| We had rented segways in Santa Monica , Ca , so we knew we would love the experience in Washington DC. Dont you just get tired of walking some times?
We do, and the segway just got us to many places in a much faster time~ Our guide,
Karen was knowedgable, fun and the whole two hours just went by so fast !
When we come back, we will do this again.
Thanks for the great experience~ |

| I was very excited about booking a segway tour of Washinton DC. My husband was less than enthused to drive 20 miles to attend this effort. By the end of our two hour tour, however, my husband was totally sold on Segways and the tour!
The tour was conducted by two tour guides, and 15 participants. We had a few people in our group
who weren't very good on the Segways, but the guides were great about putting them at ease. The guides were also very patient with the asians in the group who continually took pictures on the tour. All in all it was an extremely pleasant experience and it would be something we would do again in a heart beat. Thanks Capital Segway! |

| this tour was so much fun! before you get on the segways, you get a thorough and adequate lesson on how to ride one, so absolutely no experience is necessary. they're SO easy to ride and SO MUCH FUN! it's a million times better than walking to see the sights in DC. :) the price was well worth it. our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun to be with. we highly recommend this tour to everyone!! |

| I gave my husband a tour as a birthday gift and it was a huge success. The tour guides were very accomodating as the entire group was local and we didn't necessarily need the whole background of every monument.
We had a blast and will be back! |

One of the Best Things We've Ever Done!!

| We booked this event as a quick, fun way to see the sights with our 20-year old daughter (her birthday trip). Her first trip to D.C., our second. Getting used to the Segways only took us each about 5-10 minutes. We have lived overseas (Japan) and traveled pretty extensively as well. We ALL agreed that this one one of the most fun things we have EVER done!!! We were stopped by other tourists constantly - they asked questions about the cost, ease of use, etc. We were actually photographed often as well. :) We all would highly recommend this tour to anyone - young or old. Probably the only drawback is that it's only for ages 16 and older, although this did not affect us. |

| We had a great time. The segways were very easy to learn and a great way to view a lot of the landmarks in the city. |

| The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. The length of time of the tour (two hours) was just about perfect because, candidly, our feet got tired. (We are two old guys!) Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience.
The two of us were in a large group, 16 I believe, and at times we got all strung out and some of us missed some of the narration at the stops.
Suggestions:
1) Break up the large groups in to two smaller ones leaving five minutes, or so, apart.
2) It would be nice if you could find a way to let everyone get off their Segways and walk around or sit for five minutes near the middle of the tour.
Finally,
3) I am a tour guide for the Voice of America (VOA) at 4th and Independence, SW. I would appreciate it if you would point out the VOA and give our VOA tours a plug. The cost is FREE and the tours are at 12:15 pm and 3:15 pm every business day. (No tours on the weekend or on federal holidays.)
Thanks,
