Location and Directions
Please refer to the local area map below for a general idea of where Steve's Segway Tours is located. Specifics of which El train to take, or which driving route to take into the area, you will need to research yourselves (or, you are welcome to call us for help). Once in the local area, there are actually only two sets of directions - those for people who are driving to us AND parking in the East Monroe Garage, and directions for everyone else.
Directions for East Monroe Garage Parkers
The entrance to the East Monroe Garage is located on the right side of Columbus Ave., just north of Monroe St.. It is only about 40 yards north of Monroe, so make sure you are in the far right lane. Once underground, you will still be facing north. Turn right (east), take your ticket, and go through the gate. Make the next right (headed south), and go as far as you can. You are now in section 1S, as in Steve. I had the garage renumber everything so ...... okay, so I just got lucky that way! Anyway, back to the directions. At the south end of the garage (section 1S), turn right again (west), and go as far as you can. You are now in the southwest corner of the garage - the Monroe and Columbus corner of the garage. This is the corner you will walk out of after you park your car. Now circle around and find a parking space, but walk back to this pedestrian exit. When you exit (on foot) from where cars are, you will find yourself on a downward sloping pedestrian ramp. Ahead, you will see a big Steve's Segway Tours sign on the windows in the open lobby area. Walk towards the sign. Opposite the sign will be three black doors - bathroom, bathroom, and then a mysterious third door. That is it! We are in there (the mysterious third door, not one of the bathrooms, lol). Please note - if it is locked, you are still in the right place so do not panic and go elsewhere looking for us.
Directions for Everyone Else
If you are not driving and parking in the East Monroe Garage, then you will need directions to Steve's Segway Tours from outside the garage (not how to get to the garage and then directions to us from inside it, as in the above section). If you are walking to us, taking public transportation and then walking to us, taking a taxi, or having someone drop you off, the directions are the same. You will need to get yourself to the northeast corner of the intersection of Columbus Ave. and Monroe St. (remember, the lake is always east, and the tall buildings are north). On the northeast corner of Columbus and Monroe, there will be a stairwell built directly into the sidewalk. It is marked "East Monroe Garage Entrance". Go down the stairs and into the open lobby area. You will see a big and beautiful Steve's Segway Tours sign on the windows. You might think to yourself, "Wow, that really is a beautiful sign! Did Steve design that sign as well as write this entire website, as well as design this company from scratch? Is there no end to that man's ego....er, I mean talents!?". When you are finally able to tear your eyes away from our sign (hard to do, I realize, lol), opposite it will be three black doors. Two of them are bathrooms, and the mysterious third door - that's us! Please note - if it is locked, you are still in the right place so do not panic and go elsewhere looking for us.
