Old Machines

| Segway Experience of Chicago is the second of two segway tours I have taken (the other was City Segway Tours) and the other was far better - mainly because the machines were the newer models that are a million times easier and more pleasant to ride. Segway Experience of Chicago had an older model that turned from a hand lever instead of with your weight. It made for jerky awkward turning that felt more dangerous than the other place's. Both tours had almost no information about Chicago. Segway Experience's guide made some effort to pretend that this was a city tour, whereas the other guide gave up on the charade pretty quickly. But the trade-off for maybe two extra tidbits of information was that the Segway Experience guide was also much more uptight about letting us actually ride more than 10 yards away from him. Until they get some new machines, go for the other place. | ||||||

| Our Segway tour included Olive Park, the lakefront north, then over to Lincoln Park and back to Navy Pier through the Gold Coast. It was nice to take a tour that was NOT the usual Millenium, Grant Park & Museum Campus. We had a great time with our guide Alex. He made us all feel relaxed & comfortable, like we were a group of his friends he was showing around. For those who are comparing 2 to 3 hour tours. If you've never been on a Segway before - 2 hours is PLENTY of time. It's not hard, but if you're not used to one, it takes some concentration. We had such a great time and plan to do it again with other friends. | ||||||

| I only had 1 full day to spend in Chicago and I wanted to get the most out of it. (Actually, I only had the morning since I had an afternoon appointment.) There were a lot of tours available from the double decker buses to the boat tours, I decided to go with the segway tour since I always wanted to try it out! It was a very good experience and learning to ride was not that difficult. You just need to follow the tips given by the guide and you'll be ok, just remember not to be over excited with maneuvering because it takes some time getting used to it. (They give you practice time anyway.) The segway is a magnificent machine, very innovative! Our guide gave a very good tour of the Chicago skyline, history and great tidbits on various things. It was a good ratio also as we were 8 to 1 guide, made it more personalized. I really enjoyed my tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone I know. It made me want to get a Segway, but maybe sometime in the future. : ) | ||||||

Gotta do it!

| Skyline of Chicago can be seen on your own at Museum of Natural History and Planetarium. Added information from official CAF tour guide interesting. I expected more architectural information, but perhaps my expectations are high. I haven't been on any of the other Chicago CAF tours. Segways are easy to operate and ride. Fortunately (for safety reasons) or unfortunately (skills develop quickly enough you feel you could go faster) the Segways top out at 6mph. Felt safe with helmets and colored safety vests (other organizations on Segways did not seem to have these safety precautions). Portioning out the tour as a whole, riding the Segway was 65% and the CAF tour was about 35%. Nevertheless we had a great time! Gotta do it! | ||||||

| we had a great guide for architecture but he went too fast - not the lecture - on the Segway. I was having trouble with my machine and had to drop back. My husband stayed with me - we called out to the group but no one heard us. We did connect back up at Buckingham fountain. My machine was giving me a lot of trouble - it overbalanced a lot - to the point I fell off three or four times. By the last time the guide tried to get the balance mode back but it was out of commission. He thought it was the battery, but I think it was the machine - I had had a lot of trouble with it. It was my first time on a Segway so I didn't know I was having trouble - I just thought it was me. You brought out a different Segway and reacted very quickly and I appreciate that. I only had the new machine for the last 20 minutes or so. What a difference!!! I would reccommend a Segway tour again, but probably not your company - the machines are pretty beaten up compared to other groups that I saw. I put neutral because your staff was great and we got a new machine rather quickly. Thank you for letting me express my opinion. | ||||||

| We had a great time on our Segway tour with Stan as our leader. His wealth of information was presented with humor and, although we're locals, we saw things that we'd never seen before! It's a great time for out of town visitors or Chicago area residents like us. | ||||||

| My young teen daughter and I had a blast on our Chicago Park Glide Tour. Not only is Chicago an amazingly beautiul city from the lake front, but seeing it by Segway adds to the thrill. We had a knowledgable guide who was very relaxed in his approach to the tour. The Segway itself is very easy to learn (easier for her) and just heightens the pleasure of the tour experience. | ||||||

Fun for a Son and Dad outing downtown

| My son and I have had "Father/Son Fun Day" each summer downtown for the last 10 years. He is 13 now. This year we tried a Segway tour as part of our day. It was one of the most fun activities we have done in our ten years of outings. Neither of us had ever ridden a Segway before and we were both a little uneasy about riding one, but our guides did a very good job of teaching my son how to safely operate it and make him comfortable and keeping an eye on him during our tour. I wish the tour was longer. It was a lot of fun riding the Segway and we will definitely take another tour. Thanks, jk | ||||||

| We had six in our group that joined the tour. The Segway was easy to learn tp ride. We all had a great time. We saw sights that we would not have had time to see. The guide was very informative. We would say the Segway was one of the high lights of our trip. | ||||||

| WE HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME. WATCHING THE FILM WAS QUITE HELPFUL TO ALL OF US, AND THE GUIDE DID A TERRIFIC JOB IN TRAINING US AND GIVING A WONDERFUL LECTURED TOUR. HE WAS SO PATIENT WITH US AS WE TRAINED FOR THE FIRST FEW MINUTES. OUR FRIEND FELL IN TRAINING BUT THE GUIDE WAS REALLY HELPFUL TOWARD HER. THE TOUR WAS EXCELLENT. WE ALL WISH IT COULD HAVE LASTED MUCH LONGER, AS WE GOT MORE CONFIDENT AND WAS REALLY ENJOYING THE RIDE. WE ALL SAID WE WOULD DO IT AGAIN SOMETIME. THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL MORNING ON THE SEGWAY TOUR.

| The Segway outing was REALLY FUN. Even my wife loved it and she was really scared to try it. After about 10 minutes she was pretty good at it. Give this one a try. | ||||||

| This was my third Segway tour and every bit as enjoyable as the first two. I bring out-of- town family/friends on this tour and they all LOVE it. Each of my tour/safety guides has been fantastic and I am looking forward to another trip soon. I just learned that you have a tour beginning at Navy Pier which , I am sure, is as beautiful and one to try. I have recommended Segway Tours to a number of friends in the suburbs and they have all loved it. Thank you Segway! Seeing Chicago this way and learning some history and trivia of the area is great.
