| I procrastinated for days trying to decide if it was worth $80 to do a 2 hour tour where I didn't even get to sit down - sure, it was different and something I'd never tried before, but I had only paid half as much for a 2 day hop-on-hop-off bus pass the previous weekend. Well - it was worth it AND MORE: what a GREAT way to see the city at street level and have fun at the same time! The Segway is easy to use, addictive, and the most fun I've had in ages.Our guide Evan was well informed, friendly and helpful and had us using the Segway confidently inside of 20 minutes. I had expected that it would be different (it was), and probably good fun (it most DEFINATELY was), and that 2 hours would be PLENTY (it most definately WAS NOT) - no-one in our group wanted it to end and we were all reluctant to give back our Segways. I hadn't expected that I would absolutely LOVE it and could have happily joined the next group - I can't recommend this activity highly enough: do yourself a favour and try it - you won't regret it! |

| True to their word, there's no Damage Deposit when you arrive for your tour. I enjoyed the first tour so much I came back for a second a few days later. |

| We had such a great time on the 12:00 noon tour that we came back the last night of our trip and went on the night tour. The guides were exceptional and did everything to make sure we had a GREAT time. 5 Stars to Capital Segway |

| My wife and I had a good time and the people running the tour were superb. The only thing that I would be hesitant about is that you are standing on a small platform for 2 hours. I think both of our feet went to sleep at some point and this could be dangerous, because of the need to shift your weight to make the Segway move forward and back. Otherwise the tour was great. I will recommend it to friends, but will let them know about the one drawback.
Thank you,

| I highly recommend doing the latest tour of the day, as all the monumets are lit up and there are fewer pedestrians on the sidewalk. |

Good your, boring guide

| I live in Rockville now and had a friend in from Pittsburgh, PA. He wanted to see the city but had knee surgery a few months earlier and couldn't walk without pain. The Segway tour was the way to go. Although you are on your feet for quite a while, there were times we rested and he had a chance to sit. The use of a wirless system to hear the tour guide was invaluable. A memorable event and one that I would recommend to others. |

| The Segway tour is the first thing we did in D.C. Having never been before I was looking forward to using the tour as a way to get to know the layout of the city. It fit the bill perfectly. After the two hour tour I knew exactly where everything was. So it served a purpose, but it was also a lot of fun. Will, our guide, did a fine job teaching the ins and outs of Segway operation and kept us informed of the basic tourist info at each of the stops.
Segways are a blast to operate and are a lot faster (and less tiring) than walking. Thus, they're ideal for a place like D.C. where there is a lot of ground to cover between the monuments and the musems. So a Segway tour is perfect whether you have a lot to see or just want to have fun doing what you'd normally do on foot. |

| Riding the Segways was fantastic. It makes me want to buy one soon. It was amazingly easy, and felt very much like downhill skiing, only a lot safer. I just wish they would have rented by the week, after the tour. It was the best way to get around town in DC, and we could have used one for days.
The tour guide was OK but nothing sensational. We had seen a lot of DC before so his tour was pretty much as expected. It was the right length, and hit all the high spots, so I would give the tour guide a B+. He does have his hands full with a bunch of Segways crusing around. Over all very fun times. |
