| All three of our family members really enjoyed the experience. The training was well done by a very friendly young man who led the group extremely well. We really liked the tour but will always remember the experience of using the innovative segway machines in the park and on the lakefront. Thanks for something we will always remember. We will definitely do it again if we are in Chicago! |

| I always thought the segways look like fun, now I know.
We were lucky to ride on a Tuesday, the foot traffic wasn't as busy as a Saturday or a
Sunday would have been.
The guide was fun. |

| Our family enjoyed the Segway tour a lot. I don't recommend it if you really want an informative or detailed tour of Chicago. It is really all about the Segway. Like most people taking this tour, I assume, I had never been on a Segway and was curious. It was easy to learn and very safe. The instructor was very patient and personable. The tour is a great way to spend time with the family and get oriented to downtown Chicago. It seemed expensive at $70 per person but was well worth it.
If going in the summer, I recommend sun block and sun glasses. A hat is not necessary since you wear a helmet. We were worried about punctuality but it was very relaxed and if you are late, I am sure they will wait on you. |

| I have been on segway tours in Paris and in Washington DC through a different company. This tour was 2 hours for $70. Both of the other tours I was on was 3 hours for $70. Also, this tour was less personal, they didn't ask our names or have us introduce ourselves to each other. THey didn't allow us to go faster than 6 mph, where both other tours gave us an hour to orient and then bumped us up to the faster keys. Overall, I was slightly disappointed with this tour. We were really only out on the machines for an hour and a half. We didn't see anything besides the skyline and we had time at the end where they asked us to go around in circles in a tiny little park to say goodbye to the machines. I paid for a tour of a city. I didn't get that. |

| The Segways are incredible and extremely fun to ride. They seem "alive" in the way that they adjust to your every move. Such incredible technology. I want one for my own, now.
Very personable staff and training was complete. This was a highlight of our weeklong Chicago vacation. |

| This was the perfect activity for our group. We were a combination of family and out-of-country guests, aged early twenties to mid-fifties. Everyone mastered the Segway immediately, our guide was young and enthusiastic, we learned a few things about Chicago and had a blast. The Cool Globes that are out now (August 2007) were a big plus. |
