Matt was great. Knowledgeable about the spots in the area. Did a great job training my daughter and keeping tabs on everyone.

Best Part of The Day!

If you've never been on a Segway before its so easy to learn and so much fun once you do. We learnt so much about the City and truly enjoyed the experience. The ride was so much fun!

Thanks for this amazing experience.

DonnaPatricia_A, Jul 2025
Amazing experience. Great guide with lots of information about Chicago, flexibility to react to needs e.g. photo stops and fun included. Thanks for this great experience. Weather was certainly in our favor.

Roll around Chicago!

Jill_T, Jul 2025
We had a great Segway cruise in Chicago, downtown and around the lake! Love the stories about the area and the ease we could roll around. Our guide was great!

5 Stars – Fun, Safe, and Scenic Segway Tour of Chicago!

Braden_B, Jun 2025
We had an amazing time on this Segway tour of Chicago’s lakefront! It was a beautiful day, and cruising on a Segway made it even better. Our guide, Joe, was awesome - super friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. He kept the group engaged and made sure everyone felt comfortable the whole time. We visited iconic spots like Buckingham Fountain, Soldier Field, and Grant Park, all while learning obscure interesting facts about the city. The Segways were easy to maneuver, and we never felt unsafe. Joe gave great instructions and kept an eye on everyone. This was such a fun and informative way to see the city. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique and enjoyable to do in Chicago!

We had a great time doing Segway in Chicago. Our guide Marty was very helpful in giving instructions and training. We were able to see a lot of iconic Chicago

Great Tour and we’re seniors

PAUL_W, Sep 2024
Great tour guide and receptionist we arrived early because we weren’t sure of our balance issues but with our guide and instructor’s instructions we mastered the technique in no time.

First Chicago Tour

The best part of the tour was Marty, the tour guide. He was knowledgeable and made this tour memorable…

Not the best experience

Bart_S, Aug 2024
Booked a Segway tour and they ended up canceling the entire day. We drove in from Indianapolis for this and had to change things up last minute.

Fun fun fun

The segways were also fun . Ivy was very knowledgeable had an awesome time. Easy to find great views

The coolest part was getting to do the segway- not so much the landmarks.

Michelle_D, Sep 2023
Our tour guide was nice and patient- we liked him. The segway was cool, but if you are wanting history this wasn't the tour. Saw some landmarks, but not much and wouldn't recommend for that. The fountain was closed for an event and he didn't really have a backup option. Took us to a statue of a Greek goddess and that was all he knew- no even which Greek goddess. It was cool to ride on the waterfront and go to aquarium. I wouldn't do again. I would tell a friend to search all the segway tour companies to see what fits what they are looking for. I did appreciate they ran the tour when it was just us two.

Our tour guide was...

Had a great time sightseeing and not having to walk, we covered a lot of important historical sites in a safe way.

Segway your way thru Chicago

LAURA_K, Jul 2023
We were lucky enough to have a small group- so it was like a personal tour. Saw the aquarium, planetarium, waterfront, parks…The guide was very patient with showing me how to use the Segway as well.

Great experience in a beautiful city!!

krissydrews, Jun 2023
We loved this tour and the Segways were fun and easy to operate. I will definitely do this again! I plan to bring my friend in July.

The views along the way were amazing! A comfortable and safe ride even on a busy Chicago afternoon day with about 3 music festivals going on. Highly recommend this for couples.

Great trip

Segways are the best way to see the city

Deanna_R, Nov 2022

Segway Tour Chicago

Melanie_G, Oct 2022
The Segway tour was a fun way to get around and see things. Our guide just led the way, there really wasn’t any of the typical tour guide stories of history. Our guide tried tell a few stories, but followed his story with I think that’s how it happened 😂 Overall the Segway’s were fun!

Chicago Segway tour

ptketcham, Sep 2022
Invent was an excellent teacher and tour guide. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour!!

Drug smoking guides! Stay AWAY like a plague!

Ronak_A, Sep 2022
The trip was okay because of me experiencing Segway for the first time BUT everything else is HORRID. 1. The guide Ivory came 35 minutes late. After that she showed an attitude as she was doing us a favor. 2. She started doing weed while doing the tour. If you smoke weed, more power to you, but I do NOT do it. I don’t like the smell of it. Like I said, everyone has the right to do what they want but I shouldn’t be forced to endure the smoke when I, as a student Segway driver following you closely. I am hoping this company has other great guides and I happen to come across a person who made the experience a pain rather fun first time experience.

Breezing along the lake!

William_K, Sep 2022
A fun ride covering a huge swath of the the lakeside attractions. A good guide dedicated to safety first. Vincent knew so much about Chicago. You could feel the pride he took in his beautiful city.

Fabulous!

Morgan_C, Aug 2022
Our tour guide, Vincent, was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and a breath of fresh air. My 20 year old son and I had a fabulous time. I highly recommend this tour.
