See The City Tour - A Segway Tour of Washington DC

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!!!

Our group, six couples from 50's to 70's, was in DC for an AARP event. I have wanted to try a Segway and decided this would be the perfect place to do it. All of my friends agreed to come along. It was the highlight of our stay in Washington. Beside giving us an overview of the monuments, buildings and museums, it was just plain FUN! I would recommend the experience to anyone visiting DC.

It did not take us very long to learn how to use the Segways and we were off for an exciting two hour adventure. We moved quickly through the city and our guide watched out for us as we went through the traffic lights. We would stop at various buildings and our guide would give us a bit of history about each place. The guides were very knowledgeable about this wonderful city. It was a wonderful experience to get an overview of places you would like to go back and visit! Carole Flynt

I loved the Segway tour, it was a wonderful way to see the city!

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!

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!!!

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.

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!

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.

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!!
