| I have toured DC many times but using the SEGWAY was definitely a unique and interesting way to do it a little differently. In a realtively short span of time you get a real overview of the main attractions, and from the comfort of the SEGWAY, you get to enjoy a more leisurely trip.
Riding the SEGWAY in of itself is a great expereice too. Age and physical condition are not limitations on the experience. The sort orientation makes you comfortable enough with the SEGWAY so that I had no concerns during the entire trip. |

| If you are looking for a comprehensive tour of DC... this is not the tour for you. But if you are looking to have the best time ever just riding this incredible invention.. go for it! Best 65 bucks we ever spent! |

| My husband, a girlfriend and I participated in this totally fun way to tour DC. We did the night tour and had a wonderful time. It's like combining a fun ride at 7 Flags with an informative tourist tour. Segways rock!! |

| I gave my husband a tour as a birthday gift and it was a huge success. The tour guides were very accomodating as the entire group was local and we didn't necessarily need the whole background of every monument.
We had a blast and will be back! |

| The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. The length of time of the tour (two hours) was just about perfect because, candidly, our feet got tired. (We are two old guys!) Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience.
The two of us were in a large group, 16 I believe, and at times we got all strung out and some of us missed some of the narration at the stops.
Suggestions:
1) Break up the large groups in to two smaller ones leaving five minutes, or so, apart.
2) It would be nice if you could find a way to let everyone get off their Segways and walk around or sit for five minutes near the middle of the tour.
Finally,
3) I am a tour guide for the Voice of America (VOA) at 4th and Independence, SW. I would appreciate it if you would point out the VOA and give our VOA tours a plug. The cost is FREE and the tours are at 12:15 pm and 3:15 pm every business day. (No tours on the weekend or on federal holidays.)
Thanks,

| I enjoyed the tour very much which was given by a young man who had just graduated from GWU. My only complaint would be that your organization be more cognizant of DC events that might impact the segway tour. Unbeknownst to the guides last Sunday morning, the DC triathalon was taking place. We had difficulty crossing intersections and were unable to see all the sights that were designated on the tour. Fortunately my guest thoroughly enjoyed the experience despite this oversight. Please check with DC Government website to avoid this problem. I would have been perfectly happy with a tour around Dupont, Embassy Row, etc. instead of the National Mall given the situation. Thanks again. |

| My husband and I who live locally did the Segway tour and had a great time. A different activity for a fun date. They do not take long to learn and you will not want to give them back in the end! |

| After a short "get acquainted" session, we took our turns getting acquainted with the Segways. Learning to ride is simple and fast. Out the doors and down the sidewalks we rode! What fun! Despite the fact it was a hot day, and the sun was beating down, moving along at faster than walking speeds kept us cool. People watched us, talked to us, asked about the Segways - some even photographed us as we rode along in a twisting line. I am trying to organize a group from work to take their tour - simply because of the fun of riding the Segway.
The only suggestion I would make to the tour organizers would be to have the riders get down off their platforms fairly frequently to rest our feet and move the ankles a bit; the best opportunities would be when the tour guide is giving us his spiel and has the group stationary in front of a monument or building.
It was a great ride. Loved it!!! |
