| My 12 year old grandchild loved the freedom of the ride. I thought my leader (Sarah) was excellent. I enjoyed the views of Chicago that I had not seen before. |

| Our 16 year old son said - "this is the most awesome thing he's ever done." That is certainly high praise coming from a teenage who usually just grunts.
The guides were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. An unforgettable experience. This is definitelyl on our list for or next trip to Chicago. |

| We thought it would be fun, and it was, but we also learned a lot about the city. Our guide was very knowledgable and told us the history as we toured. We covered a lot more area than if we had walked, and it was very easy. A "must do" when visiting downtown! |

| Omar did a great job instructing people on how to ride the segways. Although we had previous experience with another segway tour in the recent past, we got excellent instruction, and more importantly, he did a great job explaining the landmarks and gave us all chances to ask questions. He pointed out historic, artistic and architectural points of interest of Chicago & skyline. |

| This was the most fun. Learning to ride the Segway was easy. And buzzing around the Chicago lakefront was a blast. We had a small group of 4, from 15 to 65 years old. All took to the Segway like a duck to water. Our guide was awesome! No "canned tour, shut up and listen", she gave us what we wanted and was a joy to be around. This is a MUST DO event. I have a friend from home who is Chicago bound in 3 weeks. He's already planning to do this. |

| Our guide was enthusiastic and helpful. She provided the group with great instruction and good information on the sites around Chicago. She was more than happy to take pictures of us and the other family in your group. |

| For me and my group I would say words just can't fully describe this Segway Chicago Tour.
First the tour company that operates this adventure is, to say the least, laid-back and super friendly. Our group of 5 people arrived on time (half hour b4 tour) and were welcomed like we were Donald Trump or the like. We watched the short (and sometimes funny) video on the do's and don'ts of Segway operation. Were issued helmets and yellow vests. Assigned a Segway and wheeled (pushed) them across Michigan Ave to a park for training. Short and sweet training. Grasp handles, and get on the machine. After a 45 second test run we were given 10 minutes to practice. Then off to cruise some Chicago sites.
Grant Park, Field Museum, Soldier Field, Shed Aquarium, Lakefront and the Band Shell and many points inbetween.
TIM our AWSOME group leader is very knowledgable of Chicago history and current events. Tim has impeckable customer service skills, and a semi-comedian (don't quit your day job).
I am currently getting another group together so I can get back on two wheels, ASAP. |

| Tim, our guide, was very helpful in both the instruction and tour, obviously very safety conscious since we had kid(12 y/o), teens and adults in our group. He was very knowledgeable of the Chicago area 'tour stories' and was fun to be around. The Segways' were well kept and all of them worked through the entire tour. The store/ office location was easy to find and get in and out of. Not only would we 'ALL do this again', we would tour with 'Segway Experience' without considering anyone else. The kids have already posted the pics on their FaceBook accounts. AWSOME FUN TIME.
Never done this before? IF you have downhill ski'd, water ski'd YOU already have the skill to do this. THX Tim, great time. Hubs Family. :) |

| We would recommend this activity as it is easy, fun, and interesting. It does not take long to master the Segway and most people will be able to easily ride a Segway. The tour guide did a great job of teaching us how to use the Segway. We covered a lot of ground in 2 hours and could not have done this on foot. Segway's are also just very fun to ride. Wear good support shoes, as you are standing the whole time and your feet will get tired. |
