| I heartily recommend this Segway tour to anyone interested in trying something different and seeing the city. I did the event with my 12-year old niece, and, although we had some difficulty adjusting to the machines, we were up and running fairly quickly. Our guide was incredibly enthusiastic, helpful and knowledgeable about the city. We originally had hoped to do the architectural Segway tour, but this shorter tour gave us ample opportunity to see the city without getting too tired. Our feet definitely hurt by the end of the two hours, and I wouldn't recommend it to people who are apprehensive about balancing themselves on the Segways, but it was definitely worth it! |

| Loved the whole experience. Only thing I didn't like was stopping to take a break in the park. Thought it was a waste of time, but probably some people can't be on their feet for that length of time. |

Fun

| What a great way to see Chitown.
I am recommending it to those who want to get outside and view the skyline. |

| My boyfriend and I did the City Park Glide tour on our last weekend getaway to Chicago. It was easy to do and a good way to see the city. Our tour guide Omar was knowledgeable about the city and entertaining as well. He was able to answer the group's questions as well as really made an attempt to speak to and get to know each member of our tour group. He even took pictures for us! The meeting place was easy to find and the whole reservation process was quite simple. I would definately recommend this to any one who wants to see the city in a new inventive way. |

| The activity centers around the segway itself, of course. Training was at the first in a park. It was fun, adequate, and gave plenty of time for the rest of the tour. We went over to the field museum, all along the river, to Millenium park (Segways aren't allowed but we toured the perimeter), etc., also including the fountain. My wife and I always felt safe and in control. Supervision from the tour guide Omar was helpful, and never constraining. We were allowed to try it in the grass, gravel, or just on the sidewalk, whatever we wanted. The length of the tour was perfect. If you want to enjoy what it is like to ride a Segway and see beautiful views of downtown Chicago, this is a must. I will definitely do this again.
Don't forget to dress warmly and don't forget your gloves and hat! |

| Riding the Segway was probably more fun than the tour itself. Our instructor (Dan) was very knowledgeable about the sights, but he also did a very good job in showing us how to use the Segway.
Our small group also allowed us to have a lot of attention from the instructor. I would like to do it again someday when it is not 35 degrees outside. |

Very fun way to get teens excited about touring!

| I have done this Segway Tour several times - both with family and business associates and clients. All love it and have subsequently either returned on their own or have made plans to return on their own - taking either their families, friends, associates, etc.
It's a lot of fun. Having done both the summer and winter tours, for first timers I would definitely recommend the summer tours.
I love the experience and will do it again. |

| This was truly our favorite tour of the city with the included fun of driving around on a Segway! This is the fourth time we have come to Chicago from San Antonio and the tour by far surpasses anything we have done, and we have pretty much done most of the tours of the city!
Thanks again for a great Seg-experience,
Carl
p.s.-We were so happy with our experience we bought the t-shirt too..... |
