| Our group consisted of five members of our family, three brothers and two wives.
We are all well over 50 years old and were hoping that the Segway tour would work for everyone.
I read some reviews, from other groups taking the Segway tour and all were very positive. Needless to say, we were very excited.
Our Segway day was so much better than we had expected. The machines are very stable and easy to control. There is almost no learning curve. Within minutes our group was wheeling out the door and down the street, stopping, turning, crossing major intersections and maneuvering with great ease. After a short while it all become so comfortable that we could sightsee and take photos, all while moving.
We were outfitted with small receivers and earphones so everyone could hear the descriptions that our guide provided. He did a great job.
Our tour took us to most of the major attractions in DC. We could stop and take photos and were not required to stay in a line. Our freedom (and not a lot of rules) made it fun.
I would strongly recommend the Capitol Segway Tours. I doubt if we could have had a better time.
Thanks, again to Capitol Segway for giving us the best experience of our DC vacation.

| I would highly recommend the Capital Segway tour of DC. We had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the city. It was the most fun I've had in a long time and everyone in my group had a good time. We will definitely go back again for another tour! |

| My husband and I and two of our friends recently did the Capital Segway tour and had an absolute blast. It was a perfect mix of historical information and playing on the segways. We learned a lot about DC and at the same time loved trying something new! I only wish it was longer than 2 hours. The segway tour was worth every penny and I would do it again in a heartbeat! |

| While this is a wonderful way to start your visit to DC it is also a fantastic way to "Top it off" at the end. We took the night Segway tour with Chris as our fearless leader for one last breathtaking view of our American history. It was a great way to end a wonderful visit to our nations Capitol. We saw the monuments and sights in all their splendor after dark with the beautiful lighting. Chris gave us an interesting history lesson and we always felt safe on the Segways even in the the DC traffic. We had plenty of time to feel comfortable on the Segways before "taking it to the streets" and will definitely go back on our next visit. |

| Had a great time. The guide, Scott, was fantastic!!! Couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Have recommended this tour to numerous friends and even passed the information on to the campground we stayed at for future campers.
Would liked to have seen more but understand the NPS was the limiting factor in that decision.
Again, great job Scott!!! |

| The best way to see DC in a snapshot. The Segway is as natural as walking and much, much more fun. Zoom! Adam our guide was spot on, knew facts and interesting side info and paid good attention to us all. Don't miss out on this. |

| Night was a great time to go.
Guides were knowledgable and entertaining about DC, but I was having too much fun to listen to everything. |

| My husband who is 85 and I had the best experience on the tour. We never could have walked to see all these places. The tour guide Adam was great and we both had a fun tour of Washington that we will never forget. |

| This tour is primarily focused on riding a Segway through a very historical area in the evening than it is an in-depth tour. But it was so much fun to do, espescially with my boss and co-workers.
There was plenty of instruction and time to get comfortable with riding the Segway in the park across the street. The tour guides are college aged, but were really good at finding that balance between being hip, funny, interesting, and respectful. We had time to play, but we were also instructed on when to be respectful at different locations and why.
We covered a lot of territory - the White House, Washington Monument, down the mall, Smithsonian, Native American museum, the Capitol, and then back. It was very high-level with some interesting factoids. In the two hours, there is plenty of time for "playing" on the Segway, including some racing in an abandoned parking lot against my boss and co-workers. My boss, who wasn't really keen on doing "touristy" things, said this was an excellent idea and couldn't stop talking about it to others afterwards. |
