Fireworks Segway Tour

We did the fireworks tour and it was fantastic. This really is the most fun way of seeing so much of the city you would otherwise miss. Michael’s energy and history mixed in on the stops was perfect. The nighttime tour also saved us from the brutal sun and we had the benefit of the city lights. Overall- highly recommended!

A very cool experience for the whole family

I went with my 14-year-old daughter and we both enjoyed it very much. The Segway is very easy to use and the ride is very entertaining. The guide was very, very funny and patient with the whole group.

Amazing evening tour!

My 15 yr old son & I tried this for the first time & it was so much fun! Our guide Kevin, was good at instruction of the Segways to make sure we felt comfortable riding them, & explaining all the attractions downtown. We got to see so many things we never even knew existed in Chicago. I highly recommend doing the evening tour with the fireworks over Navy Pier- our view of the skyline was absolutely amazing! We would definitely do this again!

Fun just zipping around

The moon over the Fountain. The fountain, changing color and heights and the moon just overstriing everything.
