| I had injured myself because of being given a huge Segway when I specifically asked for the smaller, more controllable segway but there were none left in the store to use. I really think the store representative should had used the big one and allowed the paying customer, like myself, use the one of my choice. The company leader did this so sneakedly----left me for last in the group (since I was the young guy--and said here is your SEGWAY--the "big boy". What could I say when no other one was available and everyone else had their vehicle and were ready to go? Terrible experience!
Never asked me is OK...just gave it to me!
I also expressed my concern about the competitor company giving one extra hour of riding compared to this one, but they would not listen. I wish I would had gone to the other company who was able to travel the Millenium Park. etc.
My next trip I will not come home with sores on my knees and elbows-----because I will be given the correct size Segway--the one I had specifically asked for paying $70. This company was not prepared for large crowds at all. They must remember the CUSTOMER.
One more issue---the brochure said come in one half hour earlier for training---that was not part of the two hours. I have no idea why 45 minutes of the two hours was taken up with training....not according to advertisement.

| Our family did the Segway tour as a group (children are teen-age) and we all enjoyed it tremendously. The tour was well-run, and the tour guide (Adam) was really good at providing tour-guide information, but balancing it with our desire to just ride for the fun of it..... He kept a good eye on the less confident riders, and provided lots of hints to help us adjust to the machines.
The actual mechanics of the Segway were pretty easy to master - we were given a couple of minutes of one-on-one instruction, followed by several minutes of practice in a protected area, and that's really all we needed to feel pretty comfortable with the riding. The tour through Grant park provides really cool views of the city, and allows you to travel a lot more of the lakefront than could be managed on a walk. We picked a bright, sunny day, and it was equally fun for all of us. |

| Keep up the good work. Every time a friend comes to visit me in Chicago for the first time, I make sure that they don't leave without us taking a Segway tour. Keep up the good work! |

| My parents (72 and 79 years old) were in town and they were game to try the Segway Experience ... and we had a blast! Jonathan was a super nice and knowledgeable guide, and after a short training session, we were zipping around Grant Park, Museum Campus and the Lake Front. I can whole-heartedly recommend the Segway Experience ... if my folks who are great-grandparents can do it, you can do it! |

| My husband and I choose to do a Segway tour because we were celebrating our 7 year anniversary. What a fun way to spend together, laugh and learn more about Chicago. We are locals but most of the information I gained was new information and things I did not know about the city. Our group was a nice sized group and our tour guide was very relaxed and made everyone feel comfortable. He took his time in helping us become familar with our Segways before touring and was available at all times if we needed help. It was a great experience and something I would recommend for both locals and those from out of town who would like to see Chicago in a different way. Thanks for a wonderful time! |

| This was a great experience. The Segways are fun and easy to use. Our guide was friendly and outgoing. I am a local but we saw parts of the lakefront that I had never visited. My youngest son (12 y.o., 100 lbs) barely made the age and weight requirement but he had no trouble at all managing the vehicle. Highly recommended. |
