What You Will Do

This is a tour like no other! Our newest Segway adventure is completely unique and will cover the good, the bad, the ugly and the totally weird stories of Chicago. We will travel back through the ages as you discover the city through the lens of the Chicago Syndicate, hear the whispers of the city’s elite (or politicians), and be entertained by stories that are rarely told. You’ll think “No, really I never would have known!” Glide around Millennium Park, through the new neighborhood of Lakeshore East, and along the Lakefront as we unveil Chicago’s forgotten past in two hours! Your imagination will come alive as you hear stories of the Chicago Mob, the truth behind the 1968 Democratic National Convention, innovations that changed history, and so much more!

On your 2 hour Segway adventure you will cruise along our city streets as you discovering the iconic landmarks, top sites, and hear live narration from our entertaining tour guides. Treat yourself by gliding around Millennium Park, and through Chicago’s newest neighborhood Lakeshore East, visit the mouth of the Chicago River, explore our yacht clubs and harbors, ride on our first airport, look at the stomping grounds of Al Capone and more! Your guide will help you envision Chicago at the turn of the century while falling in love with the modern city you see today. Segways are safe to use, easy to learn, and fun to ride! We provide a thorough training session from our certified guides before we begin your tour. Our Segway instructors will teach your group how to ride a Segway one guest at a time so that each rider is comfortable and confident on their machine. We kindly request that you arrive 15 minutes before your tour is scheduled to depart.

The tour itself was great. Beautiful sights of the city. However, it is difficult to find the office where the tour begins, it's dirty, the bathrooms were disgusting and almost out of toilet paper in all stalls ( and we were early morning arrival), the vending machines where you could buy water, pop, etc. Were empty. Save for a few sugar pops ( I had accidentally left my water in the taxi...that also got lost trying to find its way there). The Segways were old, beat up, broken down, wheels were wobbly and my husband was injured on both legs and pulled groin due to his faulty segway that finally the tour operator switched with hers and admitted it was a problematic tire. We have done this tour twice in years past and were disappointed. They need to do some upgrade ls and cleaning.
Fun!

This is a great, women-owned company, with very fun tour guides. It’s easy to learn to ride a Segway quickly, and they give you instructions/practice before you head out. This insider tour goes on more city streets; the lakefront tour is prettier (note that Buckingham fountain is only on late May to early October).
