| A unique opportunity to try out a segway. Our group leader was friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent teacher or what is a surprisingly easy skill to grasp. |

| What a blast. Riding a Segway was easier than I imagined. Buying the tickets online was a breeze. Everyone at Zerve and the Segway tour was helpful and friendly. I would definitely recomend this to anyone wanting to have a fun and "out of the ordinary" activity!!! |

| Four friends (of different coordination abilities) got together for a fun day of touring Chicago's Grant Park and museum campus. Our guide (Josiah) was patient and thorough in his training which made for a very fun and successful Segway experience. I would do this again and again. |

Interesting & unique way to see the city!

| 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. |

| I have lived in the Chicago area all of my life and have done every tour, event, program the city offers, but this one was AWESOME. Buzzing around the lakefront and museum campus on segways just made me appreciate our fabulous city all over again. My two teenage boys who generally roll their eyes when I suggest a day in the city had a blast and even learned many fun facts and pieces of information about the city, its architecture, the Fire, the World's Fair, soldier field, etc.
Bottom line - we are blessed to live near such a great city and the Segway tour just gave us one more opportunity to enjoy all it has to offer.
Our guide was fabulous, Segways were easy to learn, etc.etc. etc.
Five stars for sure! |

| Took the park City Gilde Tour with Mike!! It was so much fun we didn't want it to end.
It was a postcard perfect day to be in the city and the sights were magnificent. This is a great tour for families, as they go into some fun and interesting facts about the city and achitecture, but not enough to bore the children!
Our kids are 13 and 16 and we all had no trouble learning to maneuver the Segway.It's super easy and smooth! There's about a 20 minute training session prior to the actual start of the tour. Highly recommended! Mike was awesome!
We even stopped for a Chicago Style Hot Dog during the tour! YUM!! |

| This is a great way to get around town, experience something new and share it all with friends or strangers. Definitely gives you something to write home about. Tour guides are fun, informed and very helpful. |

| Mike led us on a fantastic tour. He spent time with us ensuring proper training on use of the Segway, which was a critical issue for me since I have a 12 year old daughter. She did great as well as my 13 year old son. They loved every minute of the tour. I thought Mike did a particularly good job of telling the stories of the city, its architecture and museums. Lively and enthusiastic. Great tour guide for a great tour. |
