| WE HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME. WATCHING THE FILM WAS QUITE HELPFUL TO ALL OF US, AND THE GUIDE DID A TERRIFIC JOB IN TRAINING US AND GIVING A WONDERFUL LECTURED TOUR. HE WAS SO PATIENT WITH US AS WE TRAINED FOR THE FIRST FEW MINUTES. OUR FRIEND FELL IN TRAINING BUT THE GUIDE WAS REALLY HELPFUL TOWARD HER. THE TOUR WAS EXCELLENT. WE ALL WISH IT COULD HAVE LASTED MUCH LONGER, AS WE GOT MORE CONFIDENT AND WAS REALLY ENJOYING THE RIDE. WE ALL SAID WE WOULD DO IT AGAIN SOMETIME. THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL MORNING ON THE SEGWAY TOUR.

| This was my third Segway tour and every bit as enjoyable as the first two. I bring out-of- town family/friends on this tour and they all LOVE it. Each of my tour/safety guides has been fantastic and I am looking forward to another trip soon. I just learned that you have a tour beginning at Navy Pier which , I am sure, is as beautiful and one to try. I have recommended Segway Tours to a number of friends in the suburbs and they have all loved it.
Thank you Segway! Seeing Chicago this way and learning some history and trivia of the area is great.

| As a group of sisters, not far from greatgrandmotherhood,we wondered if we were getting in over our heads. The tour was an absolute delight. Riding the segways came with very little practice, and made us feel like kids again. The places we saw throughout Grant Park were very beautiful. Our tour guide was congenial, funny, and informative. We all have highly recommended this trip to friends. Thanks for the experience. |

| My husband and I loved driving around Chicago on the Segways! They were so much fun, and we enjoyed learning about the different museums and buildings in the Chicago skyline. Our tour guide (Mike) was very knowledgeable, personable, professional, affable, articulate, and accommodating. His narration of our tour was animated, enthusiastic, funny, and very interesting.
Mike did a great job of teaching us how to use the Segways and getting us into the comfort zone. Riding a Segway seems almost magical because they are so silent and responsive to the body. It seems impossible that these machines can zoom around as they do, propelled by barely discernible body shifts.
We had a beautiful sunny day in Chicago and enjoyed every minute of it. |

| Paul was our trainer and guide. He handled both responsibilities very well. Clear, concise explanation of how to use the Segway and very interesting and informative tellings of Chicago and it's landmarks. Very personable and made everyone feel at ease in our group. |

| The tour was so much fun. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Chicago and was very helpful in getting everyone set up to ride the Segways. It was a great way to see the city again. My friend who joined me on the tour mentioned that it was good that we had already walked around the city because while one the tour it takes a lot of concentration to make sure you don't fall that you can't always enjoy the scenery. I loved the tour and recommend it to anyone interested in viewing Chicago in a new and interesting way! |

| I had only been on a Segway for a few minutes about four years ago, and my wife had never ridden one. We were in Chicago for the weekend, and decided to take the Grant Park/Museum Park tour. She was frankly terrified at first, and almost bailed. However, thanks to the excellent instruction from our guide, Matt, she quickly overcame her fear. She loved the tour, and so did I. Matt was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, and kept the atmosphere light and friendly. There were only five in our group, including my wife and me. We liked it so much, we plan to do the Navy Pier tour the next time we're back in Chicago. For $75 per person, it's time and money very well spent! |

| We loved the segway tour - it was a new experience, they were fun to ride and we saw some of our favorite parts of Chicago.
A few suggestions though..... the training film was a waste of time and the live training took longer than was needed. So easy to ride and manuever that very little training is actually needed. And we all felt the machines were too slow. We all wanted to go just a little faster. |

| We had a blast. We brought our teenage son, who was not excited about going, but ended up loving it. The tour guide was great (Steve)! I would recommend to anyone who would like to see the city in a different way. |
