| Ever since I talked with a security guard at Millenium Park who was riding a segway I wanted to have the experience too. Having seen several groups gliding around the lakefront, I "googled" to learn where and how I could sign up for such a ride and tour.
Family visiting from out of state was the final push to go.
Instruction was good and thorough, the guide was attentive to the group at all times as we moved on to our route, the route itself was just right in length, and as our confidence grew, it was easy to maneauver anywhere.
We got back to the Segway office by threading through quite a lot of pedestrian traffic (it was Labor Day weekend), often being the subject of camera shots and questions from bystanders.
I recommend the tour to any adventuresome person and might very well do it again. |

| Our guide was a young man named Ed and he did an awesome job of explaining all the safety instructions and details on operating the segway. He was educated on the the downtown sites and did a great job. The only suggestion I have is, when it comes time to take the 10 minute break, why not take the break in an area where there is shade? We happen to have a hot. humid day and the break was by the shedd aquarium right in the hot sun. Of course the downtown view was spectacular but it was hot... |

| All three of our family members really enjoyed the experience. The training was well done by a very friendly young man who led the group extremely well. We really liked the tour but will always remember the experience of using the innovative segway machines in the park and on the lakefront. Thanks for something we will always remember. We will definitely do it again if we are in Chicago! |

| We are 65 and 66 years old and enjoyed the Segway tour immensely. It was easy to learn to use despite our initial apprehensions and it was fun getting around Chicago on wheels. Guides were patient with everyone and informative on the tour.
It would be nice if Segway could provide a "certificate of accomplishment" for first timers. It would provide a nice souvenir for tourists. Or perhaps a little Segway ornament as a remembrance of a great time.
We would definately do it again. |

It was a much fun as we anticipated.

| The people in the show room were efficient and professional. The tour guide was friendly and very helpful as well as being very competent. The instruction period was just right and the directions given were very clear. The tour itself, was also well done - nice scenery, informative narration and about the right length for beginners. We plan on going on other Segway tours! |

| I did this with my 14 year old grandson, and we had a great time. The tour was very professionally run and lots of fun. Our guide (Sarah) did a great job of teaching us how to handle the Segway and leading us through Grant park. |
