Chicago Insider Segway Tour
Overview
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!
Inclusions
- Live narration
- Professional local guide
- Helmet, and a bag on your Segway to store personal belongings

The Segway's were so easy to drive. Had as much fun driving them as it was learning about the city. I've done several other tours before and being able to move about the city so quick meant many more sights we could take in. Thank you to our tour guide, Cedar!
