Great experience with the whole family - 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.

Highly recommended! - Wonderful Segway ride! Our guide Jeremy was knowledgable, funny and always looking up for our safety. The tour is mostly flat, so is great for beginners.

Wonderful- even though very hot! - The weather was pretty non- conducive for any outdoor event as it was 101 degrees and most places we rode had little shade. However, the trip was a lot of fun re- introducing ourselves to what Chicago has to offer. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable and worked to show us sites that were of interest to us- but there were only 2 of us - probably due to the weather- so she allowed herself to accommodate what we liked. I regretted not bringing sunscreen but we ended up being fine. They provided water bottles for the journey.

Segway fun for anyone - 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!

“I’m so glad you guys are active” our niece said - Ian said we were the first group to include him in our photos. He was a fun guide on a very fun tour. We enjoyed his attitude and commentary as much as the amazing scenery. Our first-time Segway rides were delightful as well. A great way to see and learn about a great city lakeshore.

Chicago Segways on Vacation - This Segway tour was an awesome experience! We truly enjoyed the views, the clear cut instructions from the guides about how to operate the Segway, and the numerous history lessons along the way. We had Carrie as our guide and she was extremely friendly, upbeat, and informative and also prioritized letting us take a decent amount of pictures. Our only critique would be that it would have been nice to have a few “down” times where we were able to just ride the Segway without listening to facts/commentary because sometimes it was a little too much. That being said, it was a great experience overall!!
