| The segway experience was not my cup of tea. I enjoyed the tour, however; the actual segway machine was something I could not master in the short time I was on the machine. I feel the company needs to give people more practice time on the machine before putting them in the busy streets of Chicago. Going up hills and stopping was not an easy task for this rider.
Next time, I'll stick to walking.... |

| My husband, sister and I all loved riding the segways. My sister and I were both a little scared at first but later agreed that by about midway through we felt like the segways were a part of our bodies. They moved so easily with gentle leaning forward and back! My husband was not that interested in joining us but confessed (as always) that like my sister and I he had a delightful time breathing the fresh lake air, seeing the skyline, flora and lake and hearing the historical comments by Derek. Thank you for a lovely tour. |

| The Segway experience was a 10+ for me. The feeling of moving freely at a faster pace with a machine that feels as though it were a part of me was quite a high. The guides were kind, courteous and, most importantly, patient. I hope to catch the architectural tour next time I visit Chicago. |

| Just the best way to tour the lakefront. We enjoyed the beautiful sights of the city, learned some interesting history, and had a blast riding the Segways! Our guide was knowledgable and friendly. I would do this again! |

| I was on a short vacation to IL from CA. IL used to be my home. Brought my boyfriend along to see Chicago for the first time. I was looking for a way to show him the city in 2 days. The Segway was a perfect way to do this. We did not have a lot of time to tour the city and show him each tourist attraction but the Segway experience was very satisfying for him. I have been to Chicago many times as a college student and have lived near the city for about 8 years in the past. Now that I am living in Northern CA, I had to show my boyfriend what a great place Chicago is. I had a bit of trouble using the equipment but still enjoyed the tour. It was fun. Will have to come back and do it again. Thanks guys. |

| Even though I've lived in Chicago for most of my life, I still enjoyed this new "view" of the place. Tour guide was patient and informed. Great fun all around |

| My teen son and I enjoyed our tour very much. The segway experience was a wonderful way to spend a few hours on a sunny morning. The 2 hour tour was great, but 3 hours would have been more to our liking.
Learning to ride a segway was much easier than we had expected. After 10 minutes we were fully confident in our ability to navigate through the city.
Our tour was made even more pleasure filled by our tour guide Dave. He is a senior at Columbia College studying to be an actor. He has a very personable way about himself, and supplied us with many interesting factoids of the city during the tour.
The segways we rode were limited to 6 mph. Being able to experience the ride at the higher speeds the segway is capable of, is something we would wish to see in the future.
