| It was a cold day, but it was a blast to ride a Sedway. the instructions were very good, and safety was emphasised. It was really easy to learn and become comfortable riding it.
The tour was interesting, saw somethings I had not seen in along time. I would reccomend this to tourists that visit Chicago, as well as people who live here. I will definatly do this again. I am even thinking or buying one. |

| There is no better way to take in Chicago's downtown lakefront and environs than the Segway tour. The tour covers much more ground than you could do walking and the view is much better than by car or bus. Plus, you go many places that cars and buses can't. Add to that the fact that riding the Segway is a blast, and you're bound to have fun.
On the downside, it's pretty expensive. And if you reserve ahead of time (tours are sometimes sold out early) you can't cancel because of weather--they go rain or shine, and I suspect tours can be pretty miserable in the rain. It can also be very chilly, so dress way warm! |

| The entire experience was great. Learning the Segway was fun, riding was fun, and the tour was fun. Ask for Andrew as your instructor/guide - he taught us how to ride safely, gave an interesting city tour, and was an all around great ambassador for Chicago and for Segway. I will be doing this again with more friends and family. |

| We did the park tour on a Sunday morning and had a great time. It was our first time ever riding a Segway and our tour guide (Andrew) was terrific. Learning to ride the Segway was fairly easy, but did take a little getting used to. We covered a lot of ground on the tour, so were able to see a lot in a short amount of time. I would definitely do it again or maybe try the Architectural Tour next time. Bring gloves if it's chilly out! |

| Although I was a little nervous at first, I had a blast on the Segway! The instructor/tour guides were very thorough & made us all feel comfortable. We have told all our friends about it & it will be a great memory for us! |

| I am a Chicago resident and took the tour with my best friend who lives in Philadelphia. The tour had the perfect balance of interesting info about the areas covered in the tour, and moving around on the Segways (which was really the main attraction!). Jeff, our tour guide, was so personable and patient with those in our group who took a little longer to get the hang of the Segway. He had a great sense of humor and good stories to tell. Two hours was just the right length of time for the tour--although since the weather was perfect on the day we went, no one wanted to get off the Segways!
One of the people in our group was in her late 60s and took a little longer to get a feel for how to move the Segway, but she did it and good for her! The minimum age for the tour is 12 and I think some 12-year-olds might not be good candidates unless they are mature (not daredevils), have good balance, and can understand the concept of shifting their weight to control the machine. I highly recommend this tour! |

| This was our second experience with a Segway Tour, the other being in Washington D.C. both have been wonderful. The tour guides were informative and definietly put safety first.
As for getting accustomed to riding the Segway that took about 5 minutes. They are incredibly easy to manuever.
We would recommend the experience for everyone. |
