| My husband planned this tour as a surprise for me. At first I was hesitant about riding on a segway. However, the staff were so helpful and friendly they quickly put me at ease. Plenty of practice time was given and two staff accompanied our small group on the tour. Riding on the segway was easy and fun as well as a great way to see the city. We have been on bike tours of cities before but this was a much easier ride and more fun. We were able to see all the highlights of Washington DC without any walking. The guides were also very laid back, knowledgable and helpful. I would hightly recommend this tour for all ages. |

| Great tour, nice photo ops. Great if you only have 2-4 hours to see the sights of W.DC. |

| Good fun and very worth while doing. We got to see lots of the sights, and with a humorous commentary from our 2 guides.
We were surprised at how easy the Segway was to use, and by the end of the tour we were experts !! okay, maybe not experts but we sure did enjoy the experience.
This something everyone should do at least once, don't be shy!
Next time I visit Washington DC, I'll be sure to do it again.

| Great experience We really enjoyed this trip. My only problem is figuring out the reason I need a Segway at home. |

| It was a great trip and a lot of fun but I think that time could be better divided if the groups were smaller. I feel that some people spent a lot of time waiting for others to catch up and others spent a lot of time catching up. It seemed like the group could easily be divided into two more comfortable groups and perhaps make all customers happier.
That said, I would definitely recommend this tour to people I know visiting DC.
Thanks. |

| I loved being on the segways. I've seen DC before so it wasn't as much about seeing the sights. I'd definitely recommend it and maybe try it again. |

| Totally fun. Always wanted to run a Segway. Washington DC tour made it so much better. Even the spouse who has arthritis in her knees loved it. Got good info from tour guide. Already recommended to friends and co-workers. Best part was doing donuts in front of the White House. Scariest part was the safety video, the little stick figure guy dies horribly, but not to worry, we were fine! Do it! |

| Initally I was concerned about the learning curve for the Segway and also if my wife would be as enthusiastic as I was to try this 'new' way of touring a city - versus taking a bus / tram / trolley (or even the highly rated walking) tour. My wife took to the Segway right away and really seemed to enjoy zipping around. I requested a 'night' trip as I was keen to see the sights lit up and also to avoid the crowds and the company was very helpful in arranging that. I was concerned that the Segway's didn't have headlights (we were provided rear flashing bicycle lights), but I had no trouble navigating even in the darkest spots. The weather was perfect and the skies clear. One lady in our party came off her Segway crossing the first street, but bravely soldiered on and overcame her initial reluctance. The guide was friendly but the tour information on the sites was pretty sketchy. We'd have liked to have more historical detail. I have since overheard the City Segway tour guide and can see why they are rated #1 by tripadvisor.com versus these guys at #26. The City Segway tour is longer too, for the same price, so perhaps that is why they can provide so much more information.
In summary, although expensive I can highly recommend the experience. It is definitely worth paying the extra to take a Segway. I was hesitant but I now realize it's not as much an expensive tour as a fun adventure. Our Segways were the latest and in good condition and not speed limited. No technical issues during the tour. Recommended! |

| My wife and I decided to take a segway tour to see the city. She wanted to do an afternoon adventure but I convinced her to take the late night tour. It's way better to do the late night tour for many reasons. There is little to no pedestrian and vehicle traffic so you can zip about as fast as you want. Our tour guide, Adam, was awesome and very helpful. We got to see the city in less than 2 hours and the weather was perfect. It was our first time riding a Segway and I can't wait until I do it again. I highly recommend this as the number one thing to do in DC. |
