| I took my mother on this tour for her 80th birthday. We had such an amazing time and our guide (Will) was fantastic. I would highly recommended this tour to people of all ages. We took this tour at night which I think added to the enjoyment of the tour. D.C. at night is so beautiful and there are a lot less people on the streets and sidewalks. |

Neat!

| Tour goes on for the full two hours, the tour guides are knowledgeable and they take safety seriously. Learned many new facts about Washington, D.C., the tour started on time, and I would definitely recommend Capital Segway. |

| so much fun riding the segways! pretty free range and time to play with them as well as seeing all the basic sights in dc as well as interesting less popular sites and information beyond textbook history and fact bulletin. Guides were funny and nice. Would definitely do this in another town. |

| It took a few minutes to get used the segway but once I did it was a blast. Our tours guides were extremely nice ( I apologize if I'm incorrect I believe Matt was one of their names) regardless both were enjoyable during our tour. I would highly recommend this activity ( you get a quick summary of many different DC locales ) which you can then pick the places you want to spend more time at after the tour. One small thing for a short time after the tour I had a mild case of what I would say was motion sickness ( had this feeling after boating on occassion ) so this may affect some people ( my wife was fine ) but I would have no reservations on doing this activity again. |

| I am 60 years old, consider myself generally uncoordinated and out of shape, and grew up outside D. C. and have seen it a million times -- all good reasons not to do this tour. But it was so much fun that I want to take every friend I have and do it again! Forget going into the boring old buildings and seeing pictures of people long gone -- zip through the streets and have strangers smile at you (or not -- they are probably jealous) while you are grooving along at 10 m.p.h. and feeling like you could take off and fly. Plus the tour guides have great stories to tell that I had never heard before (like why the Washington Monument was almost torn down before it was finished -- power plays -- the usual thing). It's really easy, promise! |

| The experience of cruising around DC on the Segway was one we'll never forget. Steering and manuvering the Segway was effortless; we felt as if we glided around DC, surfing the sidewalks. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeble of the area and more than willing to take pictures of our group. I strongly recommend this activity to anyone that wants to experience something new and exciting. |

| The segway tour was awesome. We enjoyed riding the segways especially since the guides did such a good job of explaining how to ride them and spent extra time getting used to riding the segways before we started on our tour around DC. Would highly recommend this tour to see the sights in DC and to do something unique. |

| We had a lot of fun on the segways. The guides gave us a lot of fun, anecdotal info about some of the sites that we hadn't heard before, and we were able to zoom around town a lot faster than we had on foot! The segways are very easy to get used to using, and the guides gave us plenty of time to practice on them before we headed out. We had a nice small group and found that taking a weekend tour allowed us to get around town easier...less foot and car traffic. |

| I thought I would fall off and wouldn't be able to balance, but with a few instructions, we took off! I haven't had this much fun in ages and recommend it to anyone who has a tough time walking around seeing the monuments. The narration by the guys was very good and informative. Even things I didn't know after living for 5 years in the D.C. area. |

| Excellent equipment, easy to learn to use. Strong and invaluable input from guides with new insights on DC even for us who had visited the city many times. |
