The segways were also fun . Ivy was very knowledgeable had an awesome time. Easy to find great views

The coolest part was getting to do the segway- not so much the landmarks.

Michelle_D, Sep 2023

Our tour guide was nice and patient- we liked him. The segway was cool, but if you are wanting history this wasn't the tour. Saw some landmarks, but not much and wouldn't recommend for that. The fountain was closed for an event and he didn't really have a backup option. Took us to a statue of a Greek goddess and that was all he knew- no even which Greek goddess. It was cool to ride on the waterfront and go to aquarium. I wouldn't do again. I would tell a friend to search all the segway tour companies to see what fits what they are looking for. I did appreciate they ran the tour when it was just us two.

Segway your way thru Chicago

LAURA_K, Jul 2023

We were lucky enough to have a small group- so it was like a personal tour. Saw the aquarium, planetarium, waterfront, parks…The guide was very patient with showing me how to use the Segway as well.

Great experience in a beautiful city!!

The views along the way were amazing! A comfortable and safe ride even on a busy Chicago afternoon day with about 3 music festivals going on. Highly recommend this for couples.

Segway Tour Chicago

The Segway tour was a fun way to get around and see things. Our guide just led the way, there really wasn’t any of the typical tour guide stories of history. Our guide tried tell a few stories, but followed his story with I think that’s how it happened 😂 Overall the Segway’s were fun!

Chicago Segway tour

Invent was an excellent teacher and tour guide. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour!!

Drug smoking guides! Stay AWAY like a plague!

Ronak_A, Sep 2022

The trip was okay because of me experiencing Segway for the first time BUT everything else is HORRID. 1. The guide Ivory came 35 minutes late. After that she showed an attitude as she was doing us a favor. 2. She started doing weed while doing the tour. If you smoke weed, more power to you, but I do NOT do it. I don’t like the smell of it. Like I said, everyone has the right to do what they want but I shouldn’t be forced to endure the smoke when I, as a student Segway driver following you closely. I am hoping this company has other great guides and I happen to come across a person who made the experience a pain rather fun first time experience.

Breezing along the lake!

William_K, Sep 2022

A fun ride covering a huge swath of the the lakeside attractions. A good guide dedicated to safety first. Vincent knew so much about Chicago. You could feel the pride he took in his beautiful city.

Fabulous!

Morgan_C, Aug 2022

Our tour guide, Vincent, was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and a breath of fresh air. My 20 year old son and I had a fabulous time. I highly recommend this tour.
