| Segways offer an amazing sensation of locomotion--nothing like it! I was nervous at first but got the hang of it and really enjoyed it. The guide was kind and supportive through my initial fear--he was terrific. My teenage nephew thinks that I am the coolest aunt, for this experience. One caution: Be aware that Segways aren't permitted on Park Service territory, so you won't be seeing the monuments up close. However, the tour does cover a lot of ground, including Capitol Hill, and it is well worth it! |

| I've been to DC many times and was looking for a unique experience to see the sights and share something special with my Dad. He was a little timid at first, but our tour guides were really informative and took as much time as needed to show you how to properly use the Segway until both you and they were comfortable with your skills. I definitely recommend the evening tour as the temperature was nicer, you had less pedestrians to share the sidewalks with allowing you to go up to the max speed and play around on the segways, and DC is so beautiful at this time of night! My Dad and I see this as the highlight of our trip and can't stop telling family and friends about the wonderful time we had! We even have some great pictures to show everyone as our tour guide Max was so kind as to take our picture anytime we asked. Capital Segway is definitely the way to see the city! |

| This is definitely the best way to see the city. I just moved to DC and my sister came to visit so we did the Segway Tour. We had so much fun. The tour guides were great, they really knew their stuff and were entertaining too! |

| My husband and I are in our late 60's and I was afraid I might not have the balance needed, What a mistake. I wish there was a reason for me to buy one of these as I loved it. The segway balances itself and there was absolutely no problem. All we had problems with was how fast the time went. We were on the last tour of the night and I still wanted to go. What a great way to see some of the sights of Washington D.C,, have a load of fun and not have the legs/feet suffer. I would like to see more tours offered of Alexandria, Georgetown etc. Maybe they are and I just didn't find them. I thought the price was reasonble for the fun and once again the saving of the feet/legs from walking. We had already done 2 days of the on/off double deckers and did skip the sights we were going to see on the segway tour.
Thank you for not having a maximum age limit as I found in Mexico.

| We had the most enjoyable time on our segway tour. The instuctor/guides are vey helpful and do not let you leave the store unless you feel comfortable. The practice at the park was invaluable. We felt secure and we were off to see the sites. What fun to scoot around and see people sweating and walking as we breezed by (not very nice of me but I'm honest). The guides pointed out many sites but don't expect an in depth informational session. You get a flavor for what you might want to return and see on foot or you find out what building is where. That was enough for us.
We were celebrating our 30th anniversary and it was a wonderful fun adventureous time. I cannot say enough good things about it. |

| I had a limited amount of time to see as much of DC as I could so I chose a Segway tour. I had a wonderful time and learned a lot about our capitol. The orientation to the vehicle was quick and complete. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and maintained a watchful eye for our safety at all times. The 2-hour tour included the major sites; I would have liked to extend the tour to three hours to include some sites along the river. |

| We took a Segway tour of Washington, DC. It was the highlight of our vacation for several reasons. First, we enjoyed a new technology, enjoyed the adventure in acquiring the skill to ride it (not really hard at all), and seeing the sights of Washington while enjoying a breeze on that hot summer day! When we stopped at sights, I often saw tourists taking OUR picture! We laughed to think how far around the world our faces may turn up in some one's vacation memories. |

| Excellent way to see the memorials/monuments and other important buildings in DC without walking and walking. We covered a lot of ground on a very hot day and barely broke a sweat! The Segways are so much fun and very easy to ride and control. The tour guide was also excellent and we enjoyed the trivia and knowledge he imparted to us. I can't wait to have more visitors so I have an excuse to rent the Segways again! |

| We had two guides that did a great job. Besides making everyone feel comfortable, they were very familiar with the city, friendly, and enthusiastic. There were three in my group, and we all loved it and would recommend it to anyone. It's a big city, and a lot of ground can be covered on a Segway. |
