| I am a local resident who needed friends to come in from out of town as my excuse to take a Segway tour of Chicago's Downtown Lakefront. Our group had a fantastic time and we loved, loved our tour guide, who was full of information, funny and patient with us! I would highly recommend a Segway Tour to both locals and definitely visitors! |

| We showed up in a rain storm and Omar took me and my husband out for the full two hours. We refused any chance to take shelter because we were having such a great time. The freezing rain off lake Michigan was a challenge - just keeping our eyes open, but the two hour glide around Grant Park and all the landmarks of Michigan Avenue were the best tour I have ever taken in my life. I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was spectacular! We will do it again, and every year we possibly can. Grant Park was the perfect place. The fall colors and the sculptural trees were unforgettable. We learned interesting things from Omar, who never lacked for enthusiasm, information and conversation. He was an unforgettable guide - and off to class at the end of the tour. What a guy. I hope he had some dry clothes... we did. |

| We had a great time on this tour. The guide was well informed and careful to make sure we all enjoyed the experience. We've taken Segway tours before, it's a great way to become acquainted with a city, and this was one of the best we've been on. |

Segways are fun, but tour was lacking in city info

| The segways were fun and a great way to see the city, but the tour guide did not provide any true direction to the tour. Landmarks were only discussed if the group asked a question about something specific, which is quite challenging for someone who is not from Chicago and doesn't know anything about the city. Bike Chicago provided a much more efficient tour to truly learn about Chicago.
Segways were also the older models that did not have newer features such as leaning to turn rather than using the handle bar switch. |

| The instructions provided for operating the segways was excellent. The tour guides knew their material and were enthusiastic about their job. This would be a particularly fun group activity. |

| I liked riding the segway and the guide did a good job or attending to this aspect of the tour, but the commentary was very weak and unsophisticated! |
