Fun and fabulous tour of Chicago
Sat, Jul 19, 08   10:00 AM sbarczewski Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This is something a little geeky, a bit different and a whole lot of fun. The gang at Segway were terrific and professional. A good time had by all.

Wonderful way to see the city!
Fri, Jul 18, 08   1:30 PM brendaffx Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This tour was great! Took a while to get used to balance and motion but once you got the hang of it, it sure beat walking! Crossing streets is a challenge in the beginning as is navigating around pedestrians but it gets easier with experience. Loved rolling through the park, museum campus, and along the lake. I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun way to see a new city .

Anxiety relieved!

Was excited about this tour, but after viewing the video was a bit anxious! The young man who did the training session was patient and reassuring and before I knew it, I felt like a pro. What a great tour.

The way to see the parks of Chicago.
Wed, Jul 16, 08   10:00 AM reytsman Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I have been to Chicago numerous time before and even visited the same parks, but this Segway tour really lays out parks and museums like nothing else. I signed up mostly to try out the famous Segway, but the tour turned out to be an excellent introduction to "things to see and places to visit".

Fantastic way to see the city!
Wed, Jul 16, 08   10:00 AM Cyndie_Klemm Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My husband and I came drove 40 miles into the city on a Wednesday morning to participate in the Segway Experience. We enjoyed the tour and the guide's knowledge of little tidbits of the city we didn't know before. A great experience - I recommend it. The Segway was easy to learn to operate and before you knew it we were zipping around like pros.

This was a great experience and would highly recomend them to anyone. Next time we're in Chicago we'll go back and take another tour.

Fun day with friends
Mon, Jul 14, 08   11:00 AM bcanning Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Riding a Segway was a blast. Our guide was fantastic. He took time to make sure you felt comfortable. You are given some time to practice riding the Segway. I was with two friends and there were four other people in our group. As we made our way north of Navy Pier, our guide (Omar) was helpful and pleasant. He was not bothered if you needed a little extra coaching and his attitude made the day even more pleasant. There were a few people who do not like the Segways on the sidewalks/bike path but most people were fascinated and asked questions. Two hours was a good time span. All in all, a great time.

Fun and informative
Mon, Jul 14, 08   10:00 AM grahamre Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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.
Mon, Jul 14, 08   10:00 AM DonWilliams Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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
Sun, Jul 13, 08   5:00 PM dylanp Male 30-39 Local Family Without Children
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!

Don't miss this!!!

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.

fun/different and entertaining
Sat, Jul 12, 08   10:00 AM mason48 Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Wheee!
Fri, Jul 11, 08   5:00 PM DianeSill Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

Our tour guide did a good job of teaching us how to use the Segways and the route of the tour was great.
