| Staff was very friendly and informative. If you have any fears, get rid of them. No need to fear.... They will take you through evrything you will need to know. You will watch a video on the dos and don'ts. Once you are out they will spend more time with you to ensure you know exactly what you are doing. Our guide Andrew was GREAT! He is friendly, patient and a lot of fun. Try it out, you will have a blast. OH yea, IT'S SAFE! |

| Fun experience, beautiful day in downtown Chicago. Guides were entertaining and informative with lots of trivia about landmarks. We live about 100 miles from Chicago and have told friends and co-workers about how much fun our family had, I know of several people who are going to come and try the Segway Experience! We highly recomend! |

| My daughter who is from NYC and I who works locally in Chicago did this tour this August. Learning to handle the Segway was a breeze. Each one only needed about 5 minutes and we were off to do the Lakefront tour. We had already visited the tour spots earlier during the week but we were looking forward to the Segway experience while again looking at the same sites. It's a totally different feeling when you're on a Segway. You feel like you're on top of the world. People also can't help but look at you as you proudly move through the various sites.
The tour leader was very affable. He gave historical background on the various sites that we visited although I wish that he gave a lttle bit more of the unique tidbits for each of the sites instead of just the plain textbook info.
My only gripe is that the tour was pricier for the 2 hour tour as compared to 5$ less for the competitor for 3 hours. We also had the later model Segways with the handgrip navigation instead of the newer models where you tilt the handlebar sideways to turn left or right.
In any case, this is still worth the money for a first timer. |

| My sister and I took two of our children (teenagers) on a weekend trip to Chicago. The segway tour was a highlight of our vacation. Adults as well as children will enjoy the experience. We had a beautiful day and it was a wonderful way to get a quick tour of Chicago and enjoy the lake. Although I was a bit nervous at first, the segways are very easy to ride. We all had a great time and would do it again. We didn't want the tour to end. |

| The adventure was great fun - on all levels and I would recommend it to all. However our guide Andy was a mixture of fun, information, adventure and immaturity. He gave a great tour and took us places that were different & asked us what we wanted - this was terrific. but when he spent considerable time showing off how he could ride his segway sitting down or backward, but didn't explain to me how to stop quickly when he clearly had the skill himself...it just felt like showing off.
He was really wonderful and engaging and then would do something on his segway that I would expect from a teen skate boarder.
He stressed over and over that we all should leave 12" inches on either side of us at all times. Makes perfect safety sense. But then when he took us through Millennium Park sidewalks filled with people where it was impossible to keep even a few inches on either side of us - this was thoughtless. When he made a quick left turn on the side walk and my partner tried to follow him but there was no room on either side of her to do so and this resulted in her falling off her segway - this was both thoughtless and unsafe.
His manner was charming- his intentions were clearly to give us all a good time - but his immaturity or need to show off got the better of him. We would do this again but with a different guide |

| My husband and I went on tour after hearing in-laws rave about it. There was a big group going out on tour, so it was split in half, with each group getting a guide. I was very nervous prior to stepping onto Segway, but after a few minutes my mind was at ease, so I could enjoy the beautiful sunny breezy Chicago afternoon. We went down to the lakefront, rode outside Soldier Field, Buckingham Fountain, and Grant Park to name a few. We stopped a couple of times in case anyone wanted to take pictures or just take a break. The tour guides went through a thorough orientation with us prior, watching a movie on Segways and once we went out, we were watched for a couple of minutes to make sure we caught on to the "experience." I would recommend this tour to anyone that enjoys the outdoors, and wants to do a little sightseeing at the same time. |
