Chicago Segway Tour
Our Segway Tour is perfect for both those new to the city and Chicago veterans. For the beginners, this tour will offer you a fantastic orientation and give you an opportunity to see virtually all of the sites you know from movies, postcards and history. For the veterans, we’re positive you’ll learn new facts and stories about Chicago that you’ve never heard. And we’re sure you’ll both agree that Segway-ing is the best way to see the ‘Windy City’!
The shorter tour will cover the same route as our expanded three-hour tours, but will focus more on the experience of riding Segways through our beautiful parks and less on the history and quirky facts about our hometown. Tour breaks will be shortened to accommodate the two-hour time limit, so guests looking for a more leisurely experience should strongly consider our three-hour tour options at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
