Glad we did it.....the low speed is too slow.

| If not with a work group, most of us would probably not have thought to participate on this tour. We are glad we did, however our tour guide could use some "polishing". Know your audience so to speak.... When a corporate group shows up I would not recommend giving t hem a student tour guide who is a few weeks into the job. Also, we do concur that the slowest speed seems to be more dangerous than the next speed up, as it continually pushes you upright.
Suggest, letting folks switch up after 20 minutes or so.... |

| I thought the instruction on using the segway and the route the tour took down to the museum campus and along the lake, etc was wonderful!!! Our tour guide was disappointing....trying to be funny.....didn't have much info re: the sights....spoke to us in the sun vs taking advantage of the shade, talking while riding the segways and talking to the air in front of him as we were all behind him... and just went on and on about his personal opinions and stories. I felt as if I was catering to his needs vs him catering to mine as the customer. Not very professional....and after the wonderful reviews I had read about your tours .... and the cost of the tour.....I just felt this was half of the experience that was sorely lacking and disappointing.
I do appreciate being given the opportunity to give my feedback. |

| After returning to Michigan from Chicago I often felt like I want to ride Segway again - to a store, to get from a place to pleace, or just for fun. I enjoyed our tour guide, Omar - he has my deep gratitude for a nice tour. If was fun and educational. He was understanding and responcible and found the time to pay attention to every single participant of you tuor - both kids and adults. |

| Dave, our instructor, was a great guy. The Segway Tour of the lakefront was cool. Suprisingly, the Segways take more skill than first thought. I enjoyed the challenge. My friends and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

| It was great! I mean really great!! Out tour guide Dave was amazing to say the least. We are local and are thinking of planning another tour with more friends that couldn't make it the first time becasue we had so much fun. We passed other tours and it looked like some of the people on tour were kinda left behind. I was so happy we chose this tour. You won't be sorry, we weren't |

| Our tour guide was great and riding the segways was a blast. We got to see parts of the city that would be difficult to travel to on foot. We would do it again! |

| Took the tour for the 3rd time in mid September, '07 - LOVED IT! Had a gorgeous day, and the tour was a blast! Went to many scenic areas and had lots of photo opps. If you ever get the chance to do it, don't pass it up. Our ages were 65, 55 and 44, and we all did just fine. After the instructions, the instructor and you are out on the sidewalks of Chicago. After about a 1/2 block, the apprehension and "fear" are gone and you're golden!! What a great way to see the city - I highly recommend it! |

| This was really a wonderful tour! I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for making our trip so special. Our tour guide was really great too. I am blanking out on his name, but he's a college student from Detroit originally...just been doing the tours solo for a couple of weeks. He was funny but informative.

| An older gentleman with us became light headed and dizzy. It was a hot day. He said that he really needed to sit down for awhile and he did immediately sit right down on the sidewalk. He looked pale. We all gathered around. My husband offered to sit with him while the rest of us continued on for a few more minutes. Then our entire group went back to that spot. He was feeling much better and was able to finish the tour. But there were a few minutes of uncertainty when it seemed that some 'tourists' would be feeling they did not get their money's worth and yet no one wanted to leave the man whose life might be threatened. Just perhaps there should be a way to call out back-up. My husband had a cell phone and would have called 911 if things got worse. The man said that he had had a heart attack before so he know warning signs. Just a scenario to study. |
