| Enjoyed by everyone- 2 over 55's and one 18 year old. Niece descrived it as one of the best parts of her trip. Definitely a "Must". great way to see city highlights. We did the evening tour so we saw the sights a night - an added bonus. |

| My cousin from Chicago was visiting, so I thought this would be a fun and different thing to do. My cousin is not a thrill-seeker and was a little nervous, but she enjoyed it thoroughly and said she would do it again in a heartbeat. I only wish the tour guides had some sort of microphone as background city noise often overpowered their voice. |

| My husband and I were visiting DC for a wedding and were invited to take the segway tour with other friends in town for the same event. My husband had never really been around DC, so was excited to go on a tour. I have spent more time in the city, but was excited about the unique way of getting around.
We loved every minute of our tour! At first, I was a bit nervous on the Segway. It takes a few minutes to get used to, but honestly, the more relaxed you are, the easier it is! We were zipping around the streets in no time! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that hasn't been around DC, and even for those that have! I would recommend the early Saturday morning tour, since there are fewer pedestrians. We had a blast and are still talking about it! |

| After a short "get acquainted" session, we took our turns getting acquainted with the Segways. Learning to ride is simple and fast. Out the doors and down the sidewalks we rode! What fun! Despite the fact it was a hot day, and the sun was beating down, moving along at faster than walking speeds kept us cool. People watched us, talked to us, asked about the Segways - some even photographed us as we rode along in a twisting line. I am trying to organize a group from work to take their tour - simply because of the fun of riding the Segway.
The only suggestion I would make to the tour organizers would be to have the riders get down off their platforms fairly frequently to rest our feet and move the ankles a bit; the best opportunities would be when the tour guide is giving us his spiel and has the group stationary in front of a monument or building.
It was a great ride. Loved it!!! |

| Young and old were on our tour. The guide's level of interaction was perfect -- shared some interesting facts about the city, but let us have time to fool around with the Segways. I was hesitant at first, but was able to pick it up quickly. Two hours is a perfect amount of time. |

| It was really a fun way to tour the city. On a nice sunny day such was the day I took a tour, there really is not better way to spend your day outside. What a wonderful way to get around the city and learn a lot about it as well. Wish I would have thought of the idea!! |

| The Segway was a blast to ride, and the tour was much more informative than I expected. Highly recommended. |

| The tour was relaxing and casual, with more than enough information from the guides. Traveling on the Segway was a unique and fun way to cover the distances between landmarks quickly. We were also very fortunate to have ideal weather, and our tour was during the evening, which added a nice touch. We both had a blast, and highly recommend this as a great alternative to boring bus or walking tours. |

| A group of coworkers and I are on temporary assignment to Washington DC from different parts of the country. We are staying in a location that enables us to walk to and from work every day, which is how we first spotted the Segways. We had all heard of them before but never seen them up close nor had the opportunity to operate them. We booked a tour (very easy, no confusing processes, etc.) and we were completely thrilled with the experience. Two hours is a great tour length and gives one plenty of time to get comfortable and enjoy riding the Segway. We are all here for another six weeks and plan on doing this at least once more, if not twice! The price seems a little expensive at first, especially if you're paying for a whole family, but it is worth every penny!! The tour guides (ask for Adam) were knowledgeable and personable, which makes a big difference. I cannot think of any reason not to try this!! And, it looks harder than it is...at first you will be a little wobbly, and unsure of yourself on it. But, after a little while, it becomes an "extension" of you and starts to feel very natural. You will not be disappointed!! |
