| The Segway tour was all that we expected and more. My wife was very nervous at first
but within minutes she was riding like a pro. We took (4) different types of tours while
in D.C. and by far the Segway was the best. We will do it again in the near future. The guides were very knowledgable and fun. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed riding a segway and found it the best way to move around in DC
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and a very nice person. |

| Do not hold back on taking the Segway tour of Washington, DC! Anyone can learn to ride a Segway in less than three minutes--the key insight? It balances you, you do not balance the Segway!
I held back because I am close to 70 years of age. Then I saw a lady who had ten or 15 years on me, happily cruising down the DC streets, so my wife and I gave it a try. We were up and going in less than three minutes. Now, I've taken four groups of friends and out-of-town visitors for their rides. It is as close to flying as you will ever get, while staying on the ground.
Two asides: 1) If you cannot stand for about two hours, with occasional rests to sit down, it is not for you, and 2) take an evening or late afternoon tour if possible.
Why? The tour guides are young and healthy and "party-hearty." For them, the day begins about 5 PM when they wake up. You'll get the same spiel on any trip, but the enthusiasm is definitely lacking in the morning and early afternoon. |

| My teenage son and I went on the evening tour after a full day in DC. All of my fear quickly diminished upon the completion of the thorough Segway training session. Our guide / instructor explained in practical terms just how easy the Segway was to operate. After the orientation, we become even better acclimated to the new device as we spent some time tooling through the park across the street. After a few minutes everyone in our group was maneuvering around displaying their newly acquired skills. Then it was off on our adventure. Nothing will compare to the memory of going back and forth in front of the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue or listening to the Navy Band as they played on the steps of the Capitol. Throughout the evening, our guide easily communicated to everyone through use of his FM radio transmitter. The evening was enjoyable, informative and most of all...FUN! |

| This was a hightlight to the Washington DC experience! We had purchased tickets for the Open top tour which covered a good proportion of the sites that the Segway tour visited and yet the perspective from ground level as well as the running commentary gave the tour a very different quality. The Segway training and "mastery" were very much a part of the tours "special" presentation. BTW, this was a first Segway ride for all three of our group and it was "thumbs up" all around!!

| By far one of the best things I have done so far on vacation ever. I was hesitant to get on a segway but after a few minutes of supervised attention, it was a snap. Can't wait to come back and do it again. |
