| I have lived in the Chicago area all of my life and have done every tour, event, program the city offers, but this one was AWESOME. Buzzing around the lakefront and museum campus on segways just made me appreciate our fabulous city all over again. My two teenage boys who generally roll their eyes when I suggest a day in the city had a blast and even learned many fun facts and pieces of information about the city, its architecture, the Fire, the World's Fair, soldier field, etc.
Bottom line - we are blessed to live near such a great city and the Segway tour just gave us one more opportunity to enjoy all it has to offer.
Our guide was fabulous, Segways were easy to learn, etc.etc. etc.
Five stars for sure! |

| Took the park City Gilde Tour with Mike!! It was so much fun we didn't want it to end.
It was a postcard perfect day to be in the city and the sights were magnificent. This is a great tour for families, as they go into some fun and interesting facts about the city and achitecture, but not enough to bore the children!
Our kids are 13 and 16 and we all had no trouble learning to maneuver the Segway.It's super easy and smooth! There's about a 20 minute training session prior to the actual start of the tour. Highly recommended! Mike was awesome!
We even stopped for a Chicago Style Hot Dog during the tour! YUM!! |

| I bought the tickets for my 15 year son old and my very hard to please mother-in-law. They had a blast. They can't stop talking about it. It poured the day they went and they still said it was fantastic. My son has given me a blow by blow of everything they did. I think that is the most he has said in 6 months. Thanks for the big success! |

| Really, it was an amazingly fun experience. Jeff, our tour guide, was fantastic--he patiently got us all comfortable with riding the segway, tailored the tour to what the group wanted to do, etc. I will be bringing other friends/relatives down to experience riding the segway. |

| I live in the city and have seen it all, but my husband and I wanted to blow off a day from work trying something unique that involved enjoying the beautiful fall weather. Learning to ride the Segway is very easy and like nothing else I've ever done. The all-electric machine becomes one with your body, and the ability to speed around at about the rate of a full out run is exhilirating--all while being sidewalk legal. We also easily rode on grass. We had an incredible time! The best thing is no matter how crowded the sidewalks are, pedestrians move out of your way when they see you coming, allowing you the freedom to zoom around. Loved it! We will book their architectual tour next just to ride again. The Segway Experience was very professional and their new P2 Segways were awesome. They go the extra mile to train you and make sure you are comfortable. Their location is convenient also. |

| The MySegway Tour was a fun way to spend the day with an adult child and husband. Tour guides were great and shared interesting archictectural facts of many Chicago landmarks. I thought the Segway was going to be a little intimidating, but it was very easy to learn to ride. How I wish we could just have one to go up and down the lake front at our own leisure! |

| Having lived in Chicagoland for 30 years and appreciative of the city's beauty, the Segway tour enables an up-front look at many attractions in a very brief time. We had great weather and enjoyed the tour guide (Jeff) as well as the ease of use, reliability and the speed of the machines (after learning of the "high-speed" key!). We'll do it again with other friends! |

| Staff was very friendly and informative. If you have any fears, get rid of them. No need to fear.... They will take you through evrything you will need to know. You will watch a video on the dos and don'ts. Once you are out they will spend more time with you to ensure you know exactly what you are doing. Our guide Andrew was GREAT! He is friendly, patient and a lot of fun. Try it out, you will have a blast. OH yea, IT'S SAFE! |

| Though the day was overcast the experience was well worth it! Our guide was well read on Chicago history and landmark's. He also made us feel comfortable with the Segway before venturing out along the many beautiful pathways along Grant Park. This was especially helpful, as we only had to walk a short 1/2 block and then was able to spend the next 1 1/2 hours in a park setting away from traffic and pedestrians. The tour was about 1 hr. 40 mins. rather than 2hrs. but was still enjoyable. I strongly recommend this tour to those wanting a unique experience unlike anything they have done before! |
