Description:

Sweep through the city in serious style—atop your own steerable Segway. Offered by the guys who first came up with the Segway tour, this tour guarantees you’re in good hands. Comb through Chicago's greatest hotspots and revel in the historical commentary offered while you roll.

Meet your Windy City expert for a brief safety orientation; then take to the streets for a 2-wheeled adventure worth writing home about. On the Museum Campus, cruise past the Field Museum, which was originally founded in 1893 and currently houses the world's largest T. rex, and marvel at the Adler Planetarium's striking dome, the country's oldest.

Later, admire Grant Park's ample green acreage, marvel at the spectacular Lake Michigan views from Monroe Harbor, and swing by Soldier Field, storied home to the Chicago Bears. As you glide, your local guide covers historical tidbits and little-known facts about the city and its landmarks.

In Millennium Park—an 1850s industrial wasteland transformed into one of the city's most loved public spaces—take in sights such as the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, an enormous metal bandshell, and Cloud Gate—the famous reflective sculpture nicknamed “The Bean”—made up of 168 stainless steel plates.
