| I was expecting a great time but was very disappointed...our guide Nick was quite rude....he acted as if my mom and I were complete idiots because we didn't know how to ride one of the Segways. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it was very difficult to try and ride the thing. Actually I was only able to ride for about 3-5 minutes before I had to get off. It was very difficult to ride. I was terribly dizzy on it as well. If you have never ridden one of these, I don't recommend a tour if it is your first time riding one of these. My mom did not like it either. Trying to avoid the crowd while steering was a terror. I would never try this again. |

| This tour was the best I've taken. We began with a short video showing us how the segway is operated on different turf and the hazards of using it in an unacceptable way. Then we were give helmets and tried out the Segway in the training office. The tour covered so much ground that we couldn't have seen so much any other way without doing a ton of walking. The tour guides were excellent, pleasant and explained many of the historical buildings throughout the tour. I highly recommend this to everyone who would like to see the monuments and historical buildings around DC up close. |

| Had a blast riding the Segway scooters. They're very easy to learn to ride and a blast once you get the hang of it (takes about 5 minutes). Although the tour guide was friendly and informative, we frankly didn't pay much attention to him--we were having too much fun riding around! Highly recommend it as a unique and fun activity. |

Very Interesting Activity! But You Can Improve.

| The machines worked flawlessly, and we're very glad we did it even though April 5th turned out to be a cold day. It was a fascinating experience. There was one undesirable outcome: shin splints for several days. I think you should mention this possibility to future riders.
Otherwise, this experience could be improved by:
1) The segway personnel need to arrive on time. We were asked to arrive 15 minutes early and the crew didn't! We were left out in the cold.
2) The guide didn't dress warm enough. Her misery was a definite distraction. And, our ride time was cut short because of the cold, a late departure, and an early return.
3) If your legal advisors require you to show the safety video, then after one joke about the video graphics, don't undermine it! Indeed, we could have used more instruction about how to navigate through dense crowds as a group. Also, you should have a map to indicate where segways are prohibited on the mall.
4) I would love to rent a segway for a couple of hours. Do you do this?
Thanks, overall, it was a great experience. |

| We had been looking forward to the experience for a long time and as it turned out,the wait was well worth it. I thought it would be much harder to learn to control but if you can think you can ride, that is all it takes. We didn't want to see the tour end. The tour guide Karen was the best, she helped make the tour interesting and fun. I will be back with my entire family. Thanks for a great time |

| My daughter took 9 of her friends on a Capital Segway tour on a Sunday afternoon. All the kids were 16 so everyone had his or her own Segway. Each kid thanked me afterwards and said it was the best birthday party ever! Kyle was a great tour guide and all the kids want to do this again. Now several of the kids want to get their parents to go on a tour. |

| The Segway was a great way for us to have fun without the 60-somethings getting too tired to keep up with the 20-somethings. We had a beautiful day to zip around the sights, although 2 hours in the wind and near-freezing weather was a challenge. We would never have been able to do this tour on foot and see as much. I recommend it to young and old (like us). |

| AFTER PRACTICING, WE WERE ALL EXPERTS BY THE TIME WE CAME BACK TO THE STORE. NOT ALOT OF "TOURIST" INFORMATION, BUT A VERY ENJOYABLE TIME BEING OUT AND ABOUT IN DC AND LEARNING HOW TO RIDE THE SEGWAYS. WOULD LOVE TO DO ANOTHER TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION! |
