What travellers are saying
- Mandy MChicago, IL1 contributionnice way to spend a rainy afternoon with my parents who came to visit. great opportunity to see a different side of Chicago.Written 28 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- JulesUnion, MI55 contributionsGreat overview of Chicago! Our tour guide, Danny, was knowledgeable and accommodating. He got us smoothly through the city to each tour highlight. All were iconic city sights and very interesting! The tour listing notes a max of 6 people, but we had a van of 8 people, including our guide - not a huge deal, but be aware.Written 26 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Rahul S2 contributionsIt was a great experience. We got an amazing view of the Chicago Downtown skyline. The weather was perfect to capture some incredible shots of skyscrapers. The Pilot was also very nice and professional. She was jovial and highly interactive which made the tour experience even more fun.Written 24 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Matt SArvada, CO3 contributionsThis was a unique and really fun experience. Tammy was our guide and she did a great job showing us around the lakefront. She was funny too, clearly enjoying her job. Never been on a Segway before either and it didn’t take any time to get oriented to it. I highly recommend this company. We will look for other Segway tours in the future. It’s a great way to see a lot in a couple hours.Written 28 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Sue B1 contributionWe had the best time taking a Segway tour of Chicago’s Water front with Mallory at Bike and Roll. She was so much fun, knowledgeable about Chicago and patient with everyone learning how to ride Segways! Highly recommend this tour!Written 24 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- D Morris4 contributionsSteve was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about every aspect of this city, a people person, and makes you feel at home. Highly recommend adding touring the additional parts of the city!Written 25 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Yvonne V2 contributionsWe really LOVED the Segway tour!!! Mike was awesome, funny and very informative on the history and sites of Chicago. It was a beautiful sunny day and a great way to see parts of the city.
It was our first time on a Segway, something we always wanted to try but we’re a bit apprehensive about how difficult it might be. Once Mike gave us the tutorial It turned out to be very easy to ride and navigate. Would highly recommend this tour!!!
I will be bringing my husband, a native Chicagoan back to try it again. Thanks Mike for a fun experience!Written 19 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Courtney A1 contributionWhat a great time learning about Chicago crime! Jay was very knowledgeable and fun! Fantastic way to see the city!Written 16 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tina L1 contributionSean was THE BEST Tour Guide, an absolute pleasure, very knowledgeable and funny!! Absolutely Tours was so great and easy to work with!Written 20 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Josh3 contributionsWhat a great way to spend an afternoon! We had a few hours before our flight home, and this 2 hour walking tour was a perfect way to learn more about some otherwise overlooked buildings with interesting histories and beautiful interior and exteriors. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes!Written 28 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Happiness5182955 contributionsAn amazing collection. Joe was a terrific guide and his depth of knowledge enhanced the experience! Would highly recommend...but be forewarned...doing justice to this collection may take several visits.Written 25 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kim H1 contributionI loved this tour. I’ve lived in Chicago for 42 years and had no idea that there was so much to see and do in our city. Steve knew it all. He’s an excellent tour guide and a very friendly, entertaining man. I highly recommend this tour and Steve. I’ve already booked his south side of Chicago tour in the fall!

Every building was filled with beautiful treasures and stories. Highly recommend!Written 25 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
