Segway Experience of Chicago

Great fun

We had friends from Rhode Island come to visit who had never been to Chicago before. What a wonderful way for them to experience the city (and for us too). The four of us were joined by six other beginners to tour the city. The tour guides we had were extremely patient training us on how to use the Segway. For beginners, not one of us had a problem using the Segway. The only suggestion I would make is to tell people to wear good shoes when they make their reservations, like sneekers, instead of flip flops as I had. They were also very knowledgable on the tour at every stop we made giving us some of the history of Buckingham Fountain, the Field Museum, the Planetarium and the Aquarium, etc. Our tour guides really made the whole experience extremely memorable. The paths they chose were not crowded and if you needed any help they were right there for you. We were sad to have the tour end. After two hours on the Segway you really get the hang of it and want to continue!! I would like to suggest that they have another tour that you could continue on with if you wanted to continue or a tour that was longer. I would also like to suggest that when you are training people in the use of the Segway that you mention that you should use the handicap ramps to get onto the sidewalks. It seems logical to use the ramps but our friends were not aware that there were ramps at each corner since they were not from Chicago. I will certainly be buying tours for Christmas presents this year and will definately take another tour. Can't wait for more company to come to Chicago - now we know what to do with them!! P.S. This is for ALL ages as I am in my 60's and found it easy to learn.

Fun to ride Segway. Beautiful day by lake. Well organized.

This was a terrific tour! Me and my wife had done the Grant Park/Museum area Segway tour last year and enjoyed the experience so much we wanted to try the other Chicago-area tours this year. It took no time at all to get comfortable once again with the Segways and we were on our way shortly after the others we're ready. I've lived in Illinois all my life but never saw much of the area we toured before. Segways are an excellent way to see the area up close and comfortably in little time. Highly recommended!

The guides Sarah and Dameon were great. It was a lot of fun.

Had a wonderful time!! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and tolerant of other more boisterous people in our group while at the same time being completely aware of our safety. You cover a lot of area in the time and this is great when you are a first timer in the area. We have already recommended this tour to everyone we have talked to!!

The tour guides were great! We had a ton of fun. We could have definitely done without the vests though. The segways, instructors/tour guides and tour was well worth the money/time.

We have lived in Chicago all our lives and thought this was a great experience. Our son was in from California and joined us for this event.

We had a very nice time on our tour with the Segways. Would do it again and see different sights.

Last year, my two sons and I thoroughly enjoyed the Chicago "museum campus" Segway tour. On our return trip to Chicago for this year's family vacation, our 12 year old daughter was so excited that she was now old enough to take a tour she could hardly wait. Since we had taken the museum campus tour previously, we chose the Navy Pier/North Mighigan avenue tour this time around. As expected, it was another incredible experience. Our tour guide, Jonathan, was not only an exeptional Segway teacher, he was extremely knowledgeable with respect to Chicago landmarks and history. The scenery going north up the shore of Lake Michigan was gorgeous, and the ride through Lincoln Park was incredible. The Segway tours will remain a permanent item on our "to do" list for future visits to Chicago.

Our tour guide, Ed, was energetic, fun and informative. The experience was well worth the time and money and I would highly recommend this to both tourists and locals. I would not recommend for kids under 14.

We had a wonderful tour with very enthusiastic tour guides. We loved it.

Very cool event. Once I got the hang of it, it was lots of fun! The guides were great as well.

We were hesitant about taking the Chicago Segway tour but we enjoyed it immensely. Our tour guide, Damien, was instructive yet a lot of fun. He made the trip extra special. We enjoyed it so much, we all wanted the tour to last longer than 2 hours. Thank you for a great time!
