| My husband and I (both boomers) were the oldest on the tour, but we probably had the most fun! It was SO much fun that I was handing out flyers to pedestrians, and have already suggested your Segway tour to a friend heading to D.C. this week. |

| Forget the slow, endless walking tours, the Segway tours are the way to go. I took a group of three for a two hour tour and we all had a blast! The women in the group were a little nervous at first, but within 10 minutes thy were zipping around like they'd been born on a Segway.
The route is excellent, you cover all the main monuments and memorials. The Guide staff was very informative, helpful (w/ taking pictures), and entertaining.
I would insist that all my friends visiting DC do the Segway tour offered through Capital Segway. |

| Although I knew the segways were relatively easy, I was still a bit anxious about learning to ride. I didn't imagine that it would be so easy. As a 50'something woman with a bad back, I had no problems!
We enjoyed the evening tour, but probably wouldn't do it again. Trying to watch where you're going (some places aren't lit all that great), constantly adjusting your vision, at a fairly quick pace, is rather distracting. I was grateful that I had already seen most of the sites. Next time, we'll do the daytime tour, and probably the longer one (3-4 hours), if they're not so rushed. Still, a great time! Highly recommended. |

| Having walked around Washington a few times, it was great to be able to see so many different sites so quickly. It was also a very good excuse to take a Segway ride. The instructors/tour guides were very friendly, professional, and helpful. I would recommend this tour even to someone who has seen the sites of DC a couple times. It's probably not the best way to get an in depth history tour just because of the format, but it's great to see a lot in a short amount of time. |

| Overall it was a very enjoyable day out and I would recommend it to others. it was good fun and an exciting new experience. I am really glad I did it and it is worth the price however I would have a few reservations:
Using a segway for the first time can be a bit nerve-wracking particularly in crossing streets etc, it might not be for everyone.
While the guides were very helpful and friendly - the tour aspect was a bit weaker, it was not always possible to hear the commentary and the commentary could have been more detailed.
if you want a great fun day out trying something new, give the segway tour a whirl, if your priority is learning about dc maybe pick a different tour. |

| What we were after was the experience of riding a Segway and the two hours was just perfect. The historical part of the tour was secondary for us since we have done extensive DC sightseeing over the years. First-timers did get a good historical overview and orientation.
The instruction was very good and we found the machines easy to use.
Great experience. Thanks. |

| Great tour, great staff! I highly recommend this tour of the city. Lots of fun! The only recommendation that I have would be to make the tour longer. We spent almost 2 hours on the Segways, but only an hour or a little more was spent actually touring. |

| I enjoyed the tour very much which was given by a young man who had just graduated from GWU. My only complaint would be that your organization be more cognizant of DC events that might impact the segway tour. Unbeknownst to the guides last Sunday morning, the DC triathalon was taking place. We had difficulty crossing intersections and were unable to see all the sights that were designated on the tour. Fortunately my guest thoroughly enjoyed the experience despite this oversight. Please check with DC Government website to avoid this problem. I would have been perfectly happy with a tour around Dupont, Embassy Row, etc. instead of the National Mall given the situation. Thanks again. |
