| I was impressed with the Zerve service quick response. I inadvertently entered the wrong email address and a rep. from Zerve called the same morning to clarify the email address for e-tickets. |

Great time had by all!

| It was awesome - very fun activity for teenagers with their parents. It's hard to find things that appeal to teenagers, esp. boys and this was a perfect thing to do with our 14 year old son. Easy to learn and fun to do! |

| It's not easy dragging two 13 year-old boys away from video games and computers on the weekend in search of something entertaining and exciting: my son rolled his eyes when I suggested this tour and tried to worm out of going! But when I brought a friend of his along, suddenly it seemed "cool" and by the first 15 minutes, both of them were incredibly enthusiastic and would gladly do it again. Of course, I had secretly wanted to try it myself, and loved every moment... |

| Our guide Sarah was lovely (part tourguide, part drill sgt., part sweetheart) and its been my stepson's dream to take the tour for awhile. It was great.
All the best,

| Riding the Segway around Chicago was an excellent way to see a lot of things in the city without killing your feet. Of course, using the Segway itself is half the fun of the tour. I highly recommend this activity! |

Great experience but leave wallet at home.

| About the wallet recommendation: it's so you don't buy a Segway on your way out.
This was a terrific birthday gift, as 1: we were visiting Chicago, 2: had always lusted after Segways but never ridden them, and 3: it lived up to our expectations.
Great tour guide with decent basic knowledge of the area (there's a reason for hiring theatre majors) and good teaching skills. No video to watch, just a quick lesson and off. The group was comprised of ind'ls from 30-60, and all became quickly adept at riding and maneuvering these intuitive machines.
Our round-trip included the Grant Park area from the Art Institute to the Shedd and along the lake. My only disappointment was not being allowed into Millenium Park, which I had expected. But that's easily overcome with a short post-Segway walk.
I've recommended this to several Chicago residents. I'll do it again when I return.

| I am not very coordinated and was concerned that I would not get the hang of the Segway. Robert our guide was very patient and excellent in explaining how the Segway worked. It rained for part of our tour but they had ponchos available to buy. They took us sightseeing and were always watching our group to make sure everyone was at ease on their Segway. Robert was most informative on the history of the places we went. I can not recommend this experience enough, I had a wonderful time and would do it again in a heart beat. |

| The whole experience was good. Tour guide/instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable about segway and sites. Very family friendly would recommend and would also do again. |
