| I had a great time and so did my 16 year old son. Great for everyone and our guide was so well-informed compared to other guides I overheard near some of the same sites. | ||||||

Fun but not easy.

| While my wife was getting acquainted with a second, slower Segway, she missed the warning about approaching uneven cracks in the sidewalk at a right angle. She fell, got hurt and gave up the tour. Meanwhile, I had fun but found myself exhausted with the new nervousness I felt about the many uneven surfaces that our tour crossed. So it was fun but tiring for me and humbling for my wife. | ||||||

Not worth it

| At $75 apiece, this activity cost $300 for my family. We had a terrific time, spending time together and talking on a gorgeous afternoon. That didn't have much to do with the Segway tour, though. The tour guide was nice enough, but he knew lots more about the Segway than about Chicago. So the "tour" was really just a series of standing in front of fountains and whatnot and giving cute, but rehearsed bits of trivia. A plus: you cover plenty of ground, and get some nice views at some spots. The Segway itself is a weird machine. Steering it isn't intuitive; most of our group had trouble getting the hang of it. (Left/right is a handlebar ring that felt like a motorcycle throttle.) It's less comfortable than it looks, mainly because you can't shift your feet around the way you normally would just standing around, so your feet go to sleep. Generally, it seems pretty safe. On the other hand, it would be very easy to crash one of these, and the guide (and the liability waivers we had to sign beforehand) made it clear that crashing one would cost us $5,000. Bottom line: it ain't worth the money. Try the Architectural Boat Tour instead, or one of the great tours run out of the Chicago History Museum. Or, if you want some beautiful views, borrow a bike and go tool around on that! | ||||||

| We did a 10 a.m. park park glide tour on a Saturday. What a way to see the parks! Andrew, our tour guide was great and riding the Segway was a blast. Instruction was superb and the group size was manageable. Highly recommend - worth every penny. | ||||||

| 2 "young' adults(late 50's) adjusted to the segways with minimal difficulty regular tour guide/instructor plus CAS docent who provided significant historical perspective. I think this depends on the specific docent based on other reviews. This is the luck of the draw. Easy way to cover significant distance. Would suggest more stops and picture ops as we only dismounted once in 2 plus hours. would do again on other tours. | ||||||

| This was so much fun. It's way easier than we expected. Our guide, Omar, was very patient with everyone. At $75 for one and a half hours (+30 minutes of training), it's kind of expensive, but save up for it, because it is worth it. | ||||||

| Taking the Segway tour was a blast. My 23 year old daughter and I went and although she was a bit apprehensive, it didn't take long until she was right in the front with our guide. I had done it before in another city, but the tour in Chicago was great! | ||||||

A great way to start your day in Chicago

| We stumbled upon the booth for the segway tour at Navy Pier. We were entertaining a cousin from overseas and decided to book a tour. If you are only in the Chicago area for a short period of time, this is a great way to spend a few hours viewing the city. We are hooked and would love to do another tour. Our whole family is now interested in touring the city on a segway and would like to experience the ride. This will be on our list of activities to do with our parents. They would love it! Looking forward to the holiday tour downtown during Christmas.... | ||||||

| My husband and two twenty something sons did the 2-hr Segway Tour of Chicago. Although my husband and I were somewhat leery of trying the Segway and the cost per person seemed high, our sons were very enthusiastic to try, so we did. Well, it was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip, easy to do, and well worth the money to see Chicago on the Segway. I would recommend it to all! | ||||||

Spoiled at Disneyland

| We were trained to ride a Segway at Disneyland. Therefore, we were experianced. I felt the first time rider in our group needed more on board training. The 1st generation equipment felt antiquated. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. | ||||||

| Now that we have done this in our hometown we will do this when visiting other cities. We had out of town guests in from California it was a great introduction to Chicago and then they were able to visualize where else they wanted to go. My kids (16, 18 & 20) want to do the other tour from Navy Pier now. Best part was riding the Segway. We were there 30 minutes ahead of time everyone used the restroom and we started early because the taste was going on and it was very crowded in the streets. Tour guide was fabulous & fun. Recommended for all ages (our group was 16 to 50) everyone had a great time, bring a camera! | ||||||
