| A group of coworkers and I are on temporary assignment to Washington DC from different parts of the country. We are staying in a location that enables us to walk to and from work every day, which is how we first spotted the Segways. We had all heard of them before but never seen them up close nor had the opportunity to operate them. We booked a tour (very easy, no confusing processes, etc.) and we were completely thrilled with the experience. Two hours is a great tour length and gives one plenty of time to get comfortable and enjoy riding the Segway. We are all here for another six weeks and plan on doing this at least once more, if not twice! The price seems a little expensive at first, especially if you're paying for a whole family, but it is worth every penny!! The tour guides (ask for Adam) were knowledgeable and personable, which makes a big difference. I cannot think of any reason not to try this!! And, it looks harder than it is...at first you will be a little wobbly, and unsure of yourself on it. But, after a little while, it becomes an "extension" of you and starts to feel very natural. You will not be disappointed!! |

| Unless you were in the front of the group, you missed the beginning of the
information being shared with the group. Although we had fun, maybe a little
more time should be given to allow all the riders to arrive. |

| Although my date was skeptical at first (thinking it would be a bit lame), we had a great time. The segways are pretty fast, and they allow you time to play around on them. They are also diligent about keeping everyone safe, and allow plunty of time for photos! |

| I have lived near DC my whole life and have seen almost everything there is to see. The Segway tour was something completely new and exciting! Not only did I see some of the old favorites such as the White House and the Capitol, but there were also stops at new locations! The tour guides were fantastic! They knew quite a bit about the history of the city and plans for the future. Another bonus is that Capital Segway does not limit your speed. We flew past other tour companies and probably covered twice as many sites in the same time! Also, we learned how to ride the Segways inside rather than out on the street. Therefore, all our emabarrassing moments could be kept inside! I later saw other groups learning how to ride almost at the White House. By the time we set out on the tour, we were completely comfortable with Segway. I highly recommend this tour and the company! I plan on doing it again! Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes as you are pretty much standing for the entire tour! |

| I may be somewhat biased here, but I've been ( along with my 25 year old son) on a couple of Segway tours before, and I love riding these machines! They are the most fun I could imagine, and safe to ride plus extremely maneuverable. The tour was excellent, showed several prominent spots in DC, and was fun to be in a situation that was not overly controlled or restricted... I would highly recommend this activity for any fun loving person...! |

| Great tour and at night when the crowds aren't out gives plenty of space to enjoy the segway. Very fun. |

| As a local, I didn't need the tourist facts although it seemed to be pretty well done. I went for the riding experience, which is a lot of fun. Only takes about 10 minutes to get reasonably comfortable, and by the end of the ride, I felt like an expert.
Streets are pretty crowded at midday; evening might be better. |
