Segway Themed Tours

Hop on a Segway and enjoy a new perspective on Chicago. There are four tours – two of which are seasonal – to choose from, each with its own special take on the Windy City. The Gangster Tour and the Haunted Tour are year-round and feature some of Chicago’s most notorious people and locations. Then there’s the fun Halloween Haunted Tour and the Christmas cracker of Holiday Lights Tour.

Gangster Tour - Glide through the sinister side of Chicago. Venture back through the decades to visit the speakeasies, hangouts and crime scenes of some of Chicago's most notorious mobsters. Hear the stories of these gangsters at the favourite haunts of Al Capone, Sam Giancana and Tony Accardo, among others.

Haunted Tour - Glide around the streets of downtown Chicago and the dark paths of the park, and view the site where some of the city's worst disasters took place. Hear of Al Capone's affiliation with a notorious Michigan Avenue hotel. Learn about the creepy things that have happened in the hotel, such as a number of unexplainable deaths and the self-playing piano in the grand ballroom. Continue to Death Alley, the site of the Iroquois Theatre fire. Glide along the Chicago River to view the site of the Eastland Disaster and to the former site of Fort Dearborn to learn about the notorious massacre there during the War of 1812.

Halloween Haunted Tour - Your guide will escort you to the most mysteriously haunted locations in Downtown Chicago while relating the stories of Chicago's haunted hotels, houses, ghosts, murders and gruesome disasters.
