| This was an awesome experience... Staff and tour guide (Nick) was friendly and accommodating. Very interesting tour, informative and fun. This is a must do...I would like to see them offer straight rentals also, so that after the tour one could go out on their own. Their competition advertises this option, so we checked it out the next day. That staff acted like they were doing us a favor to talk to us, and we also noticed that the equipment was the older version of the Segway.. Needless to say we didnt utilize their service. Capital Segway uses the most current Segway models for their tours. I would not hesitate to return to Capital Segway on my next visit. |

| We were several days into our vacation when we scheduled our Segway tour of D.C. Zipping down the sidewalks was a lot of fun and we covered a lot of ground in 2 hours. I think seeing the sights in D.C. on a "Segway Tour of Washington D.C." would be an excellent "1st exposure" to the area. It would give one a brief look at a lot of the area's significant sights and help one choose the areas where more time should be spent.
As we continued to tour the area on foot, we both wished we still had our Segways! Regardless of when you take a Segway tour in the D.C. area, it will be one of the highlights of your vacation. "Segway Tours of Washington D.C." is a very well run company. |

| Heard about the tour from enthusiastic friend at work ...
Suggested it to my grandson a few monhs ago ... for his anual visit
It sounded "cool" ... so we gave it a try.
It's a great Grandma - Grandson outing ...
- brief and effective instructions
- good equipment
- DC tourist "highlights"
Lots of fun! Incredibly better than walking around!
... will be back when my next Grandson turns 16!

| We had a great time riding the Sedways through Washington, D.C. We took the evening tour (left at 6:30) which we really liked: it was cooler late in the day, less pedestrian traffic at that time of day )important since yo ride the Segways on the sidewalks). Our guide (Noah) also did a great job of talking about the buildings. It doesn't take very long at all to get comfortable riding the Segways. We would recommend this to anyone. |

| Went with myself and 16 year old boy. I loved the tour - he loved the Segway (i liked the Segway too - but he LOVED the segway). The tour guide (Noah) said he knew some of us were there to use the segway rather than hear the tour so he didn't mind if anyone just wanted to experiment by toodling around on their machine rather than stand quietly listening. -- NOTE: My feet had an unpleasant tingling sensation from using the machine and I noticed one other gentleman on the tour having the same problem. Most folks were fine. It didn't prevent me from finishing the tour - but I wouldn't want to own one. Then again, my son would be driving it all the time anyway, so I guess it wouldn't matter... |

| Other than the rain which postponed our start and caused us to end early, the tour was great fun. Loved it. |

| The Segway was a fun way to get around DC. It made the distance between the sites more enjoyable not the typical trudging along. |

| I couldn't believe how easy the Segway was to ride (even though I fell off once). We saw all of the major DC sights in 2 hours, plus got interesting tidbits of trivia throughout the tour. I can't wait to do the tour at night! |

| I surprised my boyfriend with this activity as a part of a day full of D.C. Surprises in celebration of his 27th birthday. The surprise activities included Kayaking along the Potomac, Lunch at Hank's Oyster Bar, Dinner at the Tabard Inn, a show at the D.C Improv, but the event that was the most memorable and most exciting and entertaining was, by far, the Segway Tour. We loved the experience. The tour guides were informative (not in a dry tour-guide-kinda-way, but in a personal, humerous, entertaining way.) We saw the entire city of D.C. in two hours and loved every minute of it. Can't wait to try it again. |

| My husband is a 'motorhead' who likes snowmachines and 4 wheelers with lots of power. He was skeptical about doing this but totally enjoyed himself. We seriously thought about renting them for a day later but ran out of time. I would recommend it for any and all types of people. |
