This was so cool! My husband and I visited the city for the Bon Jovi concert (also WAY awesome!) and had an extra day to cruise around the city looking for stuff to do. We planned to spend the day visiting museums and on our way there, saw the big flags for Absolutely Chicago Segway Tours. We whipped the car around and signed up.
Our tour guide, Tyler, was thorough in his training of everyone on the tour and within a few minutes, we were rolling! I was a little freaked out at first but eventually it became very easy to control and maneuver.
It's very clear that Tyler loves his city, and that his knowledge base is deep and wide. We would have ridden for hours learning more about Chicago history. This is a great way to cover loads of area and learn fun "insider info" about a city, whether local or visitor.
Don't let Tyler's diminutive stature fool you: he's quick witted and slick on that Segway. He has cat-like reflexes and a knack for remembering names. He's an asset to the team and to the city of Chicago. They should consider themselves blessed to have him.
We are now ready to conquer each new city we visit on Segways and I think my husband is heading to the bank today to open a new "Segway Savings Account".
If you're in Chicago, don't miss this ridiculously cool opportunity!
