Segway with family

MaryAnn_C, Sep 2023

Stunning views and new gardens I had never toured before (we have lived near Chicago >30 years) Great tour guide, Clark. Equipment well maintained, ponchos for rain, GREAT instruction prior to the ride, great safety measures and cautions Overcast/slightly rainy so NO CROWDS!!!

Great adventure. Excellent guide.

Sandie_B, Sep 2023

Tammy was great. She added a lot of history along with a very fun personality. She worked with my husband who adapted to the segway in a minute as well as me, a cyclist that is more accustomed to controlling everything with my hands. We all had fun.

Fabulous experience

Cindy_L, Aug 2023

Loved using the segways for the first time and loved the gorgeous lakefront and our guide. He was very knowledgable and made the experience great.

Cassie was a wonderful tour guide! We loved the trip we did today. Thank you! We were given proper instructions on using the segaway and she was always making sure we were all safe.

Awesome experience

Karen_L, Aug 2023

Very much enjoyed all of the landmarks & learning so many things about Chicago's history. The best part though was learning to navigate on the Segway! All of us truly enjoyed riding Segways & look forward to doing it again. Great way to see the sights up close & not have to walk.

Great way to see the city!

Joan_L, Aug 2023

Tammy, our guide, was hilarious and super knowledgeable! We had a blast and would highly recommend this tour! So much fun!

I highly recommend this tour.

Jonathan_S, Aug 2023

We had a fantastic time on the Segway tour. My wife and I wanted to do something unique with our 13-year-old daughter. This was a total score. We all had a blast. Also, Tammy, our fearless tour guide, was the best. She brought her A-Game regarding Chicago history and made it so enjoyable that my daughter actively listened. The Segways took us about 5 minutes to learn how to use and then we were off and running. I highly recommend this tour.

Ian was our tour guide. He did an AMAZING job demonstrating how to properly operate the Segway, and made sure we were all comfortable operating the Segways before starting the tour. During the tour we made a lot stops at some pretty interesting locations, Grant Park, for example really cool to see the fountain! Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to do something fun and interesting in Chicago!

Freezing but outstanding!

Kathryn_E, May 2023

Although it was very cold the day we did the tour, we loved it! We had Carrie as our leader and Scott in training. They did a great job teaching us how to drive the Segway and help us to be comfortable with it before we went on the tour. Carrie was very knowledgeable about the museums and the area and gave us insight we had not heard on other tours. They were also willing to make an adjustment and take us to the Agora Monument that was on our bucket list. Thanks to all. We had a great tour!

Hope to do this again!

Kathryn_E, Apr 2023

We really enjoyed this tour. It was the first time all 6 of us had ridden segways. They were great to teach us prior to the tour and had great Chicago information along the way.

Fantastic segway experience!

Jennifer_S, Mar 2023

Our guide, Carrie, was wonderful! Our group of three was the only one signed up for that tour, so we ended up with our own private experience. She was a great mix of informative and funny, made us comfortable on the segways right away, and did a great job helping us explore. She even gave us time to stop for classic Chicago hotdogs! Highly recommend!

Our favorite Chicago experience!

Melissa_A, Nov 2022

Ian is the best tour guide! He tells interesting stories and trivia about the sites along the route, and he pauses to take our pictures whenever we ask. My teenagers said this was the best part of their whole trip!

Awesome time!

Kallie_C, Sep 2022

I booked this tour for my boyfriend and I. We had such a great time, the guide was knowledgeable, funny, and great to be around. We would definitely go back a second time!!

Our tour guide was...

Paige_H, Aug 2022

Our tour guide was fabulous! He was fun and supportive when my spouse wasn't sure if she could manage the Segway. He was very knowledgeable about the city of Chicago and was a great story teller, which brought the city to life for us. Thank you so much for taking this tour with us! Paige and Suzie

Highly recommended experience!

John_L, Aug 2022

Very courteous, helpful, and informative staff Fun itinerary Well worth time and money invested Overall very good experience

Lots of fun

Victoria_K, Jul 2022

This tour was one of the highlights of my weekend in Chicago. First time on a Segway and was a bit nervous. Tammy our guide was great at explaining how to safely ride. Within a few minutes I was quite comfortable riding around the city. The tour took us to many places inside and outside the park that I wanted to see on the trip. Tammy was very knowledgeable, funny, and kept the tour interesting. Highly recommend

Great Ride

John_K, Jul 2022

Ian was a great tour guide and the tour was very insightful about Chicago. The site of the city from the planetarium was great.
