| Seeing DC on a Segway is very worthwhile and highly recommended.
Tour leader was personable, enthusiastic and protected the safety of participants.
The downside is that this particular leader was somewhat overly opinionated and did not distinguish between his personal preferences and those of others.. e.g., he recommended traditional art exhibits over modern because traditional seemed to be his preference. The content of the tour was quite basic with too few anecdotal references. |

| We really enjoyed our day in DC. Riding the Segway's added a great mix to our day of site seeing. I thought the tour guides were great, giving us just the right amount of "free time" to take pictures and ask questions. We were able to see a lot in two hours and then go back on foot to the places we really wanted to explore inside. Great day!!! |

| We thought the guide was very helpful and informative. He had a relaxed style that put everyone at ease. The segways were the perfect way to look around the capitol and Washington mall areas. |

| I've wanted to try a Segway for a longtime and this seemed like the way to do it. It's a little pricey, but reasonable for a one-time experience. The tour is well-organized and the tour guides were extremely professional and knowledgeable. It doesn't take an athelete or even someone physically-inclined to quickly get comfortable on these machines. With a short tutorial and training session we were on our way around the city. I was concerned about the radio intercoms between the guides and followers, but this system worked flawlessly. The whole thing seemed well-thought out and organized. Our tour was two-hours and that was a good length for this - remember, you're standing up the whole time.
This was an outstanding way to see DC and I'd recommend it to anyone. |

Alan and Aaron were A+ tour guides. |

| had a great time, took the evening tour to see all the buildings and monuments lit up, less crowded riding around, got to see everything in 2 hours that would have taken 2 days to walk. |

| It was our first time experiencing the Segway and we determined it to be great fun and certainly beat walking. Other than each side of the White House I can't think of anything tremendously awesome in regards to the tour itself, but doing it on the Segway was cool with many other site see'ers were looking at us and wishing they had done the same. |

| The staff at the Segway store put us seniors (63-74) at ease with their thorough training before practice in the adjacent park. By the time the tour ended we were cruising comfortably at near max speed on the DC streets.
My wife complained that her helmet smelled like dirty hair, and her headset stopped working during the last half hour of the tour. On this warm September day I appreciated the provision of a chilled bottle of water.
Scott, our guide, led our group of six with enthusiasm and humor. The stops were well timed. Scott provided good info about the sites and offered to take our pictures several times during this memorable excursion. Recreational bikers all, we agreed that this was the most fun we'd had in a long time. |

| We chose the late night evening tour 7:00pm, but I recommend to see the sights during the day not unless you have a camera that can be adjusted. You don't get to see the sights in their full beauty and definition. Getting around with the segway was a breeze. The staff was very helpful and considerate. They made sure you understood the safety and operation of the segways.. I would definitely do it again. |
