| Making reservations for this tour was so easy and all the details were spelled out online, with specific location details, as well as everything that was important to bring along. The tour itself was worth every penny! The Segway is an awesome way to travel around D.C. with helpful guides who tell about the sites through a sound system where everyone has an earpiece to listen in! |

| So much fun. The Segway was fun and easy to use and we learned some new things about the city. My only complaint, I wish that we could have gone further. It probably depends on how quick the group is to pick up the new skill and how fast they want to move. I'd definitely recommend this. We're schedule for another one in a couple of weeks! |

| My summary statement that this was a BLAST! which is how I'd describe when I finished the tour. I didn't start out that way... During my first practice runs I wondered if I'd be able to do this. The downside was fear of falling off the Segway which caused my legs and feet to be really tired. I didn't think I could finish the tour. But...once I got comfortable and confident in maneuvering this thing... my pains all went away (took me first hour to get comfortable). It was unbelievable how this happened. I really LOVED this tour. My friend had same experience and had hard time listening to our guides as she was constantly balancing while "standing still" at the tour stops. In the second hour, I was having so much fun...I was trying to figure out what I could do with one of these if I bought one! One more thing...I thought that this would be fun for my parents (late 70's and early 80's), but not sure they could do this as it requires a sense of balance...which they do not have. The guides told me they were working on a program for kids which I think would master this fabulously! I'd recommend 12 and up. As a local, I will be entertaining everyone who wants to tour DC on a Segway...makes it fun for me too! |

| I had a great time on this Segway tour. The tour guides were very informative. One guide had a better presentation than the other. He was loud and enunciated very well. The other, was a bit quiet and did not have much energy and enthusiasm. I learned a lot of interesting facts about the buildings in DC. I was able to take amazing photos and the guides were very accommodating. They took pictures of my friends and I, would stay in an area a bit longer if necessary, and since I was often one of the last ones in the group, they were very gracious in getting me back with the pack, so to speak.
I went to an early tour, figuring that the streets would not be as crowded. I think that is probably best for newbies like myself. Now that I have done it before, I would feel comfortable navigating the Segway in a more congested area.
I was tenuous at first, but after some practice within the Segway shop, in front of the Segway shop and in the park across the street from the Segway shop, I was zooming down the road with my fellow Segway riders. Segways are great. Walking is totally overrated. My friends and I had a blast. My friend's husband wants to buy one, I would too, but I just don't have the cash for it. Any way, I have lived in VA for 3 years and had this on my list of things to do and I am so glad I did.
I can't wait to have my next visit from family or friends. We are totally going on a Segway tour.
Keep up the great work! |

| The tour was fabulous. The guides friendly and professional. One of the things I liked was the fact that the guides knew that not everyone is there for the local info; rather to enjoy their segway rides. But all the information that they do give is very good. will go back when friends and family visit from out of town. |

| We were so impressed with the easy manner of the instructors. It was a beautiful day and we had a blast tooling around downtown. As locals, we were not as interested in the tour aspect of the trip, but were allowed to zip around the group when stopped for tour commentary. We would stress the importance of wearing very comfortable shoes with good support. Although riding is very easy (anyone can do it), the balancing requires use of muscles in the foot that are not ordinarily used. Although I bit uncomfortable, it did not distract from the fun of riding. We are trying to figure out a word for a group of segway riders...not unlike a gaggle of geese or a scurry of squirrels...have yet to come up with a good one! |

| I've walked the National Mall before and seen all of the monuments/museums numerous times when I have to play tour guide when family/friends come to visit. I decided to do something different when my grandmother came to visit for two reasons: 1) I'm tired of walking the entire National Mall every time someone visits and 2) my grandmother would look funny on a Segway. The tour was a lot of fun. I've never ridden a Segway before and that was the highlight for me since I've seen all the Mall stuff. My grandmother loved it even more since it was her first time here. I would recommend this trip to out of towners and locals. |
