| All my siblings were together for a rare weekend; that hardly ever happens. We had a beautiful sunny warm day in DC and I introduced them all to segways for the first time. A couple of them were a little hesitant at first. But once comfort levels had been achieved, everyone really enjoyed themselves.
Our guide was wonderful. He provided us with good information at each of the tour stops; but also allowed us freedom to move around at every safe opportunity.
By the end of the day, a couple of the siblings were talking about buying their own segways when they get home. |

| At first, my friend & I were a bit nervous about whether or not we'd be able to ride the Segways but once we went across the street to the park, we had indeed mastered it- just like the instructor told us. Our tour guide was fabulous and thorough and the 2 hour tour ended up almost 3 hours. Will was great and made our tour fun! |

| Although we are Washington natives, I took my wife on this tour for her birthday and we had a blast. I'd highly recommend it. You become an instant celebrity around town! |

| Best part of DC trip was this segway tour. Very easy to learn to ride and a great way to see the city. Lots of jealous people watching us buzz by. Highly recommended. Staff were very friendly and helpful. |

| This was one of the most fun experiences I have had in a long time. The Segway is an amazing machine. The first few minutes I was on it, it was so sensitive to my every slightest move that I had a hard time quieting my mind and keeping it still. But after a few minutes, it seemed like it actually adapted to me! I only had to "think" of moving in a direction and I there I moved! I only had to "think" of stopping and I stopped. Thisl area of DC seemed like the ideal place for a Segway tour. All sidewalks had wheelchair ramp access. And the monuments and museums along the mall are so spread out that it would have taken the entire day to see what we saw in just 2 hours. What a fun way to share experiences with someone.
PS. Every crowd of kids we passed we got stares, shouts of "cool!" and "awesome." These are not expletives that a 55 year old man is used to hearing from grade schoolers! |

| If you've never been on a Segway before, I strongly recommend this tour - it's a blast.! As you cruise around DC, you'll get curious and envious looks from the pedestrians that you leave in the dust. Loads of fun (and you'll see the sites, too!). |

It was, like, SOOO FUN!

| This was the best thing we have ever done. The segways were so fun that it wouldn't have mattered if we had been on a tour or just goofing off in the park, but the tour part was great, too. I would highly recommend taking a segway tour on the first day of a trip to DC as a means to get oriented in the city and see where everything is located so that you could choose what you would like to see later in more detail. My family thought it was great, even though they were apprehensive at first. My 78-year-old dad was riding around like a pro in a matter of minutes. I really appreciated the fact that the owner of Capitol Segway both called and emailed me to make sure we could reschedule our trip due to extremely bad weather. Thanks a lot! |

| We had a really good time - although the weather was too cold and everyone were happy to cut the tour a little short. The only thing I would have liked, would be for the guide to give us more logical info on how the Segway really works, as the whole "think forward and you'll go forward"-thing doesn't really do it for me...
The guide was very knowledgeable and funny, and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. Although I was a little scared on the Segway at first (especially at some speed), I am amazed at the steep learning curve and how intuitive the ride really is. I will definitely bring my family (from Norway) on a tour next time they're in town!
Thanks again for a fun tour! |

| My husband, adult children and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The guide (Will) was informative and knew some interesting and unusual details about the different sites. He majored in history and his knowledge was evident in the delivery of the information.
The Segways are easy to manuever and tremendous fun. Be cautious though, one gal flipped off rounding a corner to quickly. |
