| I recommend this to anyone. A great way to see several sites in a short time, without getting tired. You can hear from those walking saying "Now that's what we need". |

Fanastic Ride!

| At first our group was a little nervous that it wasn't going to be as much fun as we hoped due to the unenthusiastic greeting we received. We certainly do not think that you should do a cheer when we arrive, however, a "Hello!" Thanks for coming to Capital Segway!" then briefly tell us what is going to happen next, is very helpful. First impressions are everything, especially when running a business. The way the employees look, dress, and act and how the store presents itself are crucially important to a tourist driven activity. The Segway ride itself was fantastic! Will was our tour guide and did a great job of telling us some fun facts along the way without being too overwhelmingly "tour-guide-ish.” This is a great way to see a lot of sites in a short amount of time while riding an extremely fun machine! I will definitely do Segway tours in other cities! |

| The only recommendation that I would have would be more practice getting on and off the device before you start out. |

| I would highly recommend this tour. The tour guide, Karen, was great and this tour was loads of fun. I felt confident in handling the Segway after their short video and walking you through it. This was a very informative tour as well. Thanks for the great time.

Very Interesting Activity! But You Can Improve.

| The machines worked flawlessly, and we're very glad we did it even though April 5th turned out to be a cold day. It was a fascinating experience. There was one undesirable outcome: shin splints for several days. I think you should mention this possibility to future riders.
Otherwise, this experience could be improved by:
1) The segway personnel need to arrive on time. We were asked to arrive 15 minutes early and the crew didn't! We were left out in the cold.
2) The guide didn't dress warm enough. Her misery was a definite distraction. And, our ride time was cut short because of the cold, a late departure, and an early return.
3) If your legal advisors require you to show the safety video, then after one joke about the video graphics, don't undermine it! Indeed, we could have used more instruction about how to navigate through dense crowds as a group. Also, you should have a map to indicate where segways are prohibited on the mall.
4) I would love to rent a segway for a couple of hours. Do you do this?
Thanks, overall, it was a great experience. |

| This segway tour was the highlight of our trip!! The guides were extremely helpful and patient with of the new riders! And they were full of information about all the stops along the way during our tour. This is a must do if you're going to Washington D.C.! |

| On a sweltering 100 degree plus afternoon nothing beats touring the sights of DC on your own personalized transport. Covering serious miles while not sweating it is great. The added bonus of gliding and tangoing with the Segway seals the deal. |
