Great experience

A lot of elements made this a very enjoyable experience. The Segways were easy to learn, despite the mild fears some of us had. Our guide was informative, attentive and interesting. The Chicago lakefront scenery, of course, is spectacular. The tour was just the right lenght for the first time. Every person in the group had fun. In all, we had a blast. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

This was a wonderful activity for a group of locals and out-of-towners. Everyone was a first time Segway rider except me. Orientation and training were excellent as was the ride itself. We loved the physical activity and also relished our route through parks, along the lakefront, and beautiful neighborhoods. Our leader was new on the job, but did an excellent job. Thanks!

Perfect day with a great outdoor activity

I didn't know what to expect with this unusual transportation vehicle, but wanted to try it at least once in my life. I wasn't sure I could get the hang of riding it. But, after 10 minutes of trying it, I was hooked on the thrill of the ride. The guide, Matt, was very informative and attentive to questions and made the whole lesson very easy. I only regret we couldn't have gone further and explored more parks and trails. The afternoon was perfect temperature, in the low seventies, and the ride felt comfortable with our light jackets and helmets. We rode at a speed of about 6 to 10 miles per hour. I'll be back to try it again in the spring when everything is in bloom.

Matt was our tourguide and he was super cool. Taught us how to use the segway and was very informative. Even though it was pouring rain, we had a great time. I highly reccomend this to anyone wanting to see the sites of Chi-town.

Matt showed us a great tour and had some great information on Chicago, its buildings, and history. The segways could use a little of repairs/upgrades.

Great Time

Fun experience, beautiful day in downtown Chicago. Guides were entertaining and informative with lots of trivia about landmarks. We live about 100 miles from Chicago and have told friends and co-workers about how much fun our family had, I know of several people who are going to come and try the Segway Experience! We highly recomend!

Outstanding

We were met when we arrived by Omar who told us to sit and relax for a few minutes (we arrived 30 minutes early as recommended). Then we filled out some forms and he got us started. He was extremely friendly and encouraging. He instructed each one of us individually on how to operate the Segway. Then he let us practice for about 10 minutes in an open grassy area. This was great fun. The group was only 7 people (plus Omar) which was great. He took very good care of us - watched to be sure that we were all together and that nobody got left behind. He gave us an overview of each segment and he added quite a bit of Chicago history as we toured along. This was great - well worth the cost. We all loved it and would highly recommend this company - particularly Omar.

Short tour
Sun, Aug 31, 08   1:30 PM mitslaser Female 30-39 Local Family Without Children
Tour was unorganized, unprepared, and too large. Program did not start on time. It was a half hour before we were out of the facility and outside with the segways. Once outside, we spent another half hour reviewing what the video showed. Our tour guide told us that she would not be talking that much because she had to save her voice. Then what is the point of having a tour guide or a tour. Some of the segways dragged to the left, and had to resteer to keep straight. Also, some of the tires did not have enough air in them. One person on our tour had her battery die, and I did not see her for the rest of the tour. There are other segway tours that I have been on that were much better organized, had smaller groups or with large groups had more guides, went further, with three hours for the same price and had great tour guides. I would not recommend this tour group to any of my friends.

Great introduction to Segway
Sun, Aug 31, 08   11:00 AM ermarkus Male 30-39 Local Individual
I found this tour to be a great introduction to riding a Segway. The tour guide managed to get everyone on this tour up to speed safely and in relatively short order. The tour itself offered stunning views of the city, but people from out of town may find it a bit lacking in detail (historical and architectural). I would still recommend it to anyone who wants to try riding a Segway and experiencing it first-hand.

Great fun!

I had great fun on this tour - it was especially fun being on the Segway and being able to take a tour of one of my favourite cities without having to do all that walking. Omar, our tour guide was great at providing descriptions to monuments and just general information about the city. $75 is a bit steep but it was most enjoyable. I would do it again if it weren't so pricey.

Segway tour - Chicago Parks
Sun, Aug 31, 08   10:00 AM valerieito Female 50-59 Local Family Without Children
Both tour guides for the morning did not show up for work. Another person in the office had to take us out. The group was very large (16) vs usualy 8. 3 people had falls, no one got hurt, but the group leader did not know about 2 of the falls because she was too far ahead.

Great Tour!

My daughter who is from NYC and I who works locally in Chicago did this tour this August. Learning to handle the Segway was a breeze. Each one only needed about 5 minutes and we were off to do the Lakefront tour. We had already visited the tour spots earlier during the week but we were looking forward to the Segway experience while again looking at the same sites. It's a totally different feeling when you're on a Segway. You feel like you're on top of the world. People also can't help but look at you as you proudly move through the various sites. The tour leader was very affable. He gave historical background on the various sites that we visited although I wish that he gave a lttle bit more of the unique tidbits for each of the sites instead of just the plain textbook info. My only gripe is that the tour was pricier for the 2 hour tour as compared to 5$ less for the competitor for 3 hours. We also had the later model Segways with the handgrip navigation instead of the newer models where you tilt the handlebar sideways to turn left or right. In any case, this is still worth the money for a first timer.

My boyfriend and I were in town from Maryland to celebrate his birthday. This was the most fun we had in Chicago. I was a little nervous in the beginning, but after about 5 mins I was really comfortable. Our tour guide Andrew was awesome! We'll definitely do this again should we return to Chicago!

Fun!

We had a great experience! It was a FUN way to cover a lot of territory in a short period of time. We've seen Segways on TV and were so glad to get to experience it for ourselves. The guide took time to train us, helped us feel comfortable before taking off on a city tour. We crossed paths with many who wished they could try the Segway.
