Fun Tour

Having walked around Washington a few times, it was great to be able to see so many different sites so quickly. It was also a very good excuse to take a Segway ride. The instructors/tour guides were very friendly, professional, and helpful. I would recommend this tour even to someone who has seen the sites of DC a couple times. It's probably not the best way to get an in depth history tour just because of the format, but it's great to see a lot in a short amount of time.

Great day out but not the best tour.

Overall it was a very enjoyable day out and I would recommend it to others. it was good fun and an exciting new experience. I am really glad I did it and it is worth the price however I would have a few reservations: Using a segway for the first time can be a bit nerve-wracking particularly in crossing streets etc, it might not be for everyone. While the guides were very helpful and friendly - the tour aspect was a bit weaker, it was not always possible to hear the commentary and the commentary could have been more detailed. if you want a great fun day out trying something new, give the segway tour a whirl, if your priority is learning about dc maybe pick a different tour.

We had so much fun!

What we were after was the experience of riding a Segway and the two hours was just perfect. The historical part of the tour was secondary for us since we have done extensive DC sightseeing over the years. First-timers did get a good historical overview and orientation. The instruction was very good and we found the machines easy to use. Great experience. Thanks.

Great Tour - Highly Recommended

Great tour, great staff! I highly recommend this tour of the city. Lots of fun! The only recommendation that I have would be to make the tour longer. We spent almost 2 hours on the Segways, but only an hour or a little more was spent actually touring.

Careful Planning

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.

We had such a wonderful time and the tour guide (Aaron) was a lot of fun. We went on the evening tour at 9:30 and the sites were beautiful after dark.

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!

A Must Do on a visit to DC
Sat, Sep 13, 08   3:30 PM caycay20 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
It was a double bonus going on this tour - having the opportunity to try out a Segway (when would I ever have another chance?) and having the ability to cover an awful lot of sightseeing ground in 2 hours! The tour guides instilled a lot of confidence in being able to handle the Segway and they knew exactly where to take us for great photo ops! It was expensive, but actually well worth the cost!
