| The Segway experience is an activity that shouldn't be missed. It is fun and informative. I enjoyed hearing about the history of Chicago.The leaders are patient and good at giving instructions. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. |

| We had my wife's family in from all parts of the country. We wanted to do something that was different from the ordinary "touristy" thing to do. We also wanted to do something the teenagers would like.
The little guys in our group went to Navy Pier while the teens, aunts and uncles went to the Segway store.
We had 13 in our group, and the leaders were very helpful in keeping 2 leaders together so our group could stay together.
The weather was perfect. The group leaders did a good job of demonstrating the Segways. We had a blast running up and down lakefront.
I would recommend this trip to anyone interested.

| About the wallet recommendation: it's so you don't buy a Segway on your way out.
This was a terrific birthday gift, as 1: we were visiting Chicago, 2: had always lusted after Segways but never ridden them, and 3: it lived up to our expectations.
Great tour guide with decent basic knowledge of the area (there's a reason for hiring theatre majors) and good teaching skills. No video to watch, just a quick lesson and off. The group was comprised of ind'ls from 30-60, and all became quickly adept at riding and maneuvering these intuitive machines.
Our round-trip included the Grant Park area from the Art Institute to the Shedd and along the lake. My only disappointment was not being allowed into Millenium Park, which I had expected. But that's easily overcome with a short post-Segway walk.
I've recommended this to several Chicago residents. I'll do it again when I return.

| This was a birthday present for my cousin who was in visiting from New Hampshire and had not previously been to Chicago.
The office staff were great...held jackets we didn't need. Filled out the paperwork in les than 5 minutes. They took an imprint of a credit card, just in case you kidnapped or destroyed the segway, but shredded it or returned it to you upon your return of the equipment.
In less than 10 minutes of training, our total group of 7 were almost experts and on our way to Grant Park and Buckingham fountain. The fountain turned on for the season just as we arrived!
From there we rode over to The Field Museum, The Shedd Aquarium and then Adler Planetarium. The view of Navy Pier and the Chicago skyline were awesome!
We ended up at Millenium park and the "bean". Took lots of great pictures and our guide also took many pictures for us. He was terrific.
The segway was very easy to ride and I woud recommend this tour to everyone... |

| 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. |
