Summer in Chicago means music festivals, rooftop bars, and fireworks. Navy Pier's famous evening fireworks show takes place on Wednesdays and Saturday in the summer (from Memorial Day through Labor Day) and we've picked out the perfect spot to enjoy them away from the crowds. This tour kicks off at our office, located just steps away from Grant Park. You'll have a thorough introduction to your Segway to ensure everyone can have a safe and fun experience once we hit the streets.
We'll glide around Buckingham Fountain to see the fantastic water and lights, not visible during the daytime, and along the Lake Michigan Lakefront where you'll enjoy the sights and sounds of the city's nightlife. The skyline is famous any time of day, but it's really something special to see at night. We'll continue our cruise to Monroe Harbor and Soldier Field before arriving to the Museum Campus, home to three of Chicago's top world-class museums. After gliding around the Field Museum of Natural History, the John G. Shedd Aquarium, and the Adler Planetarium where your guide will share top tips on maximizing your time should you plan to visit them later on in your trip, it's fireworks time! Enjoy one of the best vantage points in the city to really appreciate the fireworks show above Lake Michigan. After the fireworks fun, it's a short ride back to our office.
Once your tour has concluded, our helpful staff will be eager to help you plan the remainder of your evening out in Chicago. Whether you're looking for a place to enjoy live music, a fancy cocktail, or just some late-night food - we've got you covered!

Chicago City Law requires groups be no larger than eight guests per guide. If you have a group larger than eight guests, it will need to split between two guides.
If the party is larger than 8 the group will be split between two guides in consideration of city law. We can take larger groups as private tours; however those are subject to different pricing and plans and must be made in advance to make allowances for tour guides and machines.
Your tour will start promptly at the scheduled time, therefore please arrive 15 minutes prior to tou departure time in order to complete the necessary paperwork. Please be aware that we have multiple tours departing throughout the day, therefore if you arrive more than 30 minutes early we may still be working with other guests. This means that even if you arrive early, your tour will still begin at the scheduled time. Each member of your party will be required to complete and sign a liability waiver form. Minors under the age of 18 will need a parent or guardian to complete their paperwork.
We do not take a deposit, though we do ask one member of your party to provide us with a credit card to save on file while you are on tour. Your card will not be charged unless there is damage caused to the Segway and card information will be deleted immediately upon completion of a damage-free tour.
At this time, our tour are only offered in English.
Your safety is always our highest priority and many guests have never ridden a Segway before coming on tour with us. So, we begin each tour with a very thorough orientation to the Segway and its use before going out to enjoy the city!
For safety reasons, minors (anyone under the age of 18) must be accompanied by an adult on the tour.
Unfortunately, due to the risk to both child and mother, pregnant women are not allowed to participate on our Segway tours.

We're located midway between the Roosevelt stop (Red, Orange and Green Lines) and Harrison (Red Line only). Chicago's transit system provides real-time updates to the Google Maps app on major smartphones and more information can also be found at TransitChicago.com for routes, stops and timing.
There is a parking garage in Columbia Plaza (the building we are located in). It is operated by PMI Parking. Note the address of the parking garage (2400 Virginia Ave NW) is slightly different than our address (502 23rd St NW), but they are in the same building. There is also street parking available near our office, but be sure to check the meters as they may restrict the parking time to 2 hours. Or, they may not allow parking during certain hours. Though parking is available, we always encourage our guests to use the METRO to avoid street closures, heavy traffic and difficulty finding parking.
