| I've always wanted to ride a Segway, and really enjoyed the tour. The staff and tour guide were very nice, and the training session made me feel comfortable on the machine. Give it a try!
The tour guide asked whether we were interested in the information portion of the tour (about local landmarks and parks). We mostly just wanted to ride around so she ran through that stuff quickly. Don't pass this up if you live in Chicago! |

| Learning how to use the Segway was as much fun as going around Chicago on it. Tour guide was helpful and knowledgeable about various attractions along the tour. |

| A little daunting at first but very intuitive to use. A bit pricey. |
|

| THis is my third time, and it's a blast!
Despite the skill of our leader, though, the training took too long (8 people). For a 10:00 tour, we did not leave the training area until 10:50. I realize that this is group dependent, but given the number of staff in the office, it would've been helpful for one of them to follow us over, and help with individualized training where needed.
Because of this, our leader offered to go over the time by 10 min or so, but we had a committment, so didn't get to go around the perimeter of Millenium Park.
Note, a second group that went out at the same time as us (4 people) finished their training at 10:25. |

| The activity was great fun as well as informative. The tour leader, Hannah, was a very knowledgeable young woman who handled the group, with diverse individuals, very well. I highly recommend this experience. |

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 |

Good introduction to the Segway, but...

| 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. |

I would do it again
