| 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. |

| Great service--both via Zerve and in the office the day of the visit. Our guide trained us well and was most patient with two "mature" folks. We took the tour at 10 AM on Thursday, 6/12 in downtown Chicago. We have already recommended it to several friends and plan to take visitors on the tour again sometime soon.
Thanks, C R M |

| Although I was a little nervous at first, I had a blast on the Segway! The instructor/tour guides were very thorough & made us all feel comfortable. We have told all our friends about it & it will be a great memory for us! |

| My husband and I purchased the segway experience for my brother and his wife for a Christmas present.
What a wonderful time we all had!! Laura was just great and made our experience even more enjoyable.
If I had one thing I would recommend - it would be more practice time upfront, so you feel more sure of your self driving the segway.
Other wise a totally enjoyable experience! |

| Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable about Segway and about Chicago sights. I was nervous about learning to use the Segway but it turned out to be very easy and a very fun experience. It's great way see a lot without long, long walks or taking the buses, etc.
Worth it! |

| This was a fun experience. It was a gorgeous day and after a training session we took off and had a great time touring Grant Park and the museum campus. The tour guide was informative and friendly, and made sure we were all operating the Segway safely and gave us plenty of warnings.
This did not keep me from clipping a wheel on the final block and falling hard onto the sidewalk. In fact, out of 8, 3 of us had mishaps. Mine was definitely the worst, and I survived, but I would not recommend this trip for the elderly.
I think we were adequately trained, but if you take this tour, know that accidents can happen and keep your attention on what you are doing - in my case another tour participant started up a conversation with me and I just looked away for a second.
I would also recommend taking this trip early in the day when the streets and parks are not too crowded. |

| The weather was terrible, but we had a great time. Our guides were personable and knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed their jobs. $75 sounded steep at first, but if you've never ridden a Segway before, this tour is worth twice that much. Highly, highly recommended! Great "walking tour" for an older person. |

| We really enjoyed the new experience of riding/driving a Segway. Our teacher/tour guide, Omar, was great! He was a patient teacher and gave us confidence as well as teahing us about Chicago. He was able to read our group and interact well with us.
Our group ranged in age from 44 to 75 years. It was an activity that all of us could do with equal ability and enjoyment. The Segways worked well and all safety precautions were taken care of. Thanks! |
