| My husband and I both felt this was one of the highlights of our recent trip to Chicago. It was a beautiful day and our guide was extremely helpful and thorough on giving us tips and putting us at ease with the machine. In a matter of minutes we felt comfortable with controlling it and had no problems whatsoever. One negative comment on the office staff. We arrived early and they suggested we might want to get water before the trip and pointed outside to a nearby shop, which we took advantage of and paid about $2 a bottle for the water. Just before the tour started, however, the office staff sold bottles of water for $1 a piece to folks who arrived on the late side. Our take on that was we should have gotten there just before the tour to get the deal on the water. Otherwise, everything was first class and we loved the experience.

| This was something very cool and fun. I am from Chicago and have taken the boat tours before. This was much better. A 2 hour tour was just the right amount of time.
Omar was a fun guide. He knew the Segway and was very good at teaching us how to use it and what to watch for. He also taught me a few things about Chicago that I didn't know.

| We had a very nice time at our Segway tour. I'm not much of a group activity person but it was a pleasant and low key way to learn the Segway and see the museum campus area. |

| WARNING: Don't take this tour for educational purposes. We went with a group of friends and it was perfect. The Segways were great!! 2 hours is a perfect amount of time. We are going around soon. |

| Omar was our leader and he had ALOT of patience teaching all of us, 53,52, and 25,24, and 24 yr.olds. I was nervous going down a slope and he rode along side of me and guided me down. He also has a great sense of humor...thank God. It was a beautiful way to see the Chicago lake front and parks. Just great for visitors from Seattle. Thanks alot. |

| Learning how to ride the segways and riding them was alot of fun. However, I do wish that the tour would have been a good mix of fun facts about the museums and places we were seeing rather than more about riding the segways. I think part of the experience is to enjoy the segways and part of the experience is to learn about the museums and parks that you are seeing. I have been on the Chicago architectural boat tours five times and would still go on them again because I feel like I can learn more about the architecture of the city. We did learn a few fun facts but I just felt like I wanted to learn a little more. However, I do have to say that I really liked our tour guide and think he got the vibe from the group that we just wanted to have fun on the segways. All in all I had a great time and my group of friends truly enjoyed the tour and ofcourse riding the segways. I do feel like for $70 a person, I wish I could have learned a little more. |

| Ever since I talked with a security guard at Millenium Park who was riding a segway I wanted to have the experience too. Having seen several groups gliding around the lakefront, I "googled" to learn where and how I could sign up for such a ride and tour.
Family visiting from out of state was the final push to go.
Instruction was good and thorough, the guide was attentive to the group at all times as we moved on to our route, the route itself was just right in length, and as our confidence grew, it was easy to maneauver anywhere.
We got back to the Segway office by threading through quite a lot of pedestrian traffic (it was Labor Day weekend), often being the subject of camera shots and questions from bystanders.
I recommend the tour to any adventuresome person and might very well do it again. |
