See The City Tour - A Segway Tour of Washington DC

We signed up for this 2 hour tour slightly hesitantly as weren't convinced we would get anything additional from it having walked for hours the previous day. How wrong we were! These Segways are a marvel to any intrepid tourist who wishes to zoom around one of the world's greatest capital cities on a space-age almost 007-like (James Bond for those non-Ian Fleming fans) machine. They are also absolutely suitable for anyone who would traditionally sit onboard a tour bus. You cannot beat the fun, versatility, accessibility, pace and ease of travelling around some of America's most famous sights. It took no time at all to develop a frightening level of confidence on-board, so don't be put off if you are worried about the thought of having to learn to ride a bicycle again. Segways are a doddle to master! We covered a huge amount of ground in 2 hours, and not just got to see everything we wanted to, but also had the expertise and splendid humour of our guide, Andy, to keep us fully informed about every fascinating ditt or historical story as we raced from the White House to Washington Memorial and onwards. We are amazed that Segways aren't more common-place around the world, having never come across them before. They should be, as they provide a unique and highly absorbing way to experience any traditional sight-seeing trip in the most fun and exhilarating manner possible. Is this the most cost effective way of seeing Washington DC? Probably not the cheapest, but by far the most memorable, worthwhile and fun sight-seeing experience we have done in nearly 25 years of international travel. Go on - go Segway - you know you want to!! Enjoy!!!

Had a great time on the tour. The orientation lesson on the Segway was great and I always felt comfortable and had fun. The tour was great and the 2 guides were very personable and knowledgable. The Segway is a fun contraption! For those of us that would never buy one, it's a great chance to experience one. We covered 6 miles in 2 hours. We would never have done that much walking I will look for other Segway tours in other cities. Capital Segway is a great choice. They are a dealer and use 2 guides with headsets for all. Easy to get to from the orange Metro at McPherson station.

This is the first time my wife and I are in DC, and the first time we rode the Segway. We loved the experience. Washington DC is the perfect place for a Segway tour - large flat open space with sparse traffic. The equipment provided by Capital Segway is in tip-top condition - the Segways, the helmets and the headsets with crystal clear sound. We didn't try any other Segway tour companies, but we are completely satisfied with Capital Segway's tour. Justin and Andy were our tour guides and they were awesome. I don't know if the other tours provide headsets, but it does make a huge difference being able to hear everything the guide was saying even when we are on the move.

The tour guides did a great job teaching us how to ride the Segways and gave us plenty of time to practice. The 6:30pm tour was a great because the car traffic wasn't too bad. The guides told us interesting information and were very helpful for taking photos. Overall a wonderful tour!

the tour guides were informative and funny. highly recommend!

Justin, our guide, was phenomenal. He was entertaining, accommodating, knowledgeable, and fun. This is the second time I've done this through your company. I recommend it to everybody. Thank you.

We booked a 2-hour tour. The Segway takes about 2 minutes to learn, and another 5 minutes to master, and it's wicked fun to ride.The tour guide (young, knowledgeable, and funny) kept up a running commentary; the riders listen through wireless headsets. The tour covered the National Mall, from the Capital to the White House and points in-between. It's a good way to get an overview of the main attractions, in order to plan where you want to spend your time. You get the street-level intimacy of a guided walking tour, but in a lot less time, and YOU GET TO RIDE A SEGWAY!

Riding a segway is every bit as fun and intuitive as people say. And, it is so much better than hiking from memorial to memorial and coming home exhausted. The earpiece for the guided tour keeps things interesting.

I felt the tour was great with lots of good information given by the tour guides. Having taken other segway tours I think a little more training would be helpful for new riders to segway. More attention on going downhill and being able to control their speed.

Great time, great guide
