| Great way to spend my 50th birthday!
Really fun!
Great for those either from the Chicago area or for out-of-towners.
Our guide (Laura) was very knowledgable, fun and friendly, and patient as I was learning how to operate the Segway-- plus she sure knows how to handle her machine like second nature. Our guide also was very good at leading a group of newbies around-- even with the extra number of "tourists" because of the Taste of Chicago going on. |

| We did this tour with 3 of our children, and though we were nervous at first, it was easy to get comfortable with the Segway. Our tour guide was helpful and enthusiatic. The weather was good, so we had a lot fun riding around the park and seeing the museums. I wish we could have gone even further! |

| I thought the Segway tour was great. I enjoyed learning to ride and found it easy. The instructor was patient and helpful. The tour itself did not provide as much information as I would have liked. A scheduled break for a beverage or rest rooms would have been nice. Overall, it was a fun way to spend a few hours on the lakefront of Chicago. |

| Segaway is an experience on its own. It is hard to compare it to a scooter or alike. It is a chariot with 5 invisible gyroscopic horses but better because after an hour of driving it feels like it is a part of your own body... Surprisingly, the tour was very interesting and informative. Our tour guide Andrew was very knowledgeable and attentive.
A lot of fun for your money. I'll do it again. |

| My wife and me and our son and daughter-in-law signed up to take the tour together, even though I felt it was a little expensive and was worried that my wife might find it difficult. I was wrong on both counts! We had a great time and with our guide's help everyone quickly learned how to ride. My recommendation is "just do it!' |

| We booked a tour on the morning of the 4th of July thinking the Segway tour would be a good way to get an overview of the city. It was but much more. It ended up being one of the highlights of our 5 day trip to Chicago. Beautiful city with very informative dialogue from the tour guide. We highly recommend the Segway Experience Segway tour. |

Too crowed or too slow

| I would've expected the route to be detoured while the Taste of Chicago was going on. Instead we went directly through the crowd and that wasn't fun at all. We had a couple of incidents due to the crowd (stumbling off Segway, etc).
I suppose that may be why our Segways were set at such a slow speed. I've been on several tours in other states and we were always able to gradually increase the speed. When we finally got into open space, it was frustrating to only be able to go 6 miles an hour.
The tour was ok, but I wouldn't do it again. |

A unique experience! |
