Chicago Segway Tour Reviews

CHICAGO SEGWAY TOUR is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 214.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Josh was an awesome guide! We were in town for the Rock n Roll races and it was our first time in Chicago. We wanted a tour that would teach us lots and show us all of the sights. We picked the Segway tour over the bus or boat or bike tours because we love riding Segways! Josh is a teacher so he was the perfect guide, full of facts and able to entertain a crowd! We picked your company over the others because of your coupon and the length of your tour. We sure appreciated the restrooms available before and after the tour. And it was so nice that you only charged $1 for your bottled water eventhough you could have easily charged more. We loved the tour and highly recommend Josh!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Way to see The Best of Chicago This was my husband and my first trip to Chicago and the Segway Tour was not our idea - it was the brain child of our 24 year old son who was meeting us there. We are from Cleveland, Ohio and he lives in Columbus, Ohio. Not wanting to appear "old" off we went on the 3 hour tour. We saw so much more of Chicago than we would have had we done a walking or bus tour and the amazing weather made for an even more enjoyable trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable but also allowed us time to enjoy the sites on our own. Overall, it was the highlight of our trip to Chicago and we will definitely do it again the next time it is offered in another city we visit!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Experience. My wife and I had the pleasure of participating in a tour with your Chicago location. We had previously partaken in a Segway tour with your company in Washington DC so we were aware of the standard your company had to offer. The tour in DC was excellent and thought the standard could never be superior in Chicago, but it was. I have to apologise that i am having difficulty remembering the tour guide’s name and feel very embarrassed as he was excellent. His knowledge and professionalism came shining through. I would like to thank the Chicago location for making our day one of the most enjoyable experiences we had during our visit

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Chicago on a segway Our second Segway tour, first in Chicago. Really enjoyed the tour and the tour guide. Many people think these are difficult to use, but they are not. A minute or two to get comfortable and you are good to go. Interesting way to see the city along the lake. The guide gave many little tidbits about Chicago and its history. Small group made it an enjoyable experience. Lots of foot traffic along the city sidewalks but that's not the tour groups fault and you adjust quickly. I would recommend this to anyone that wants something different. As we visit other cities not only will we look for Segway tours, but will look for this company!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from City 3 hour tour This tour was a disappointment. Right from the beginning. We started out on the sidewalk of Michigan Avenue. There were a ton of people that we had to maneuver through. Instead of looking at any of the scenery we had to do everything we could not to hit the pedestrians. There was not any pointing out of the different buildings. Once we did stop for our guide to talk with us (Casey), her information was very limited. At other stops we heard other guides and they seemed to have their group captivated. I felt it was a lot of money, and not worth it. Buy a guide book and save some money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Above and beyond service - outstanding tour The 3-hour Segway tour through Chicago was the perfect introduction to the city and a great experience for my older brother and I. It was the first time he had been on a segway, and Chris made him feel at ease and comfortable. The tour was great - really informative and fun. Additionally, the guys at City Segway went above and beyond. I left my keys in my Segway pouch and proceeded to call everyone on the tour until they reached me about the lost items. They saved me a giant headache - and have no clue how much I appreciate it! I could not recommend them higher. Thank you guys for making the trip to Chicago so memorable!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great way to see Chicago and have some fun! I have always wanted to do the Segway Tour in Chicago and was there for a girl's weekend. It was rainy and chilly but I convienced my friend to say yes...and we are so glad we did!!! Tammy was our guide...she is amazing! My friend and I were both a little nervous having never been on Segways before. Riding lessons are part of the tour and you don't go out until you are comfortable riding the Segway (which are a lot easier than I imagined!). You cover a lot of ground and see some amazing areas of Chicago!! I have been on numerous Chicago tours and still learned more fun facts about the city! I highly recommend this for all age groups (my friend and I are late 40's).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Ride to remember! City Segway Tours was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Being from Austin, TX and bringing my friend who lives in Chicago with me, it was interesting to find that she learned as much on the tour as I did! Our tour guide was witty, intelligent and fun. He both cracked jokes to keep the history bits interesting yet conveyed a ton of information and even suggested other events, sights and hidden gems around the city that most tourists wouldn't think to do! (Such as scuba diving to look at the crashed planes in the lake!) All in all, I have to give this tour a 6 out of 5!!! It was absolutely phenomenal, with both great guides and the super fun segways.
