| Chicago was the first Segway tour my husband and I had taken, but it certainly woo't be the last. We had a great guide and a fantastic time, and are looking forward to taking more tours in the other cities that offer them. |

| The guide put us at ease during the orientation- that was a big fear at first that we would wipe-out and hurt ourselves.
The area we toured was really nice and he gave some good information on the city of Chicago that we didn't know.
The length of the tour was "just right"- we did the 5pm tour and got to see the city at night. The lights of the city were amazing.
We felt like celebrities, people were taking our picture and staring at us.
Since our tour, I've been telling everyone about it and they should do it if they have the time.
The article on MSN about segway- is dead wrong- it is still one thing that people should try! |

| Thanks so much for everything! My fiancee and I had a wonderful time on the Segway tour! Our guide (I can't remember his name, but he wore a Boston Red Sox hat, and he was a young college student) was so wonderful and patient. He really made the tour even better with his outgoing and fun personality. My fiancee is really into technology, and as soon as we got home, he was on the internet looking to purchase a Segway! This was such a unique experience that we will never forget! I would reccomend this tour to all and I would tell anyone that it was worth more than the $70 per person that we paid for an entire afternoon of fun downtown Chicago!
Thanks for everything & we will definitely be back again!

| If the weather is good, then this is a must do activity. We had great weather and a wonderful view of Chicago. Although I have been there many times this was a super way to get a different angle on the city. |

| Great weather, an enthistiastic guide, and fun toys. As others have noted, it takes 15-30 minutes to get acclimated to the Segways, but once you do, they feel like a natural extension of your body. Definitely a great way to see a lot of Chicago quickly at ground level. |

| It was a great way to see the city and get to experience a Segway. Our guide was very energetic and knew a lot about the city. I wish we would have been able to see more tourist sites as well as have more information about the city provided to us during the tour. After the tour we walked over to Millenium park which I highly recommend to round out the tourist experience in that part of Chicago. I would highly recommend this tour as a fun way to see the city. |

| This was a birthday present for our 14 year old grandson. His parents were with us. We had a great time. It was easy to do and the views were fantastic. Our leader was Dave and he was the best. I would recommend this to any one that was interested. Don't wait. Do it now! |

| The Segways are easy to use but you do need some time to master turns and speed. The first part of the tour was across busy intersections and down narrow sidewalks next to busy arterials, with obstacles to maneuver around. One person almost fell off a high curb and into the street, and another almost fell while rolling down a curb cut into a cross walk and bumped into me. Both were close calls and could have resulted in bumps and bruises at a minimum. I'd suggest keeping a good distance between you and the other Segway and between you and the street. After the first half of the tour, everyone had mastered the handling of the Segways. |
