The only way to see DC

We originally wanted to try the Segways. What I realized after the trip was this is the best way to start a DC adventure, and the first stop that should be made.
DC is big and there is much to see and do. The tour gives you a chance to see a lot of sights quickly and easily, and it's extremely fun. When you get back on foot you can go visit the sights that interested you along with the museums and eateries.
The staff was fun and put safety first, and their knowledge of the area was impressive and the details of the sights we visited was remarkable. It was worth every penny and I highly recommend it.
We went to the Coldplay concert on Friday, ate at Fogo De Chao, went to countless museums and did a lot of my favorite things in DC, but the Segway tour was by far the highlight of the trip.
What a great invention, what an outstanding company.
I don't know how well this would work in other cities, but these folks do it right in DC. |

My 16-year old son and I took the Capitol Segway tour on Halloween Day. Our tour guides were in costume (Superman & Sarah Palin), which set a jovial tone for the tour. The orientation was brief, painless and thorough. Our guides were knowledgeable about the sites we tour, had interesting asides and helped us map out the rest of our visit to D.C. The Segway itself is very easy to operate but is nonetheless fun and exhilarating. It's a quick way to get an overview of some of the District's main sites and would be about 10-times as entertaining as a bus tour. Happily, we were blessed with unseasonably pleasant weather. |

This is my second Segway tour with this company and yet again we had SO much fun. If you only have limited time to see DC this is the best way to get around. I chose this company again as I feel confident in their importance of safety which is important when you are bringing guests from out of the country. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I love Segway and only wish I could buy one to get round the city on a daily basis! |

The two young men visiting us had a perfectly wonderful time on this tour and came back exhilerated, ready to narrow the focus of what they wanted to see next, and with a great spacial sense of downtown Washington, the monuments, memorials, museums and capitol. They couldn't stop talking about it afterward and thought it was the best tour they'd been on. |

Segway tour of DC

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. The segway takes about 20 minutes to get comfortable on and then another 15-20 to 'master'. The staff is very helpful and conscientious on training you how to use it. It is one of the best ways to see DC since it is so spread out. The tour guides have plenty of information to share with you at each of the stops. They will take photos of you and your group (your camera) as well at any of the stops. This was very cool. |

The "tour" is more about having fun riding the segway than about the actual sites that you see. |
