| Was a great overview of where things were with the guides giving a bit of history.
Was a great start to our stay in D.C. and beat walking to get to know where
things were. We would highly recommend it! |

| My wife and I took several tours during our stay in D.C. Most of them were pretty decent, with one being terrible. My wife suggested the Segway tour and I was more than a little apprehensive about riding around on one of the segways. Once we got there and started the tour I was very happy that I went. Our tour guide Antonio was very knowledgeable of the area and really tried to make everyone have a great time. Something to note was that the weather wasn't great. It was cold and rainy, but that did not stop us from having the time of our lives. Thank you Capitol Segways. Great Job!!! |

| We went to college together 50 years ago, and live from Maine to Tennessee now. Five of us enjoyed 2 hours of smooth sailing around all the major sights in DC. We particularly enjoyed "racing" on Pennsylvania Ave. at 12 mph, and doing "slaloms" along a walkway lined with trees.
Our leader said we were not wimpy as some half our age had been - getting tired legs, and wanting to quit. No accidents, no unexpected dismounts either! We would do it again in a heartbeat!
Training was easy, practise around the fountain was perfect, and the excellent group photos taken by our guide have been sent everywhere by now. |

Quick, non-tiring overview of the Mall

| Until now the only way to get a quick in-person tour of the Mall in DC has been on-foot (takes lots of time and wears out feet) or by tour bus (ride by and never stop or get on and off and spend a lot of time waiting for the next bus on the circuit).
Now there is SEGWAY! Totally easy to use (takes 5 minutes practice in shop), fantastically mobile, more maneuverable than a bike, or car, or ANYTHING.
The combined thrill of riding the SegWay and finding a way to do the whole mall without exhausting yourself - PRICELESS.
This was a quality event from a quality outfit. I recommend it very highly. |

| Have, for the past decade, wanted to experience a Segway and this ride, was all we expected and more. Much of the good effect was due to the obvious fact that the group leader, and the tail, enjoyed their jobs. |

| Wow! This was the best tour we've ever taken! The Segway takes only 5 minutes to master and is a total blast! What a great way to see the city! |

| Montarse en una Segway y poder comenzar a disfrutarla a los 30 segundos de estar encima es fantastico, y luego tener hora y media para disfrutar a Washington, con un excelente guia, con los datos precisos, es una esperiencia fantástica.
Y además, mucho mejor que hacerlo sentado en un bus donde se corre el riesgo de quedarse dormido!!!
Un gran tour para toda la familia y a un excelente precio.

| Although the price is not optimal, the experience of riding a segway is definitely a must. The learning curve is extremely gentle, and once you get the hang of leaning in the direction you want to move in you will be able to navigate very easily. Something that needs to be tried at least once. |

| We did the tour in September with our college kids and then again last weekend with friends. The first trip was during the day and the second was a night time tour. Both trips were great. We probably enjoyed the night time trip a little better of the two - fewer tourists on the sidewalk and the tour was a slightly different route though this might vary tour to tour. All in all, a great trip!
We wouldn't mind if there was ALSO a tour emphasizing riding around more and to different places with fewer history/sightseeing stops/briefings. The stops are informative, but we've already gone on the tour twice AND we live here, so a tour emphasizing riding around to different places would be fun. |

| This is a great activity for local and visitor alike. The tour and Segway guides give a full and comprehensive tutorial and everyone in our group felt comfortable tooling around DC within minutes. In fact, all had a great time and the age range was from teenager to 60+. The tour passes by and stops by some of DC's main sights and there is a pause for photo ops. I would recommend this tour for everyone! Good value for the buck. |
