| Riding the Segway was incredibly easy and took less than 5 minutes to master. It was a great, unique way to tour the city. Adam was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide that really catered to us. He even reposed us for pictures to make them better because he knew where the best pictures could be taken. I've already recommended this tour to other people! If you aren't sure what you want to stand in line for and what can just be seen from the outside, take this tour first. It will help you decide what you want to go back to and see in detail. |

| What an entertaining and fun way to get the lay of the land in DC. Highly Recommend. But don't expect heavy details from the guide on tourist sites and interesting facts. Segway guides do not have to be licensed from the District, nor do they have to take any formal training. And it shows. But all in all, I would do it again. |

| The Segways offered here are the newer model ones, as the company is actually an authorized Segway dealer. Honestly, we took the tour so we could ride the Segways, but the tour was really good. One thing that stood out was the use of earphone to communicate with the tour guide, which really made a huge difference. The other Segway tour that I have been on before, did not use these earphones and as such, you had to stay close to the tour guide or you would not hear him/her.
On this tour, we could zip around on our Segways and still maintain contact with the tour guide, which was really awesome. We had a great time, and we highly recommend this tour. |

| it is a very nice experience and it realy worths the price asked. Be aware that riding a segway it is easy but could be dangerous. The rental guys and the guide will provide you with all the necessary advices. Follow their instructions. |

| My fiance and I had pretty high expectations after reading the glowing reviews on zerve. Most of them are so good, part of me worried they were fake reviews posted by employees. Luckily, all the hype is true- we had a great time. Its amazing how much ground you cover, from the white house to the capitol building, and everything in between, although the segways are so fun you may end up not paying much attention to the sights.
Our tour started around 7pm, which was cool because we didnt have to deal with much pedestrian traffic. I had a hard time going up and down curbs at first, but by the end, I was racing around like crazy and did NOT want it to end. We even debated doing the tour again a couple days later, just to get more segway time in.
The only complaint I can think of was that the guide delivered his speeches in sort of a bored, monotone voice. He didnt seem very interested in the sites and his speeches themselves were so-so. Besides that he was very helpful and made us feel safe on the sometimes intimidating segways.
Very Highly recommended. Unforgettable time. |

| A great experience. I would find going with large groups less exciting because that would be too much waiting for others, etc. However, this is a great time, a fun way to cover a ton of ground, and get the inside scoop on the city. The guide was very good. I will be coming back next fall with my family and will definitely use Capital Segway again. I will probably pay a little extra for a private tour ... |

| This was the third segway tour for myself and the first for my young adult daughter. I have never had a bad experience with any of the tours in San Francisco, Gettysburg and now in Washington D. C. Segway is a fun, relaxing way to see many sights not possible on foot or by personal vehicle.
The staff and tour guides are very patient in making sure each person is comfortable, trained in its use and safe. They are very knowledgable in the history of the area. Just a very fun and informative adventure. |

| The tour using Segways was great. We totally enjoyed it! But… I felt that there could have been additional sites or buildings included in the tour such as the Lincoln Memorial. Our only complaint is regarding our tour guide. We were with a young couple from the Philippines and our guide didn’t really explain things in a way they would understand the significance of some of the things we were seeing. For example, when talking about Ford’s Theater, he didn’t make it all clear what the significance of the theater was or even mention who was assassinated there. I think he just assumed we all knew. The other couple didn’t know. Another problem we had was that the guide wore his headset/microphone around his neck rather than on his head so when he turned his head to the side, away from his mic, we weren’t able to hear what he was saying. We told him more than once about that problem but he didn’t correct it. Again, overall, we really enjoyed the Segways and tour and would even do it again. |
