| 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! |

| Our guide had incredible knowledge of the architecture and insight to the history and future developments of the area! Since our trip was short, it was great to see such a large portion of the waterfront in only 2 hours! Even if you aren't interested in the sights of Chicago's Lakefront, the segways are incredibly fun and worth the adventure in themselves. I highly recommend this activity! |

| We had a great time! The segways were super easy to learn and extremely fun to ride around, and we saw a lot of amazing Chicago sights including soldier field (my personal favorite). I would recommend this tour to anyone without hesitation. |

| We were a little hesitant about how we could handle the segways but it turned out to be so much fun and our tour guide Josiah knew everything about the city, was able to answer any questions we had and was a great teacher for our first experience on the segways. We would recommend it to anyone and would do it again if we were in the area. We learned alot about the city, history, architecture and were able to see sights you normally wouldnt see from just driving by in a car or bus. I had purchased these tickets as a gift for my best friend and he loved it. |

| After waiting to do a segway tour for two years, I was afraid the excitement and buildup might leave us disappointed. I was very wrong! This was such a fun tour. I have lived in Chicagoland my whole life but learned a lot of fun things about the city from our tour guide. He was fun and energized. Despite the learning of course, the segway-ing was also a treat. I have zero balance or coordination and yet had no problem manipulating the machine.
Definitely recomend this! |

| My husband and I loved the tour. Our guide, Josiah, kept us entertained and informed throughout the entire tour. Riding the segways was an awesome way to get a quick overview of the city. We highly recommend it. Thanks Josiah! |
