Let's face it. You are riding a Segway! This was definitely the best tour I've ever taken of DC. I will definitely be doing it again!

Very fun

I wish the "tour" part had been a little more detailed... I understand that the format of the tour is limited, but more details as to what we were visiting would have been nice. It was hard to hear what the guide was saying unless right up front. All in all, a good time!!!

Good instruction, good guides,.

Having lived in the city for a number of years until 1989 I was familiar with the institutions, most of the history and the itinerary. Joined the tour more for the experience of riding the Segway than for the subject matter. But the kids kept it lively and even taught me a few things. This 2 hour (plus) activity is not a breeze for old people but a whole lot of fun for those with more guts than brains.

Fun Ride!

it was definitely a really fun way to get around the city. I'm not sure it's great as a tour because you are looking down a lot and not so much taking in the surroundings. however, the riding was so much fun i found myself wanting to hear less of the tour guides "tour" type stuff and just do more riding!

Fun for all ages

Young and old were on our tour. The guide's level of interaction was perfect -- shared some interesting facts about the city, but let us have time to fool around with the Segways. I was hesitant at first, but was able to pick it up quickly. Two hours is a perfect amount of time.

Great way to see the city

It was really a fun way to tour the city. On a nice sunny day such was the day I took a tour, there really is not better way to spend your day outside. What a wonderful way to get around the city and learn a lot about it as well. Wish I would have thought of the idea!!

Super Segway Tour

This was a super activity. The company was very customer friendly and provided great instruction on the use of the segway. My wife and I felt very comfortable in operating the Segways after 10 minutes or less of "practice" time. This was a great way to see and hear about the Washington DC sites around the mall in 2 hours.

loved the tour

I would do this tour again--it was great!! It was a great way to see the highlights of Washington DC and so much easier than walkng. The tour guides did an excellent job putting us at ease (we were a little nervous at first) and it was just a fun, awesome experience!!!!! The next time I am in any city that offers these tours I will definitely do it! We would have done the tour again if time permitted but we had to catch a flight. I recommend this tour to anyone!

Highlight of the Weekend

The main concern we had was with my wife...she was very fearful of riding on the segway. The personnel at Capital Segway spent time with her to get her used to the equipment and, when we went over to the park across the street, she became much more confident. By the end of the tour she was hoping that it could go on longer. In short, we had a blast and would highly recommend Capital Segway Tours to anyone who wants a fun way to tour Washington and have the time of their life.

Diappointed
Sat, Aug 30, 08   9:30 AM estherhen Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We are avid fans of segway tours and have been on this one last year. Last experience was outstanding. This time bitterly diappointing. Our guides were polite but unknowledgeable and unenthusiastic. Being nice just for the tips. I got the feeling they couldn't wait to get the tour done. I would not recommend this tour to anyone. Will go with a different segway company as we will definitely be back to the area.
