The segways were easy to learn how to ride. They made sure we all felt comfortable before setting out on the streets of Washington. Drew was a great tour guide. It gives you a great overview of the city. |

Beyond being easy and so much fun, the Segway Tour allowed you to see the highlights of Washington quickly, and with a knowledgeable guide and a small group. |

The Segway tour was the great. Segways are very easy to operate and we covered so much distance in two hours. Our tour guide Drew was awesome, funny, and knew his stuff. I never felt unsafe even driving on the streets. What a blast and the highlight of our trip to D.C.!!! |

So much fun. Easy to learn, we were "pros" in just a few minutes. My family (me, wife and 17 year old son) agreed that the Segway tour was the best part of our visit to Washington. Definately recommend as a fun way to get the "lay of the land". And don't worry, it is very easy and natural to get the hang of riding a Segway. |

We were in Washington DC for three days and on the plane back, all we could talk about was the Segway tour. This was the most fun, easy to learn and easy to do..plus you get to see so much that is important to any trip in Washington DC, but see it without all the walking and so much quicker and SO MUCH MORE FUN. We will definitely do this again and only thru these guys. My family of four adults all recommend using these guys for your tour....the guide is very entertaining and knows his stuff about the monuments and points of interest...plus, he knows his way around as you ride thru the streets and walkways...watch as people marvel and yell "Segway!" time and again. |

We were a little worried about successfully driving the Segways but after the first 10-20 minutes we were all fine. It was fun. We saw so much - almost all the main sites - in a short span of time and without all the walking! This tour is worth every single dollar of the cost. We didn't want it to end. |

At first I wasn't sure whether spending $70 to ride on a segway around DC would be worth it, but it absolutely was. The guides were great, I felt safe and well-instructed riding around, and between hearing about the stops and having some time to just ride around, it was the highlight of the trip. |

During our 2 hour Segway tour we must've seen and learned about 25+ buildings and monuments, many more than we could've seen on our own just walking around. Yes, we could've taken a bus tour, but this was just SO much more FUN! The guides, Scott Brown (no, not the senator) and Chris were extremely knowledgeable and FUNNY, and were willing to stop & answer any & all questions. We also got to stop often for photos, and found that other tourists found US worthy of photographing!
The great thing about this tour is that it gives you a great idea of the extent of what DC has to offer, & with the guides' descriptions, it's then easier to decide which places to go back & visit. I highly recommend this tour, and if you do it, do it FIRST, before you visit the sights.
Our tour didn't cover the Lincoln or Jefferson Memorials, so you'd need to see those on your own.
As long as you're physically sound, you can ride the Segway. You just need a sense of balance. After watching a short video, we practiced in the store, then headed across the street to a small park to practice more. Then we set off. I was a bit shaky for all of 10 minutes, but then it started to feel as natural as riding a bike.
Go for it!!! |
