| We had a great time on the Chicago Segway tour. The guides were both fun and informative, and doing the trip on a Segway was awesome. We'll definitely be doing so again next time we're in Chicago. |

| We braved the cold Chicago winter temperatures to go on this tour and it was well worth it! Our tour guide, David, was excellent. We really liked having the opportunity to ride Segways for the first time. We also enjoyed the Chicago scenery and information provided by our tour guide. Because it was winter, we were the only people on our tour - it was basically a private tour without a private tour price tag.
I would recommend this tour to anyone, regardless of age. Riding a Segway is really easy and a great way to see the city! Because you are able to cover more ground more quickly than walking, it is a great way to explore a new place. Try it out and you'll have a great time! |

| I love to do new things and when I heard about the Segway tour I knew my wife and I had to do it. I'm the adventurer and my wife is the reluctant follower; she was, to say the least, skeptical. By the time we completed our tour, with our group leader David, she was going on about how we could present the tour to our adult children as gifts and, she was grinning from ear-to-ear! She loved it and so did I. We recommend it as a "MUST DO" when visiting Chicago. Special kudos to David...he was fantastic!! |

| Being local to Chicago, we've seen and done quite a bit as far as exploring the city and utilizing various tourist services. Our Segueway tour provided that unique twist to a birthday present which was enthusiastically received. Our Team Captain, David, was engaging, educational and made the experience fun for the whole group.
We've already recommended this activity to easily 10+ people - and are looking forward to the opportunity to entertain our next set of visitors in the spring with a Segueway experience! |

| We went because we thought the idea of segways in downtown Chicago would be hilarious. We were right! If you're going for an informational tour, this is not for you. However, if you want to see the museums and the lake and cover alot of ground, do it. The segways made the tour. |

| We were instructed to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the tour start time of 11:00 am. When we got there at 10:25 the door was locked and two employees were waiting outside but no one had a key. We were told that the person wityh the key would be along in about fifteen minutes. Almost an hour later he showed, and we started our training, then eventually the tour.
Now, consider the fact that out tickets were non-refundable and could not be rescheduled. Top it off with a big fat hold harmless disclaimer and an agreement, secured by my credit card, that said if anything was broken I would pay the replacement price - including the cost of the entire Segway ($3,500 +). These are pretty high standards and requirements to hold the buyer to considering the guy with the key couldn't even show up on time.
Riding the Segway was fun and the route we took pretty good. Staff were polite and extremely friendly. Guide was ok - didn't have much in the way of accurate and detailed facts, history, etc but put in alot of effort. We didn't much care though because all we wanted to do was ride the things.
The Segway ride was fun, easy to do, and worth a try.

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and found it very enjoyable. Our tour guide Jenny and Docent Joyce were very informative, professional and helpful. We were pleased with the pre trip set up and instruction. From the time we entered to check in to the end of our tour it was a very positive experience.
We felt the tour was a great balance of "ride time" and information and learned a lot about the fascinating history of Chicago. As we had our 13 and 16 year old children on the tour with us they found it a great experience. As a consequence we would definitely plan to do it again either in Chicago or another city where the tours are available. |

| Easier than riding a bike, makes walking obsolete, makes you feel like you're floating along. After 10 minutes on the Segway, all the scenery became the focus, not how I was getting there. Try it, you'll love it!! |
