I was already very familiar with the monuments and public buildings we saw on our Segway tour, but it was great fun to learn to ride (drive?) a Segway -- which is an amazing vehicle -- and to zip along the sidewalks providing entertainment to locals and tourists alike. Our leader was both a good Segway instructor and a good tourguide. The next time we have out-of-town guests we'll offer them a Segway tour; it may be the highlight of their visit!

Our tour guide, Dave, did a great job. We had already seen some tourist spots, so he took us on an alternate route and we rode all over the city. He was very knowledgeable of the behind the scenes details of the sites visited. Both he and the manager, Drew, were personable and professional. We had a great time and if we ever go back or have an opportunity to recommend a segway company to use, Capital is the one! Thanks for the highlight of our trip!

Best time of our 10 day East coast vacation. Washington DC via Segway is the ONLY way to see it. We tried it both ways, walked our blisters off, and then did the evening Segway tour. It was so easy to master and our son now wants one for his own. Guide was well informed and just plain FUN. The scary part is the safety video before you first step on a Segway. No matter what you plan as a tourist in any city that offers Segway tours, make sure you get on the list and take a Segway tour, you will make memories that will last forever! Hi Ho Segway ... take IT away!

The attraction sells.. the tour guides do not.

I thoroughly enjoyed being on the Segway and it is a GREAT way to see the city. Our tour guide (the red haired gentlemen) was very knowledgable about the city and things to see and do. A better script and doing a better way to present the information would have been better. The second gentlemen with us (shorts t shirts and flip flops...) knew little to nothing about buildings and did not point out key points of interests... I felt that there was a looseness and 'do what you want on the tour...' instead of really giving an indepth tour. I feel you could charge (a little) more if your appearance and demeanor in the streets was more professional and indepth in the tour. You are knowledgable about the Segways just feel you need work in presentation. The gentlen in the store dressed in a Segway gold shirt and pants looked professional. Our tour guides really did not. I feel I missed a lot of what Washington DC had to offer because nothing was really explained or shown ESPECIALLY on the way back from the Capital. Several people of our tour (one gentlemen in particular) seemed like they were more into the Segway and doing what they weren't supposed to do then taking a tour. This was a distraction at the times when explanations were being made of key sites. This was too bad and diminished the experience.

Hi - We decided to take the Segway Tour since our nephew was visiting from Tennessee. I was quite nervous because I wasn't sure I could ride the thing, but it was not a problem at all. My husband and nephew had a wonderful time, and we could hardly get my newphew (who is 16) off the Segway when we returned to I Street. Our guide was excellent and well informed. He was constantly on the alert for problems we might be having, or that might come at us from some of the strange people we met, especially outside the White House. Many people were simply curious about the Segway. I must say that I didn't pay enough attention to the tour itself because I was so focused on the ride.

Had a 2 hour evening tour. Saw all the sights. Really enjoyed the ride and the tour. Was very fortunate that we got a private tour. Only the two of us. Strongly recommend.

Great way to see the Mall and surrounding area

The Segway instruction was excellent and made the ride easy. It's a great way to cover a lot of ground relatively quickly. I had no problems with other pedestrians, the Segway is very maneuverable. Our guide was very good and knowledgeable. I would have liked a longer tour, the tour was informative and a lot of fun!

The four of us took the Segway tour on our first day in DC. We had a great time and the guide was wonderful. There were only four of us in the group and the weather was great. The Segway tour is what stands out from your four day trip to DC :)

Riding Segways with this company is so much fun! It was my and another friend's 2nd time and the 1st time for our other friend. The guys who work there get you up and feeling comfortable in minutes. They are fun and full of knowledge on the tour. It's just great - beautiful day, riding segways, great tour! I could do this every weekend!
