did an awesome job of explaining all the safety instructions and details on operating the segway. He was educated on the the downtown sites and did a great job. The only suggestion I have is, when it comes time to take the 10 minute break, why not take the break in an area where there is shade? We happen to have a hot. humid day and the break was by the shedd aquarium right in the hot sun. Of course the downtown view was spectacular but it was hot... |

Excellent time, even in the rain.

| I loved the trip, as well did my wife. Our friends on the other hand had some dexterity issues. She slipped on the mud and fell, and after that was only wishing the entire thing was over with. I will definitely recommend this to anyone that isn't afraid of a little adventure. The instructors were very nice and attentive to everyone's needs. I wish I lived in Chicago so I could go do this more often. I want the 12mph key!!! They should offer one ride a week for 'advanced' users that have ridden them before to be able to run the higher mph's. Even though it was raining the entire time we were out there, we had the most fun I had the whole weekend during those 2 hours on the segways. |

| The five of us that did the Segway tour on Saturday had the time of our lives! We loved every second and even the rain didn't diminish the fun. We look forward to more friends coming so we can do it again. |

| I visited Chicago with my sister and 15 year old nephew - booked this tour mostly because I thought the teenager would love it. He did, and we did - actually we were delighted with the whole experience. Learning to ride Segway took less than 5 minutes. People of all ages incl seniors were in our group and everyone was quickly able to handle the Segway within a few "practice" circuits of our starting area.
Tour guides were very helpful and entertaining as we wound through the park system. We got a great orientation of the waterfront from the aquarium and natural history museum to the south, up around Millenium park to the north, with Grant Park and the marina in between. If you are looking for a fun, active, unique experience this is it!! Worth the price - we will do it again and will want to exceed the 6 mph speed limit that is set for us beginners.
Be ready for the envious stares you get from other tourists! We were really glad we booked in advance because the city was very crowded on the weekend we visited (same weekend as the Airshow - also fabulous!) |

| I had always wanted to try the Segway since I first saw it. This tour helped fulfill that wish. The guide not only helped us learn how to navigate the Segway, but he also gave us some of the history of Chicago. I found the tour to be a great new way to see Chicago. I would recommend (and have) this tour for those looking for a great fun way to experience the Windy City. |
