| Even though we are life long Chicagoan's we enjoyed the tour and would do it again. You get to see so much more in the time alloted then you would otherwise. Our guide was knowledgable and easy to talk to. We told him early on we were from Chicago and he was able to tell us things we did not know about our city. |

| We really enjoyed the experience & recommend it to all that enjoy the outdoors. Nate and Jeff (trainee) were excellent tour guides and demonstrated that learning about the history of Chicago can be fun as well. |

| The activity centers around the segway itself, of course. Training was at the first in a park. It was fun, adequate, and gave plenty of time for the rest of the tour. We went over to the field museum, all along the river, to Millenium park (Segways aren't allowed but we toured the perimeter), etc., also including the fountain. My wife and I always felt safe and in control. Supervision from the tour guide Omar was helpful, and never constraining. We were allowed to try it in the grass, gravel, or just on the sidewalk, whatever we wanted. The length of the tour was perfect. If you want to enjoy what it is like to ride a Segway and see beautiful views of downtown Chicago, this is a must. I will definitely do this again.
Don't forget to dress warmly and don't forget your gloves and hat! |

| We showed up in a rain storm and Omar took me and my husband out for the full two hours. We refused any chance to take shelter because we were having such a great time. The freezing rain off lake Michigan was a challenge - just keeping our eyes open, but the two hour glide around Grant Park and all the landmarks of Michigan Avenue were the best tour I have ever taken in my life. I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was spectacular! We will do it again, and every year we possibly can. Grant Park was the perfect place. The fall colors and the sculptural trees were unforgettable. We learned interesting things from Omar, who never lacked for enthusiasm, information and conversation. He was an unforgettable guide - and off to class at the end of the tour. What a guy. I hope he had some dry clothes... we did. |

| We had a great time on this tour. The guide was well informed and careful to make sure we all enjoyed the experience. We've taken Segway tours before, it's a great way to become acquainted with a city, and this was one of the best we've been on. |

| The instructions provided for operating the segways was excellent. The tour guides knew their material and were enthusiastic about their job. This would be a particularly fun group activity. |

| I liked riding the segway and the guide did a good job or attending to this aspect of the tour, but the commentary was very weak and unsophisticated! |
