| We took our tour on a Saturday evening at 6:30, and I'd recommend that option because there were few pedestrians and light traffic and we could really zip around. The guides were helpful and somewhat irreverant, but the chief enjoyment came from getting the hang of the amazingly responsive Segways and seeing the city from different vantage points and in an entirely new way. Most of our group was local, but it was as fun for us as for our out-of-town family members. Two hours was enough -- our legs were getting a little tired from standing rather stiffly on the Segways, but I'd love to do it again sometime. |

| Riding the segway was such a novel thing that for most of the tour I was just enjoying, playing and experimenting with the segway. My attention drifted in & out of what the tour guides were explaining while I was mesmerized by my segway.
A good excuse to do the tour again is that I missed some of what was being explained by the guides....yeah, that's it... I missed what they were saying so I have to do the segway tour again. |

| My wife and I were traveling through Washington DC, and only had a few hours on Saturday morning to try to see as many sights as we could. We decided to take the Segway tour, and we're glad we did. There is no way we could have seen as much on our own as we did on the Segway tour. Riding the Segway was an experience in itself- coupled with seeing some of the most historic and important buildings in the country! I only had one complaint... my wife and I both felt like the Segway was easy to get the hang of and learn how to ride- in fact, after 20 minutes of practice, it became second nature... but some members of our tour had a difficult time learning how to maneuver the device and becoming comfortable on it. Because of their lack of comfort on the machine, our tour was slowed, and I don't think we got to see (or hear) as much as we could have if everyone would have been on the same level. Maybe Capital Segway could think about running 2 tours- a beginner or novice tour and an expert tour... Nevertheless, we would still highly recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see alot in a short period of time. |

| The tour was decent but that's not what I went for. Zipping around DC on a segway is a blast! I now look for segway tours where ever I go. |

| I had way more fun than I thought I would. One of the best times I've had in a while. I used to laugh at the people on the segway tours, but now I want one of my own. If you've ever wondered what it's like to ride a segway, you have to try it. One time and you'll be hooked. The tour guides were knowledgeable and fun too. I'd recommend this to anyone. |

| Our tour leader was very enthusiastic and funny and we had a great time--altho watch out for cars coming out of alleys and side streets, they don't always see you. I got bumped, but it was no big deal. |

| From the on-line purchase of the tour to the actual tour and operation of the segway, it was great. The staff was friendly and knowledgable and made the expierence an enjoyable one. It is a great way to see many of the city "highlights" and learn interesting facts, as well as get a sense of the layout of the area. This is a must do while in DC. |

| Our two guides were very helpful and their suggestions on how to manage the Segway got us up and going in less than five minutes. |
