| The guide did a good job of instructing us on the Segway. It is not difficult, but you need to know some basics before you start. The guide was well informed about the sights we passed and took precausions to keep us together. We had a private tour and saw things we might not otherwise have seen. |

| Not only is this a great way to see the sites but riding the Segway is a blast. The tour begins with a short orientation and practice on the Segway which takes just a short time to be comfortable with. Once everyone has at least the basic skills you get to ride the laskefront with expert guidance from the tour leader who takes you to each location and stops for a brief overview and history. We visited: Buckingham Fountain; The Museum Campus (Aquarium; Planetarium; Field Museum); Monroe Harbour; Millenium Park/Grant Park. The Segway lets you cover more ground than you could walking while having fun learning to handle the machine. Highly recommended! |

| The Segway experience was great! It was the first time on the equipment and it was no problem after a careful demonstration and practice prior to going on the tour. Our tour guide, Cameron, was very knowledgeable and attentive to the group. The tour explored the Museum campus, Grant Park/Millenium Park and the Adler Observatory and Lakefront. Thanks for the wonderful experience-it was great!

| Great to see the city of Chicago on a Segway. Really worth the trip and we had a great time. Our tour guide in particular was very nice.
I would strongly reccomend this trip for anyone who is visiting Chicago.
Not to mention getting to ride a Segway is just a really cool experience. |

| This was such fun. Being a "local", I was more interested in riding the machine than seeing the parks. Our route was just an added bonus. I wondered if I would be able to operate the Segway and I quickly learned that it was not that difficult. Yes, there was that original hesitancy which I overcame. I was in control. The next day I did have a few achey muscles caused by my own tension, but it was well worth the experience. If I can do it, anyone can do it! |

| I was very leary for a person of my age to be able to ride the Sedgway. Once I was able to get the hang of it, it was loads of fun and I had no fear. The instructors were very patient and pointed in the dos an don'ts. My only wish was that the group could have been divided into those who felt confident riding the Sedgway and those who were chicken and caused problems and were white knuckled.
Too bad we were not allowed in the Mil. Park.
I would do it again if I could ride with confident riders. |
