Great Experience!!!

Laminda_N, Apr 2024

Marshall was an awesome guide! He had us trained and on the go quickly, and he made the experience so much fun! We learned lots of interesting history about the city and sailing along Lake Michigan on the segways was a blast. I would give this tour a 5-star review!!!! If you’re hesitant, or worried that you won’t be able to do it, or fear the tour might be too long — just do it! It’s easy and very memorable!

Chicago fun

tuan_t, Apr 2024

Wonderful time with our friends and family on April school vacation week. Great guides who were willing to take tons of pics and video for us with our cameras. They even went spent more time than the tour agreement with no extra charge. Highly recommend this company.

Great experience with the whole family

Jacqueline_D, Sep 2023

This is a great tour filled with beautiful sites and fun Chicago facts. Our family of 5 had a great time with Jeremy, our tour guide. Our kids are 12-17 years old and this was the perfect way to see lots of Chicago sites that they would not have wanted to walk that distance to see. We learned so much from Jeremy and had a great time. It was well worth the money and time. Jeremy was an excellent tour guide.

Fantastic

Wanda_N, Aug 2023

Matt was awesome and very patient teacher. We will go again and ask for Matt! Great tour if the city.

Segway fun for anyone

Jessica_M, Jun 2023

Matt was FANTASTIC! He led an info-packed tour that was fun & silly. He even got our grumpy teenagers to smile & loosen up. He gave great instruction for how to ride a Segway so that anyone who can stand would be able to use one. I highly recommend this tour & we hope to see Matt on a future tour!

So fun..

Kristie_V, Apr 2023

Jeremy did a great job. It was just my 17 year old daughter and myself and he made it very fun and enjoyable.

Fabulous

Donna_S, Mar 2023

Great experience. Cari is phenomenal. This is a great way to see the sights in a limited amount of time.

Fun tour!

Michelle_A, Jun 2022

Tammy was a wonderful guide! I was nervous because I had never done anything like this before but she was patient and helpful and we all caught on quickly! We had a blast and have already signed up to do another one on our next vacation! Thank you Tammy!!

Cool tour with the family

Edgardo_G, May 2022

Really cool tour to visit and learn about Chicago history and places. Jeremy did a really good explanation at the different stops to explain and answer question about the places.

The best one!!

Shendi_R, Apr 2022

Muhammad is wonderful!! He takes time to get to know us and makes the whole trip very pleasant. He also makes sure that the boat ride is the best one too. Even my usually anxious daughter starts talking! ☺️. Even better, we’re the only ones in the whole trip.

Super Fun!

Martha_S, Oct 2021

Fred was the best! He kept us entertained and had great facts about the city. I would definitely take this tour on your first day in town! Helps you decide what to explore later! Thx Fred!

Funniest way to see Chicago

Claudia_B, Sep 2021

It was the funniest way to see Chicago. The Segway girl, named Tammy, is the best. Ride a Segway is very easy, even for child’s.

Great experience

Derek_B, Aug 2021

Cary was an awesome tour guide. Lots of knowledge and fun, we received excellent Segway training and no one had any problems from a 12 year old girl to a 65 year old man. Beautiful sights and lots of great views.

Favorite tour!

Lynn_W, Jul 2021

Our tour guide, Annie, was awesome. We went with our two teenagers and they enjoyed it too. We covered so much area in a short time and got to see a lot. I would do this again!

Perfect start to our vacation
