| It was a great experience for my whole family. My son has already requested to come back for his 15th birthday this fall and I look forward to coming back.
Our tour guide, Tim, was fun and knowledgeable of the city. We would definitely do another tour with him as our guide.
I recommended this activity to my coworker and he brought his family as well. He informed me that it was a hit! The Segway Experience is a great idea for a date, a family outing, a special occassion, or even a unique gift. I highly recommend.
Sincerely,
Vanessa Severance |

| Our friends from Ohio came up for a Chicago experience. They like a little adventure and this had it all. Sara taught us well so it was easy to use the Segways. We cruised all over and definately got our money's worth. Many other tourists on feet(poor things) asked us about the tour as we sailed by. Great overview of Museum Campus, Buckingham Fountain, and other sites. You will have to be pried off the Segway. It was not that physically demanding on the legs. Go--run and get tickets. |

| To find anything that a teenage boy will enjoy away from playstations and his Ipod is a problem that most parents struggle with when sightseeing in a new city. Our son loved the Segway tour even though he was the only 16 year old in the group. We loved it too a great way to see some of the city landmarks and such fun to ride. In fact we enjoyed it so much that I have just convinced friends that we are travelling to San Francisco with later this month to do the same there. |

| I have been on segway tours in Paris and in Washington DC through a different company. This tour was 2 hours for $70. Both of the other tours I was on was 3 hours for $70. Also, this tour was less personal, they didn't ask our names or have us introduce ourselves to each other. THey didn't allow us to go faster than 6 mph, where both other tours gave us an hour to orient and then bumped us up to the faster keys. Overall, I was slightly disappointed with this tour. We were really only out on the machines for an hour and a half. We didn't see anything besides the skyline and we had time at the end where they asked us to go around in circles in a tiny little park to say goodbye to the machines. I paid for a tour of a city. I didn't get that. |

| We loved the segway park tour. It is a little trickier than some might believe, however. Out of a group of 8, three ended up falling. Our guide was charming and helpful, though she didn't know all that much about the places she was describing. If you go, consider doing it in the parks rather than the sidewalks, and think about times when there are not likely to be a lot of pedestrians. All in all, we thought it was the highlight of our visit to Chicago to see our grown son.

| Omar did a great job instructing people on how to ride the segways. Although we had previous experience with another segway tour in the recent past, we got excellent instruction, and more importantly, he did a great job explaining the landmarks and gave us all chances to ask questions. He pointed out historic, artistic and architectural points of interest of Chicago & skyline. |

| Both tour guides for the morning did not show up for work. Another person in the office had to take us out. The group was very large (16) vs usualy 8. 3 people had falls, no one got hurt, but the group leader did not know about 2 of the falls because she was too far ahead. |

| It's not as hard as you might think. the instructor was very good and ensured we not only got the hang of the Segway but also that we were safe.
I would highly recommend it as you not only get informative commentary on the sites around Grant Park etc but it's great fun as well. |
