| had a great time, took the evening tour to see all the buildings and monuments lit up, less crowded riding around, got to see everything in 2 hours that would have taken 2 days to walk. |

| It was our first time experiencing the Segway and we determined it to be great fun and certainly beat walking. Other than each side of the White House I can't think of anything tremendously awesome in regards to the tour itself, but doing it on the Segway was cool with many other site see'ers were looking at us and wishing they had done the same. |

Fun way to get an overview of the mall area

| The staff at the Segway store put us seniors (63-74) at ease with their thorough training before practice in the adjacent park. By the time the tour ended we were cruising comfortably at near max speed on the DC streets.
My wife complained that her helmet smelled like dirty hair, and her headset stopped working during the last half hour of the tour. On this warm September day I appreciated the provision of a chilled bottle of water.
Scott, our guide, led our group of six with enthusiasm and humor. The stops were well timed. Scott provided good info about the sites and offered to take our pictures several times during this memorable excursion. Recreational bikers all, we agreed that this was the most fun we'd had in a long time. |

| I thought it would be great to see DC at night; even yet on a Segway. I was curious to the fact of actually operating one of those things...and after a wonderful training class by Evan, it happened! It was great rolling around DC and having people take pictures, and stare at our group. What a WONDERFUL experience!!! I was so glad that I chose Captial Segway for this tour. The headsets worn during the tour while listening to the history of DC and gazing at the sunset really made things great. Thanks Evan for allowing us to take the long way back to headquarters; you really made our trip to DC special! I highly recommend taking the night tour, it's breathtaking! |

| We both thoroughly enjoyed our tour on the segways. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone got their moneys worth. The tour guide was laid back and open to input if we needed to stop or take pictures. He even took group pictures (with our cameras) for us, that way no one was left out. He was a liscensed tour guide, so we got good information on the sites. The radio communication made that easier allowing us to maintain a speed each of us felt comfortable with and not have to be stacked on top of each other. We were grouped with another small family, so the size of the group was manageable. We recieved many looks of envy from other tourists and even some inquiries. It also made me feel better that they are a liscenced dealer for segway, so I knew our equipment was well maintained and safe! I definitely recommend this to anyone going to DC!! |

| I had my girlfriend and her friend in town from Philly and they are not the "site seeing, spend the day walking around in hot sun, and sweating type." This was a great way for me to show them the Capital and Mall area without hearing them complain. Also, riding the segways for a couple hours is worth the money alone. Two hours was plenty of time and no $500 deductible was needed! |

| It turned out even better than I thought it would be. Segways are really perfect for this particular kind of activity and they are very easy and intuitive to ride on. The tour was good and our guide was very knowledgeable. My only complaint was that the tour did not cover the portion of the mall that includes the reflecting pool and Lincoln memorial. I understand that Seqways are currently restricted from those areas and that they are working on changing that. |

| We were encouraged to take the tour by some of our friends and from start to finish it was fun and informative. Our guide, Will, was very professional but at the same time made the entire tour fun. I've already recommended the tour to my co-workers and friends and will take the tour again when back in the DC area.

| The Segways and the tour would have been good individually, but together they outstanding.
Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about DC and took great care of our safety. Even after the tour he was keen to offer suggestions for restaurants and other things to enhance our time in DC.
There's something magical about a Segway. They were surprisingly easy to learn to use and were great fun even around the local park. When you put them together with whizzing alongside the White House, the Mall, and the Capitol you have a great combination. |
