| Lots of fun, been wanting to try those gismos for a while. A wonderful tour, scenic and what a mode of transportation!
Possibly a wave of the future. Chances are if we as a nation continue to grow so pathetically obese, a high percentage of Americans will need some system to assist them with limited mobility. Pesimistic maybe, but admit it, the theory has merit.
We loved the experience and would highly recommend it to others. That said, i do think that it might be too dangerous for some senior citizens to maneuver. |

Great learning to maneuver the Segway.

| The time spent on learning the segway was crucial; and Cameron did a very very good job of making sure everyone was properly acclimated. He also was very watchful and careful during the entire tour.
The tour route was less spectacular. It seemed a long time to see not much. Especially since vehicles are not allowed in Millenium Park. |

It was great!

| The Segway tour was one of the highlights of our Chicago trip. My daughter's friend visited from England and she and my daughter (both nearly 14) truly enjoyed it. The people did a great job of training us and were very safety concious. |

| I have always wanted to ride a Segway after seeing the security people weekly at Millenium Park riding Segways. It was a lot of fun. As someone who has lived in Chicago for more than 20 years, I knew the information on the tour, but Grant Park and the museum campus are beautiful places and offer great vistas of the city that you never get tired of. I waited to take the tour until I had out-of-town family to join me. I highly recommend the tour for the fun of riding a Segway and the chance to offer ou-of-town guests a great tour of the downtown park and lakefront. |

| When first hearing about the segway tour of chicago the first thing that came to my mind was" of course, this is going to cost probably hundreds of dollars a person. Being only 70 per rider for 2 hours including the lessons, it is very wallet friendly. We got to go and see some major things in chicago on one of the most technologically advanced machines in chicago. Just the feel of riding one is out of this world, at first you think that it might be unstable and hard to ride, but its easier to do then a bike! The machine balances itself and by merely putting a bit of wiehgt on you toe or heel it goes that way. I loved riding by and having big groups of people smiling and pointing you out because youre riding this thing, and i cant even count how many times i got pictures taken of me on one. The group stops for some "kodak" moments so you can get a picture with the friends and family. The employess were very generous and took their time making sure you were comfortable riding on a Segway, and would stay with you as youre getting the hang of it. If you want to have one of the most fun and memorable experiences in the windy city, i recommend trying out one of these segway tours of chicago! |

| The anticipation was well worth it for this amazing activity! Tony our tour capitan was fantastic, he made us feel so comfortable on the Segway from the first moment we stepped on them. This was an excellent activity for any age group, and we're looking forward to Segway tours in other cities we may visit, and we owe it all to My Segway Tour! If you're considering doing this, go for it, you'll have a blast! |

| What a great way to see Chicago's lakefront! After about 20 minutes' training, our tour guide led us through Grant Park, the Museum Campus, along the lakefront, and back up Michigan Avenue. There were about a dozen folks in our tour, ages 16 through 50-something, and we all had a good time. There's no pressure to go faster than you're comfortable with. The Segway is unbelievably easy to control, easy to learn, and a lot of fun! |

| We took the tour because we wanted to ride a Segway. The training on how to ride a Segway was good, although when we bought our ticket, it said to arrive 30 minutes in advance for "pre-tour instructions" and there basically were no pre-tour instructions and no need to arrive 30 minutes in advance. The tour did start right on time. And the chance to ride around Museum Campus and the lakefront on a Segway was really great. |

| I highly recommend the Segway tour. Don't go for the history lesson, just for the ride. We had a great group that included a child, a grandmother and an overweight gentleman and all of us went throug the training with ease and had a great time weaving through the streets of Chicago on a crowded Saturday afternoon. It was excellent... a Must Do when in town! |
