| I visited Chicago with my sister and 15 year old nephew - booked this tour mostly because I thought the teenager would love it. He did, and we did - actually we were delighted with the whole experience. Learning to ride Segway took less than 5 minutes. People of all ages incl seniors were in our group and everyone was quickly able to handle the Segway within a few "practice" circuits of our starting area.
Tour guides were very helpful and entertaining as we wound through the park system. We got a great orientation of the waterfront from the aquarium and natural history museum to the south, up around Millenium park to the north, with Grant Park and the marina in between. If you are looking for a fun, active, unique experience this is it!! Worth the price - we will do it again and will want to exceed the 6 mph speed limit that is set for us beginners.
Be ready for the envious stares you get from other tourists! We were really glad we booked in advance because the city was very crowded on the weekend we visited (same weekend as the Airshow - also fabulous!) |

| I had always wanted to try the Segway since I first saw it. This tour helped fulfill that wish. The guide not only helped us learn how to navigate the Segway, but he also gave us some of the history of Chicago. I found the tour to be a great new way to see Chicago. I would recommend (and have) this tour for those looking for a great fun way to experience the Windy City. |

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Segway tour. The instructions on using the Segways were clear and we practiced enough to feel confident in proceeding along the sidewalks. Our guide, Omar, encouraged us to have fun with the Segways -- so we spun in circles, accelerated and navigated through close quarters. I recommend this activity to anyone, and hope optional longer tours will be offered the future. |

| While I was confident this would be an enjoyable activity, my family wasn't. They would now say it was the highlight of our 4-day trip to Chicago. Our guide, Anthony, certainly added to our enjoyment. He was very knowledgeable, personable and a patient teacher. He made a difference. We would certainly do this again and recommend it to anyone asking. |

| My comments would be that the experience was fun but there were some issues with the experience. The place did not have our reservation (did it on line with your service) and so there were too many people in the group. They had to take us but they didn't have enough charged Segways. So we found units and the minute we left, mine was beeping and had to be replaced. That took 10 ninutes and then another persons took 10 minutes so the Segways weren't the most reliable. The tour was nice but the guide was not very informative about the site. We ended up using up time along Lake Michigan in this open area and just drove back and forth. I would have preferred seeing more and hearing about the places.
So it was fun but I think the other guy (guide) may have done a much better job and woudl want more reliable Segways.
