In June, my wife's sister, husband and two adult children were visiting from New Orleans. On the recommendation of a friend, we booked a Segway Tour a few weeks in advance. The tour lasted the full two hours and it was just the right length. As a native of DC, I did not expect to see or hear much new. I was very pleasantly surprised. Segways were very easy to ride - took less than 5 minutes to get comfortable riding them! We enjoyed it so much that we took our adult daughter (again), son and his wife on a tour with this group last weekend when they were visiting!
What a great experience! We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a slightly different way to see the tourist sites of DC!! |

My son found your tour online, it sounded like fun so we both did it. It was awesome! The segway was fun and easy to use, the tour guides patient, entertaining and just great! |

We thoroughly enjoyed our Capital Segway tour. And yes, although it's really all about riding the Segway, we enjoyed the tour as well and found out about a number of things we would not have seen otherwise. Staff were very friendly and helpful. |

They should reverse the order of sights.

My tour was a night tour, and fabulous. In my tour we started with the wide open area in front of the White House, but at that point we just got started and so most of the tour group was tentative and still learning the machine. I think we really couldn't enjoy the open area as much as we would've at the end. It takes about 30 minutes to feel really competent, 5 minutes to just get going. The staff are very tolerant and patient. Our tour guide knew a good deal of facts about the sights we visited, and was polite. |

This was a great tour! After a brief intro and training session in the office and a nearby park, we were all soon zooming around the city, which is breathtaking at night. Our guide was funny and encouraging, and we had no disasters or even minor snafus. This fun expedition was one of the highlights (if not THE highlight) of our visit. Highly recommended! Note: the tour does NOT go to the WWII, Vietnam or Lincoln Memorials. |

My daughter was so excited since she just turned 16 a few weeks before to be old enough to try the segways. I was nervous but the guide was so nice and patient. We knew it would be fun but it was way beyond our expectations! It was easy to learn. Our guide gave the perfect about of information. We learned more in our segway tour than we did on a bus tour and walking it ourselves. I am so glad the guide had a microphone so we could hear him clearly at all times. The segway tour was definitely the highlight of our visit to D.C. ... hands down! Thank you! |

My friend and i had a great time. I'm local, but she had never been to DC before. It was the perfect way to see the city. |

I was a bit apprehensive when I first got onto the Segway - but after stabilizing by putting pressure on my toes and heels (as instructed), all was well and good. The tour guides were courteous and very informative. The equipment was the latest model (we researched this - other tours did not have the newest model as you did). I highly recommend this tour. I'd do it again in another city. I absolutely loved it. |

This was a birthday outing for my daughter. The folks gave excellent training and after 15 mins practice we felt at ease on the Segway. Good weather and excellent guides made this adventure truly fun. |
