| Yes, even people in their 60's can easily operate a Segway! It's great fun and a fast and relaxing way to see D.C.! My husband and I heartily recommend you try 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!!! |

| Our group, six couples from 50's to 70's, was in DC for an AARP event. I have wanted to try a Segway and decided this would be the perfect place to do it. All of my friends agreed to come along. It was the highlight of our stay in Washington. Beside giving us an overview of the monuments, buildings and museums, it was just plain FUN! I would recommend the experience to anyone visiting DC. |

| It did not take us very long to learn how to use the Segways and we were off for an exciting two hour adventure. We moved quickly through the city and our guide watched out for us as we went through the traffic lights. We would stop at various buildings and our guide would give us a bit of history about each place. The guides were very knowledgeable about this wonderful city. It was a wonderful experience to get an overview of places you would like to go back and visit!

| The main concern we had was with my wife...she was very fearful of riding on the segway. The personnel at Capital Segway spent time with her to get her used to the equipment and, when we went over to the park across the street, she became much more confident. By the end of the tour she was hoping that it could go on longer. In short, we had a blast and would highly recommend Capital Segway Tours to anyone who wants a fun way to tour Washington and have the time of their life. |

| The Segway tour of Washington DC was awesome! I enjoyed it so much I came back and did it again at the end of the day to see the city in lights. I would highly recommend this activity for all. It is easy to learn how to ride the Segway, and I am 64 years old! |

| As a local, I didn't need the tourist facts although it seemed to be pretty well done. I went for the riding experience, which is a lot of fun. Only takes about 10 minutes to get reasonably comfortable, and by the end of the ride, I felt like an expert.
Streets are pretty crowded at midday; evening might be better. |

| My husband and I are in our late 60's and I was afraid I might not have the balance needed, What a mistake. I wish there was a reason for me to buy one of these as I loved it. The segway balances itself and there was absolutely no problem. All we had problems with was how fast the time went. We were on the last tour of the night and I still wanted to go. What a great way to see some of the sights of Washington D.C,, have a load of fun and not have the legs/feet suffer. I would like to see more tours offered of Alexandria, Georgetown etc. Maybe they are and I just didn't find them. I thought the price was reasonble for the fun and once again the saving of the feet/legs from walking. We had already done 2 days of the on/off double deckers and did skip the sights we were going to see on the segway tour.
Thank you for not having a maximum age limit as I found in Mexico.
Just us

| The Segway Tour was a birthday gift to my husband. We all (4) quickly learned to use the segway. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and experience on the segway. One word for it: FUN
I would do it again, just for the fun. |
