| Being new travelers to Chicago, we didn't have our bearings on the layout or what to do when. This activity was awesome. Our guide was very knowledgeable, helpful and wanted the tour to fit what we wanted it to be. Not ever being on a Segway before, it was very easy to get the hang of and as the week progressed in Chicago, we wished for a Segway all the time...We had a blast!!! |

| I took my out of town visitors for a Segway tour of Chicago and it was a blast! It was a perfect combination of fun (the Segway is really easy to ride, but you feel like you've learned a new skill, and everyone smiles and waves as you go by), great sights (we covered a lot of ground down Michigan Ave, to the park at Buckingham Fountain, south along the lake to the Field Museum, and back to the edge of Millennium Park) and information (our guide was excellent and gave just the right amount of information about the history, architecture, famous people, and the sights we were seeing).
I would HIGHLY recommend this as an experience for both out of towners and Chicagoans! |

| One word "AWESOME"! My friend from New Jersey was coming in for a few days and she wanted to see Chicago, so I went online to the Chicago Tourism site to see what we could do and this was one of the options. I read the information which was very informative and easy to understand. I made a reservation for Friday April 24th @ 1:30pm. We could not have asked for a better day, warm and sunny. Our guide was Will, a young gentleman who was absolutely adorable. We got a 15-20 minute lesson, which was very helpful and off we went. The tour we took was the museum campus' and it was great. Will was a very good guide. I am sorry to say that I do not remember the other guide's name but I know it was his brother so I apologize for not remembering his name. He was great as well. Once we were done with our tour we went back to the shop and I talked to the other gentleman and Dan to let him know what a great time we had. They are all great guys! I will definitely spread the word to everyone I know and come in contact with that this was the best experience that I have had in a while. I will be passing out the brochures that I was given to all my co-workers. Again, great experience, wonderful guides!!!! SEGWAY'S ROCK! |

| I signed me and my 14 year old son up for this experience at the last minute and it was one of the best experiences of our Chicago trip. The segway was great fun to ride and Mike our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great way to see Chicago, save on our feet and have loads of fun! |

| I have lived in Chicago for 25 years, but saw and learned many new things. I was a little nervous at first about learning to ride the Segway, but it was very easy to figure out and very fun to ride. Also we loved Mike, our guide! |

Absolutely the BEST way to see the Chicago!!

| If you can only do one tour in Chicago, do a segway tour. You get to learn about the city, get some great photos AND have an awesome time zooming around on segways. What more would you want?! |

Exceptional overall experience.

| The Segway Experience delivered exactly what it promised; we received far more personalized attention than on a bus tour and covered more ground than on a walking tour. Our small group was far more intrigued by gliding with the segways than taking in the sights. Nevertheless, Mike was a phenomenal guide: patient, knowledgeable, and friendly--not to mention good looking!
I highly recommend the Park Glide Tour. It is a phenomenal way to take in Chicago's museum district regardless of the season! |

| Great tour guide, saw a lot of great parts of Chicago. Wish we got to spend more time just riding around on the segways. Thanks for a great day! |

| I chose a segway tour primarily because I have been on a segway before and loved it and also because I was time limited and had a small window of 1.5 days to see & experience Chicago. I felt the segway tour was a quick and fun way to see the major sights and I didn't want to do the conventional tour-guided bus thing.
I had a really great time scooting across Chicago on a Segway. It is actually quite stable and easy to control if you remember to make slow & controlled body movements forwards and backwards ( I tried to play around a bit and when you jolt it too much it can shut-down... so just play by the rules).
The scientists out there will really appreciate the mechanism and physics involved in how this segway operates.
The speed limiting on the segway is a good idea for those rev heads who have a tendency to speed and like the smell of burning rubber...so basically the speed of the segway won't scare you, if anything you will want to go faster at times but generally the pace is good & safe, especially since the track at times has downward slopes....perfect for the superman within!
The segway tour was great as I would not have walked to the places we stopped at and it gave me a great perspective of the Chicago City in a short timeframe. It was a very cold and snowing day so it was freezing, which at times was a little uncomfortable but they can provide snow suits, otherwise dress warm if your doing it in the winter.
In summary a great tour with great guides in a fabulous city. Good for all ages, keep the child within!!! Go Segway!! |

| This was our second Segway tour. We had a great time and the one member of our family who had not been on the previous tour wants to know when we can go on another. Highly recommend! |
