| I really enjoyed the segway tour of Chicago's museum campus. The segway was easy to operate and allowed the tour to progress at a reasonable speed in both crowds and in open areas.
It rained for a bit during our tour and we were not slowed down at all.
best thing: you sight-see without fatigue. It requires no more than moving your wrist, shifting your weight and standing in place. How easy is that?

| Other segway tours in town go for 3 hours, for the same price, aside from that, it was perfect. |

| We had a great time riding the Segways for two hours. Yes there is a Chicago tour involved and yes one gets to see a lot of city scenery, but the real focus is to learn how to ride the Segway unit and to enjoy it for a couple of hours. Our tour guide (Dan, I believe) was very pleasant and gave us very good instructions on the use of the units. I would recommend this to anyone interested in doing something fun and different. |

| My husband and I both felt this was one of the highlights of our recent trip to Chicago. It was a beautiful day and our guide was extremely helpful and thorough on giving us tips and putting us at ease with the machine. In a matter of minutes we felt comfortable with controlling it and had no problems whatsoever. One negative comment on the office staff. We arrived early and they suggested we might want to get water before the trip and pointed outside to a nearby shop, which we took advantage of and paid about $2 a bottle for the water. Just before the tour started, however, the office staff sold bottles of water for $1 a piece to folks who arrived on the late side. Our take on that was we should have gotten there just before the tour to get the deal on the water. Otherwise, everything was first class and we loved the experience.

| Ever since I talked with a security guard at Millenium Park who was riding a segway I wanted to have the experience too. Having seen several groups gliding around the lakefront, I "googled" to learn where and how I could sign up for such a ride and tour.
Family visiting from out of state was the final push to go.
Instruction was good and thorough, the guide was attentive to the group at all times as we moved on to our route, the route itself was just right in length, and as our confidence grew, it was easy to maneauver anywhere.
We got back to the Segway office by threading through quite a lot of pedestrian traffic (it was Labor Day weekend), often being the subject of camera shots and questions from bystanders.
I recommend the tour to any adventuresome person and might very well do it again. |

| Really enjoyed the tour. It was a unique way to get around and see the city. Our guide was very personable. Just riding the Segway was a lot of fun however, if you're looking for a guided tour with lots of commentary on the city this may not be the best option as riding single file made it difficult to hear the guide if you were at the back of the line. Regardless I would reccomend this tour. |

| Really enjoyed the experience and the tour guide did a nice job. I've already shared my experienece with many co-workers who were interested in leaning more. My only wish would have been able to go a little faster once we had been on the segway for a little while. |

| The segway tour was loads of fun. We got to see the city and historical building and features that would have been impossible on foot. What a great way to tour and have fun all at one time. |

| I had always wanted to try the Segway since I first saw it. This tour helped fulfill that wish. The guide not only helped us learn how to navigate the Segway, but he also gave us some of the history of Chicago. I found the tour to be a great new way to see Chicago. I would recommend (and have) this tour for those looking for a great fun way to experience the Windy City. |

| We are 65 and 66 years old and enjoyed the Segway tour immensely. It was easy to learn to use despite our initial apprehensions and it was fun getting around Chicago on wheels. Guides were patient with everyone and informative on the tour.
It would be nice if Segway could provide a "certificate of accomplishment" for first timers. It would provide a nice souvenir for tourists. Or perhaps a little Segway ornament as a remembrance of a great time.
We would definately do it again. |
