| This tour is a fun overview of the DC sights and buildings. It is a good introduction to the area layout, and provides some good leads on what to see more of on foot. The Segway itself is a blast to ride, and the new models with the tiller steering are very easy to control. |

| Great fun!! Segways are easy to learn to use and a blast to ride. It is the best way to see a lot of the Mall area in a short afternoon. The two out-of-town teenagers who accompanied us thought it was the best part of a full weekend of DC activities and sights. Tour guides were VERY knowledgeable, sharing lots of facts not heard on other tours.
WELL WORTH the cost !!!!! |

| A Segway Tour was definitely the major highlight of our weekend in DC. I've never ridden a Segway before, so it was a lot of fun! You need some 5 mins to start feeling comfortable controlling the device, and then the fun begins! You roam around downtown, see the attractions end the guides who go with you make the tour very informative as well. Thank you guys for the great experience! You made our day! |

Our group was mixed family and friends ranging in age from 19 to 62 and we all had a great time. It was a wonderful group activity that also allowed us to be outside and tour our beautiful city -- covering a lot more ground than you would want to by walking and/or Metro.
We were amazed at how easy it was and after a very short time everyone in the group was comfortable riding their Segways.
Our guides, Erica and Will, were also terrific and flexible to the varied expectations of the various group members. |

| While having great fun riding the Segway the tour also provides a lot of value by providing a good overview of "The Mall". Investing 2 hours helps to identify the things you want to see in more details. This is in particular useful for first-time visitors. In this case do the tour early in the day.
For repeat visitors it is a new way of looking at the city. So there is good value for them as well.
The price (US$65 per person) is reasonable.
Bottom line: Strongly recommended! |

Easy to use, but wear supportive shoes

| It was definitely enjoyable cruising around DC, drawing stares and relishing the blessing of not needing to walk the tour. Our guide admitted herself that she was new to the city and even though her cache of capital trivia was far from off-putting, I really only recommend the tour to try out the ridiculously easy and fun to use segway. It was easy to grow comfortable using them, given the instructor's patient and experienced guidance. I think my only suggestion is to wear a supportive shoe when you're using segways--I have collapsed arches and painful bunions, so while the segways were a joy to use, standing for two hours became considerably uncomfortable for me. |
