| We had a ball. The staff was very helpful and supportive of one of the people in our trio who was very anxious about the activity. |

| We knew we picked the best operator when we arrived at the US Capitol. The competitions group was there. They had cheesy helmets, no radio receivers (there leader was yelling to them) and I know they all put down a $500 deposit.
We had 2 great guides and the instruction for us, as first time Segway riders, was just right.
We would do it again!

| The Segway tour was all that we expected and more. My wife was very nervous at first
but within minutes she was riding like a pro. We took (4) different types of tours while
in D.C. and by far the Segway was the best. We will do it again in the near future. The guides were very knowledgable and fun. |

| Everyone in my party (age range 18-75) really enjoyed the Segway tour. My only suggestion is that for the 8 pm tour (the one we took) anyone with even slight sight impairment be followed closely or paired with a buddy or something so that on the darkest stretches obstructions can be pointed out. My 75 year old uncle collided with a large immobile object primarily because it was a dark unlit stretch of sidewalk and he couldn't discern the subtle shades of gray needed to make out the objects' presence. He could have been paying better attention, but if it had been lighter chances are better he would have avoided the collision; or if I had known to stay close to him to point out the objects if it looked like he was going hit something. He was not at all hurt; not even sore the next day, and he had a really good time. |

| I'll be brief! If you like surfing, moving faster than a pedestrian, and always wanted to be like George Jetson on those super cool, retro futuristic transportation vehicles of the 70's cartoon world, then the CapSegway tour is a MUST DO - whether you know DC well already or are visiting for the first time!
We whizzed up and down DC streets and sidewalks and took in the White House, the Ellipse, The Washington Monument, the Mall and the museums, the Capitol, the Smithsonian Castle, etc. etc.! Ask for Aaron - he was great!
And get ready to laugh and have a good ol' time feeling silly and cool and wishing you could commute this way more often! |

This is a *MUST DO* when visiting DC!

| The capital segway tour was excellent! I absolutely loved it and will always recommend it to others. The night tour is beautiful and great for taking pictures. The tour guides were very informative and super friendly. I really liked how they would look out for everyone's safety when we were near vehicles. I felt very safe and comfortable enough to ask them questions. I really liked that we all had our own audio receivers to be able to listen to our tour guides during the entire time. I did notice, during the tour we passed by another segway tour (not part of capital segway)that did not have the audio receivers and could not hear what their tour guides were saying. Needless to say, there was a lot of screaming and confusion in that tour group. I cannot say enough great things about Capital Segway tours. |

| My husband and I, along with our two teenage boys, had a great time on our Segway tour of Washington, DC. Our tour guide, Karen, was awesome. She had lots of good facts about each of the locations we would pass and made it very interesting. It is the best way to see the mall, from the WWII Memorial all the way to the Capital. It was by far the best tour we went on in DC. I would recommend going on the Segway tour at the beginning of your vacation, because our guide pointed out some things that we had not seen.
In regards to riding the Segway, it was so easy. My family talked about afterwards that it was so FUN and we never felt uneasy on them.
I highly recommend the Segway tour. I will do it again if in Washington, or any city I visit that has Segway tours. Also, if you are a parent of a teenager, your kids will love you for it if you sign up. |
