| My two daughters, grand daughter and myself had a lot of fun. Our guide was very good and described things as we went along our tour. We all said we would like to do this again. |

| Josiah was an excellent tour guide, patient with younger kids and experienced. The address to your shop should have a plot plan along with the ACTUAL address. The address you give is confusing and could cause someone to miss their tour and lose their money. The tour was fun and I recomment it. |

| Four friends (of different coordination abilities) got together for a fun day of touring Chicago's Grant Park and museum campus. Our guide (Josiah) was patient and thorough in his training which made for a very fun and successful Segway experience. I would do this again and again. |

| Very different experience--but be prepared for cool conditions. It was about 60F when we went, but with the wind blowing off the lake some of our group was shivering.
With a Segway, you're really just standing on a platform racing down the street, so there's not much physical activity to keep you warm.
Dress for at least 10 degrees cooler than actual air temperature.
Our guide was very pleasant, knowledgeable about Chicago and of great assistance in teaching our group to ride..
An older woman with us (60's) never really got the hang of it (balance issues?) and walked back the last two blocks. |

| We very much enjoyed our tour with Mike . He was informative and very charming. The segways are fun after a short learning period. I was only a bit sore the next day. I highly recommend it especially if you want to please your teens.!! |

| I have lived in the Chicago area all of my life and have done every tour, event, program the city offers, but this one was AWESOME. Buzzing around the lakefront and museum campus on segways just made me appreciate our fabulous city all over again. My two teenage boys who generally roll their eyes when I suggest a day in the city had a blast and even learned many fun facts and pieces of information about the city, its architecture, the Fire, the World's Fair, soldier field, etc.
Bottom line - we are blessed to live near such a great city and the Segway tour just gave us one more opportunity to enjoy all it has to offer.
Our guide was fabulous, Segways were easy to learn, etc.etc. etc.
Five stars for sure! |

| The Segway Park Tour was the highlight of our trip to Chicago. We had briefly walked through part of the area earlier but the Segway tour gave us a complete history of that part of Chicago as well as the skyline, the Lakes, and other facts. Mike, the guide gave us an excellent orientation and learning session about handling the Segway. The information about the landmarks were interestingly presented, and timed to include even those at the back of the group (me). In addition, every person at the segway meeting place was friendly, helpful, and a wealth of information about Chicago. |

| Took the park City Gilde Tour with Mike!! It was so much fun we didn't want it to end.
It was a postcard perfect day to be in the city and the sights were magnificent. This is a great tour for families, as they go into some fun and interesting facts about the city and achitecture, but not enough to bore the children!
Our kids are 13 and 16 and we all had no trouble learning to maneuver the Segway.It's super easy and smooth! There's about a 20 minute training session prior to the actual start of the tour. Highly recommended! Mike was awesome!
We even stopped for a Chicago Style Hot Dog during the tour! YUM!! |
