| i expected to be able to take off on the segway from the get go, but the balance, stopping, turning took me about 30-45 minutes to feel comfortable. for a two hour tour that is a substantial amount of time, but nonetheless, the tour was fun and challenging. i would recommend of most anyone that is curious. we enjoyed a fairly uncrowded time of day at the parks, so that was a definite plus. i would not recommend trying to navigate through a crowd in grant park, for example.
our tour guide was great at patiently explaining the techniques and focusing on safety. he did an excellent job! |

| This is a great way to see Chicago! I took seven cousins there on a Friday before a Saturday wedding and we all had a blast! The hosts were great. They were very friendly, laid back, and pretty much let our group do what we wanted. There were plenty of opportunities to go "off the beaten path" a litle and enjoy the segways. My only suggestion is to have the hosts talk in more detail about city sights and trivia. When compared to what you learn on the riverboat tour, you get less information on the Segway tour. If they firmed up their knowledge just a little, it would be perfect. |

| Very enjoyable, the group leader was very informative. One member of the group declined to go on tour. He was worried about issues of balance and falling off the segway. |

| Great service--both via Zerve and in the office the day of the visit. Our guide trained us well and was most patient with two "mature" folks. We took the tour at 10 AM on Thursday, 6/12 in downtown Chicago. We have already recommended it to several friends and plan to take visitors on the tour again sometime soon.
Thanks, C R M |

| I had a great time on my tour. The tour guide was very helpful and patient with my mom and helped her feel more comfortable on the Segway. I would recommend this to locals and tourists! |

| My husband and I have been together for over 50 years and we enjoy doing things for the "first" time together. We find things we like and then do some again and this would be high on the list to do again.
We had a beautiful day to be in Chicago and our guide was very knowledgable.
We enjoyed his support and patience in instructing us and his kindness when we were a little slow. Our guide let us stay in our comfort zone. |

| At first, I was hesitant about doing a Segway tour because it was something new. Once we got started, I loved it. If I can learn to use it as quickly as we did then anyone can do it. It was a lot easier than I had anticipated and it was a very enjoyable way to see the sights. I would highly recommend it and would do it again. |

| It's not as hard as you might think. the instructor was very good and ensured we not only got the hang of the Segway but also that we were safe.
I would highly recommend it as you not only get informative commentary on the sites around Grant Park etc but it's great fun as well. |

| This was a perfect way to start a Saturday night date and we both thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Our guide and "host" was delightful and although we're native Chicagoans we saw views never before experienced.
The Segway was a blast. After about 4 minutes we felt it was part of us and we were part of it.
Bottom line, we'd do it again...even with the occassional rain...and we'd highly recommend it to anyone. Matter of act we already have! |

| Great fun and a wonderful way to see the waterfront.
The scooters were very easy to learn, even my less athletic daughter picked it up in minutes.
Our facility was equipped with only slightly older models which turn Lt/Rt via a handlebar 'throttle' type control. - worked fine but newer scooters turn by leaning Lt/Rt and tipping the handlebar post. Looks more ergonomic but apparently *some* folks prefer the older style. I wish I had the choice.
Our group had only our family of four - ideal - but groups can range up to 10 or so it appears - might be less fun in such a crowd. (we reserved an early time, perhaps that is a good strategy?)
Great Staff, Omar and Andrew were very helpful. |
