| We had a great time on the Segway Tour of DC. Being born in DC and raised in the close in suburbs, their was not much new information for me to learn, but it gives a great over view of the town. The Segway's were a lot of fun, bringing a unique perspective as you can see a lot, right close up. I would suggest it for the begining of a trip to DC, so that you can find things that you might want to study in depth later on. There were a few trivial little mistakes in the historical presentation, but they really did not make a difference in understanding the city, and I only caught them being a Congressional Staffer myself.
Over all I would suggest this tour to any visitor or local, would be twice as nice though if it were half the price, but still a good value as it is. |

| My woman and I very much enjoyed the Segway night tour we had in D.C. The machines were fun and the tour, lead by a very competent and clever young man, was excellent. We found the experience to be very good value for money. |

| I've lived in DC for 3 years and saw and learned things I never would have had I not taken this tour. Riding the segway is easy and fun. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and not a hardass about enjoying ourselves. |

| This method was without a doubt the very best way to see a great deal of the important things in the city without wasting a lot of time. The activity itself was extraordinary. The Segway is unconditionally the most unique and comfortable way to travel. Given the opportunity I would choose this method of touring any city. As you may have guessed both my wife and I enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for the inventiveness. |

| First of all I was hesitant to do this because of the price. Afterward, I would shout from the rooftops to make people go. It was fun, well organized and just the best 2 hours of my 4 days in Washignton.
That being said, there are a couple of things you could do to make it even more fun and memorable. First, take a tip from the Duck Tours and get some Segway whistles made you can give away. The one thing that was annoying was silently buzzing by pedestrians or being stopped by them. Several people in my group commented that the Segway should have a bike bell on it. We went one step further and said they should have whistles like the duck tours have to blow at people to move. It would also make a nice souvenir of the trip, is somethign pedestrians respond to more than "RIGHT" and should not cost much.
Second, during the rest break, letting people have a little time to get a drink would be nice. I know you have to get a lot of sights in but by the end our entire group was just starving for a drink even tho our day was really nice for the tour. You don;t realize how hot it is when you are driving and it sneaks up on you when you stop.
Third, offer more gift shop options for purchase than just one t-shirt. I would have bought a shirt, a mug, or something else that had Capital Segway on it if I had a choice. The red shirt was nice but just a little too promotional. A black t-shirt with the Segway logo and your phone number would have been nice. Or a coffee mug. Or a tumbler you could take with you on the tour with water.
Finally, the tours should be an opportunity to turn Segway riders into Segway owners. Have a take away sheet with a list of Segway Dealers and other tours across the country so this doesn't turn into a one off experience. Ideally, offer a discount on a Segway purchase that refunds the user their tour fee. $70 off a $5400 piece of machinery is tiny but something that the person on the tour doesn't know when they see they could get their tour fee back.
Hopefully this helps and feel free to contact me for more info and ideas. It really was a wonderful time. |
