| When I was given the opportunity to visit Chicago for a few days, I conducted internet research of the city's offerings to plan an itinerary. It was through this research that I learned of the Segway Experience of Chicago Park Glide Tour. A moderate sports enthusiast and seeker of new experiences, I was eager to try a Segway tour.
In spite of having a strong desire to ride a Segway, I was initially a bit nervous and awkward in its use. I was too stiff and my movements jerky. But with a little practice I became more relaxed and fluid. I am grateful to Andrew our tour guide, as he was both patient and instructive. He even offered to take photos of me on my Segway along the way, something I appreciated as a solo tourist.
I highly recommend a Segway tour, and this outfitter in particular. This Segway tour was both fun and informative. My thanks to the Segway Experience of Chicago team.

| AWESOME Mike was such a great teacher and tour guide. Our group varied in age, but everyone was up to confident status on the segway after the short lesson and practice. Mike knew the facts about what he was showing us and was great at answering the questions and giving the extra tidbits of info along the way. We recommend this to anyone remotely thinking about it. |

| We went on a Segway tour last summer in St. Marteen that was nowhere as good as our tour in Chicago. We got to do a lot of riding, our guide was very knowledgeable, our group was just the right size, and the price was fair. We were also blessed with beautiful weather that day! |

| i expected to be able to take off on the segway from the get go, but the balance, stopping, turning took me about 30-45 minutes to feel comfortable. for a two hour tour that is a substantial amount of time, but nonetheless, the tour was fun and challenging. i would recommend of most anyone that is curious. we enjoyed a fairly uncrowded time of day at the parks, so that was a definite plus. i would not recommend trying to navigate through a crowd in grant park, for example.
our tour guide was great at patiently explaining the techniques and focusing on safety. he did an excellent job! |

| 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. |

| I had heard of a few places that do this and these guys were the only authorized company so I went for it. My 19 yr daughter & I did the 2 hr tour on Monday (Memorial Day) and it was a perfect day wetaher wise. The young guy who led our tour was gracious and a great trainer and was very helpful an knowledgable. I will be back with others and use these guys again !!! This is a fun, safe way to see the city... a blast !! |

| We had a group of 8 family that had 6 first time Segway riders and this company was fanstastic about teaching us and making us comfortable with the Segway. I highly recommend them and do not be scared, nervous or worried, you are in good hands.
Our guide was Scott and he was absolutely the best! He was witty, knowledgeable and patient with us. He gave us some options on where we were going etc. and was quick to point out some interesting spots or information that even as locals we did not know.
This is the most friendliest group of employees I have every encountered and would recommend them as THE choice for Segway tours in Chicago! |

| We did the park tour on a Sunday morning and had a great time. It was our first time ever riding a Segway and our tour guide (Andrew) was terrific. Learning to ride the Segway was fairly easy, but did take a little getting used to. We covered a lot of ground on the tour, so were able to see a lot in a short amount of time. I would definitely do it again or maybe try the Architectural Tour next time. Bring gloves if it's chilly out! |
