| I was on a short vacation to IL from CA. IL used to be my home. Brought my boyfriend along to see Chicago for the first time. I was looking for a way to show him the city in 2 days. The Segway was a perfect way to do this. We did not have a lot of time to tour the city and show him each tourist attraction but the Segway experience was very satisfying for him. I have been to Chicago many times as a college student and have lived near the city for about 8 years in the past. Now that I am living in Northern CA, I had to show my boyfriend what a great place Chicago is. I had a bit of trouble using the equipment but still enjoyed the tour. It was fun. Will have to come back and do it again. Thanks guys. |

| Even though I've lived in Chicago for most of my life, I still enjoyed this new "view" of the place. Tour guide was patient and informed. Great fun all around |

| My teen son and I enjoyed our tour very much. The segway experience was a wonderful way to spend a few hours on a sunny morning. The 2 hour tour was great, but 3 hours would have been more to our liking.
Learning to ride a segway was much easier than we had expected. After 10 minutes we were fully confident in our ability to navigate through the city.
Our tour was made even more pleasure filled by our tour guide Dave. He is a senior at Columbia College studying to be an actor. He has a very personable way about himself, and supplied us with many interesting factoids of the city during the tour.
The segways we rode were limited to 6 mph. Being able to experience the ride at the higher speeds the segway is capable of, is something we would wish to see in the future.

| The segways were fun, however, as a tour this is quite lacking. Tour guides felt more like summer camp sports counselors than tour guides, not sharing anything about the sites we were seeing, talking more about segways (like they were trying to sell them) rather than about the city. However, segways were very fun to ride, easy to learn on, and a great way to get around. Just make sure to take a real tour ahead of time so you know what you're looking at. |

| We had such a great time on the Segway tour. The guides were wonderful, nice people who provided information about each of the tour stops. The tour was extremely scenic (we had a perfect weather day) and just so incredibly fun! I went with 5 other friends, which made it even better. We all said the same things about it and would highly recommend it. |

| I really enjoyed the segway tour of Chicago's museum campus. The segway was easy to operate and allowed the tour to progress at a reasonable speed in both crowds and in open areas.
It rained for a bit during our tour and we were not slowed down at all.
best thing: you sight-see without fatigue. It requires no more than moving your wrist, shifting your weight and standing in place. How easy is that?

| Other segway tours in town go for 3 hours, for the same price, aside from that, it was perfect. |

| We had a great time riding the Segways for two hours. Yes there is a Chicago tour involved and yes one gets to see a lot of city scenery, but the real focus is to learn how to ride the Segway unit and to enjoy it for a couple of hours. Our tour guide (Dan, I believe) was very pleasant and gave us very good instructions on the use of the units. I would recommend this to anyone interested in doing something fun and different. |
