| My interest was more in riding a Segway for the first time, but the Park Glide turned out to be a hoot! Jennifer gave us a 30-minute training -- very clear and personal -- and since we were all learning, the group soon got chummy. Jenny set just the right tone -- fun, safe, knowledgeable. |

Best way to see the lake shore!

| We arrived late (didn't read instructions and got there at 1:30 rather than 1:00. Tour people couldn't have been nicer, offered to catch us up! After a quick instruction we felt comfortable riding our new best legs. Within less than 20 minutes we were on our segways. Tour operators were great, informative and just fun to be with. They were relaxed and allowed us to go in a group rather than single file when it was appropriate which made it nice to be able to talk with our friends.
Righly recommend. Would definitely go again. One of the best tours you could take friends visiting Chicago ... people that live here would thoroughly enjoy it too. |

| I picked this activity thinking my 17-year-old son would like it. I didn't suspect I would have just as much fun as he did. At first, in the training, it did feel weird and unstable, and I was a little worried. But within minutes (thanks to our outstanding guide, Michelle) I felt like the Segway was reading my mind, and it was incredibly easy to maneuver. We were lucky, too, in that the weather (which was cold and dreary much of the week) was beautiful for our Segway tour. We will do this again, on any trip to Chicago, and I would recommend it to anybody looking to see the lakefront in a new way. I lived in Chicago for over 20 years, and never saw it quite this way. (Son says, "Just do it!") Fantastic! |

| Scary for one of our members but lots of fun for the test of it. Not much info on the tour but segwaying around was a lot of fun. |

| We knew we would have fun, but was even much better than we thought! The weather wasn't great so we give al the credit to the tour guide, Michelle from the Chicago store, and to the machines themselves. From the moment we walked in the door, we were laughing & smiling with the staff, sorry don't remember the other gals name but she was equally delightful! Michelle went out of her way to make sure we had a great, safe, fun tour. My husband, me and my 15 yr old daughter and 2 of her friends all thought it was awesome!! Thanks!! |

| We had a great time, especially when I stole a little kid's hat and got chased by the cops. Luckily I had the orange key so my segway was able to elude the five-o at 12 miles an hour. It was a little scary playing chicken in the middle of Michigan avenue with a cab driver but luckily he turned at the last second and smashed into a fire hydraunt.
I also didn't realize that you could give someone a shoulder ride while tooling around on the segway. I was certain the two people on one machine would be too much weight for the machine but alas, I was wrong.
The absolute best moment on the segway was when I mooned the parade crowds right before we handed in our segways.
Our guide for the day was Michelle and she was very professional, friendly, and fun. I will probably rent a segway again the next time I visit Chicago.
