| I booked with Capital Segway because
(1) they had more time slots than the others
(2) they don't restrict the speed
(3) the biggest reason is that each of us had wireless headset so we could hear our tour guide regardless of whether we were stopped at an interesting site or cruising along a path. This allowed him to provide more narration and information without having to be turning your head to attempt to listen the guide. This is very important when you're trying to drive a Segway and listen at the same time. It gives you the ability to focus on where your going and the surroundings all the while clearly hearing the insight about the area/attractions. |

| I took my 18 year old grandson on the tour and it was awesome! The Segways are easy to learn and end up being very intuitive. If you can stand up you can do this. It is a great way to be introduced to the DC area. The tour guide is quite knowledgeable and provides great information as well as plenty of opportunities to just ride the Segway - after all that is one of the reasons that you take the tour. Anyone should be able to do this if they simply remove any doubts in their mind. The introduction is clear and the guide is more than helpful getting you used to the machine. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone. |

| Our Capitol Segway Washington DC city tour was fantastic. The entire operation from beginning to end was very professionally run, with safety and fun the focus. This is without a doubt the best way to see so much of this great city in a 2 hour tour. We were able to hear our leader/tour guide throughout the event using wireless earpieces. She was very knowledgeable and seemed to be having as much fun as we had.
We had never used Segways before, but after about 5 minutes felt completely comfortable and confident. The Segways are a blast to ride.
Make sure you use this company and not the others that also provide Segway tours. The main reasons are 1)the wireless earpiece to hear the tour guide (we passed a group from another company that doesn't use microphones and earpieces, and their tour guide was shouting to be heard) and 2) this company doesn't use speed limiters on their Segways enabling you to go the full 12.5 MPH that the Segway was designed to go (believe me, you'll enjoy going fast some of the time, it's great fun).
Overall, this tour far exceeded my high expectations and I would recommend it to anyone. One note of caution, the Segway is operated while standing, and this is a two hour tour. We took several breaks during the tour and got off the Segways to stretch our legs. But if you have trouble standing for periods at a time, this may not be for you. Otherwise, have a ball!! |

| This tour was superb. The staff was a bit late getting started, but proved to be outstanding. Their instruction was personalized and expert. They had everyone, even older folks and some not so bright folks, up and running within 15-20 minutes.
Our guides, Adam and Noah were superb. Their knowledge of D.C. and of all of the buildings and local lore was first rate. They ensured safety of everyone in the group but left ample freedom for better riders to move about a bit on their own. The equipment was all first rate, including helments and earpieces for walkie talkie from the guides. Would do again, and use these guys over the other similar Segway tours in D.C. |

| "My son and I just arrived from our Washington DC trip and I have to say that one of the highlights of our trip was taking the Segway tour with Capital Segway. Our tour guide was Noah and he was awesome. He was friendly, funny, patient and very knowledgeable about the places we visited. I absolutely recommend this as part of your vacation in DC. The first day we arrived we walked everywhere and were totaly exhausted. The next day we did the Segway tour and what a relief. I just wish I could afford to buy a Segway. I would consider driving it to work since I only live about 3-4 miles from work.. Capital Segway and Noah "ROCK".. " |

| Other Segway tours I've been on have been 4 hrs or more with lunch included. This one was shorter and didn't hit some of the sights such as Fords theatre which was strange since it was the closest attraction to their offices. Overall the guides were knowledgeable and I probably would have never noticed anything lacking had I not been on a Segway tour before. |
