| 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! |

Exciting way to see alot of Chicago!

| 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! |

TONS OF FUN!

| 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. |

Fun on the segway

| My husband and I purchased the segway experience for my brother and his wife for a Christmas present.
What a wonderful time we all had!! Laura was just great and made our experience even more enjoyable.
If I had one thing I would recommend - it would be more practice time upfront, so you feel more sure of your self driving the segway.
Other wise a totally enjoyable experience! |

Great fun, a super way to see Chicago highlights!

| Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable about Segway and about Chicago sights. I was nervous about learning to use the Segway but it turned out to be very easy and a very fun experience. It's great way see a lot without long, long walks or taking the buses, etc.
Worth it! |
