| Never been on a Segway before, but it only took a few minutes to get the hang of it. Quite an amazing machine. Guide was very personable. Only problem was that although we covered about eight miles in two hours, the guide didn't really stop and describe or explain the things we were seeing. That was too bad. But fun experience none the less. |

| Fantastic! We had never been on a Segway before and were a little apprehensive. Everyone in our group was able to learn how to safely operate the units with 15 minutes of instruction and practice. By the end of the tour we were all masters!
The tour guide was knowlegable of the city, helpful, fun and enthusiastic. He made the tour even more enjoyable.
Great sights and photo shoots on tour.
If you're driving to this tour you'll need to find parking. There is a parking garage around the corner from the office. |

Competitor offers better value

| I went on a 2 hour evening tour and a few months ago I'd been on a segway tour in Chicago by City Segway Tours. Their evening tours are 2 hours, but their daytime tours are 3 hours vs. 2 hours for this company during the day and the City Segway tours used the black key starting out and about halfway through they used yellow key which allowed us to ride the segway a little faster. Their price for the 3 hour tour was $75.
I wasn't unhappy with the tour and our guide did a good job, but if a competitor offers 2 speeds vs. 1 and a 3 hour daytime tour vs. 2 hours, what would you pick? |

| The best part was driving the segway. Our tourguide Hannah was very friendly and infromative. I have recommended it to my friends. The worst part was the helmet/orange vest get up ;) |

| We showed up a half hour early as instructed and ended up waiting 25 minutes to get started, then the "training" occured during the first half hour of what should've been the tour. One Segway in our group of 8 had mechanical difficulties and had to be replaced, so we all had to wait for it to arrive from the shop. The guide made up for lost time by going over the end time by a half hour. Luckily we didn't have a tight schedule so only had to keep our other friend waiting for us for 45 min. The tour itself was nice, and flexible as to where we went. The Segways are easy to get used to and everyone in our group seemed to have fun. The weather was perfect, so we lucked out there - considering Chicago weather near the lake. The Segway staff was nice and competent - no worries there. |

| My girlfriend and I had never been on a Segway before, so from that perspective, the tour was fun. I was hoping it would have been more of an informational tour. It was by no means a bad experience, I guess I had imagined it to be something different. |

Never again

| Nice people, but the segway is a lot more difficult to manage than they lead it to be, i launched off mine and fractured my right arm big time, they took us through a place down by the water front around a bunch of globe art, the path was to narrow, and when a young child stepped in front of me my only choice was to launch off my segway, i am not awaiting surgery and a long recovery.....think about it long and hard before you commit,, i only completed less than half the tour with my husband, and they did not even offer to refund my ticket, they where more concerned about their liabiality than anything else, calling and wanting to know how i was, as if they really cared.........never again |
