We were in town for a convention and had to make sure we saw D.C. on a tight schedule. Capital Segways has the greatest night tour and Evan was SO amazing to our group. It's so quick to learn how to ride them for the two that had never done it and I'd done it once before and it was like riding a bike. The sites were great and we got tons of great night shots that turned out just beautiful. Evan was patient and let us take as many pics as we wanted and he even took some of us too. (not a bad photographer either!) Zerve was super easy to book the tickets and even was easy to reschedule (don't forget to show up 20 minutes before). I was impressed with everything about the tour and the service from booking to the tour itself. I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you for a very memorable experience. Segways are the coolest! |

Do the tour early in your trip to get an idea of what is around the city. Karen was an excellant tour guide. The segway takes a little time to get the hang of, but its great fun (even though you look like a dork) |

I booked this tour for my Mom and Dads 50th Wedding Anniversary. My wife and I also took the tour. We all thoroughly enjoyed the tour and I have personally recommend it to all my friends and family. Anytime I come back to DC with my family I will definitely book a tour for them. Thanks again for the wonderful experience!! |

This is our second Segway Tour and our son's first. Scott was the guide and did a terrific job. We had so much fun. Would recommend this to anyone. |

I recommend this to everyone I see. Even if you have toured DC before, doing so on segway was simply a one-in-a-lifetime experience |

Our group of four had a fantastic time on the Segway tour of the Capitol. After a few minutes getting oriented on the use of this marvelous mode of transport, our guide Scott, treated us to a two plus hour adventure that was the highlight of our 16 day vacation that took us to Washington DC, NYC, & Boston.
Although our wives were initially a little skeptical, but after having such a great time in DC, they were both hoping we could find Segway tours in Manhatten and Boston. Unfortunately, that was not to be.
Our tour took us by the White House (where we coincidentally witnessed the arrival of the President on the south lawn in Marine One), the Capitol, Washington Monument, the Supreme Court, and numerous other points of interest. We even took a short side trip to the Masonic Temple described in Dan Brown's most recent novel, "The Lost Symbol".
This is great way to get oriented for a stay in the Capitol, and if you have limited time, you can cover a lot of territory in a short amount of time. It was a real blast zipping along the streets and thoroughfares--my wife is still smiling from the experience. We expect to Segway again when we return to Washington or wherever we can find a tour available.
Don't miss the Segway experience! It is great fun.

We thoroughly enjoyed the ride. The guide, Chris, was knowledgeable and very willing to share information with us. We have already recommended this adventure to our friends locally.
Our only disappointment was that our ride was canceled because of predicted high winds, which did not materialize, and rescheduled for the end of the week. By that time we had already seen most of the stops many times over. However, just being able to ride the segways was great.
When we come back we are hopeful there will be another segway route which will give us another opportunity for a fantastic adventure. Thanks |

EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SEGWAY TOUR WAS FUN AND APPROPRIATE, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. THE TOUR AND THE TOUR GUIDE WERE MOST ENJOYABLE AND INFORMATIVE. HOWEVER, I HAVE ONE MAJOR RESERVATION: THE ANIMATED VIDEO WE WERE SHOWN PRIOR TO OUR DEMONSTRATION LESSON SCARED ALL 4 OF US (ADULTS AGES 39 - 73) AND 3 OF US ALMOST TO THE POINT OF BACKING OUT OF OUR PLANS. WE WERE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT LEARNING AND TRYING THE SEGWAY AND TAKING THE TOUR UNTIL WE SAW THE VIDEO. I THINK IT IS UNNECESSARILY FRIGHTENING AND OFF-PUTTING. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO INSTRUCT AND ISSUE WARNINGS ABOUT POTENTIAL DANGERS, BUT THE VIDEO GOES FAR BEYOND WHAT IS NEEDED. IT WAS ONLY OUR DETERMINATION NOT TO DISAPPOINT EACH OTHER THAT KEPT US FROM QUITTING BEFORE WE BEGAN. I WOULD CERTAINLY SHOW AN INSTRUCTIONAL, INFORMATIVE VIDEO; HOWEVER, I WOULD SHOW ONE THAT IS MORE REASONABLE, FACTUAL OR TRUE TO LIFE, AND CERTAINLY NOT SO SCARY. THANK YOU FOR AN OVERALL VERY PLEASANT AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE AND FUN DAY. |
