My two teenage girls loved this tour and riding the Segways. I was super nervous at first to operate the Segway but Sarah, our instructor and tour guide, had me on the equipment and rolling very quickly. Lots of great info and beautiful scenery. We would do it again!!

These guys are great. They do really fun funky helmets, give you great Segway instruction, and are great guides to the city. And by the end of the tour the Segway feels like second nature.

Friends and I took a tour today - first time for all of us on Segways. It was *awesome*. I’ll be honest - I was mostly looking forward to trying out a Segway. But I ended up learning a lot and really enjoying all of the information and interaction! I saw that Absolutely Chicago also does a tour at North Beach in Lincoln Park - so, I definitely plan on doing that one, too. HOT TIP from a newbie: be sure to tip your tour guide as you would your waiter! I was glad I happened to have grabbed cash in the morning. Five stars for 3 reasons: 1. SAFETY Training was very well scaffolded (a gradual release before heading out as a group). It took just under a half hour, and by the time the actual tour started, we all felt pretty confident. Throughout the tour our guide was constantly monitoring the group to make sure all are ok, on board, and comfortable. So, from start to finish I felt very safe and looked after. 2. TOUR GUIDE QUALITY Our Guide (Pat) was very charismatic, funny, clearly experienced, and knowledgeable. He shared facts and stories with wit and an engaging cadence. From other reviews I've read, it seems Absolutely Chicago makes sure their guides are personable and knowledgeable. 3. LOCATION This tour was called “Lakefront/ Museum Campus,” - the route felt conducive to groups of Segways (I was skeptical of this before the tour), and still included stops with architectural, historical, artistic, and city view significance. I'm a Chicago resident, and seeing Grant Park, the unique city skyline, and Lake Michigan I don't think will ever get old...
