| Riding the segway through DC was amazing, very fun!
There were a few bumbs along the way however. Some people did fall and others did not have enough time to get use to the Segway. If there were any points to hinder the tour of DC it would be:
1. To have more time practicing with the machine (segway) before going on tour.
2. To have more time to look at things, it was less of a tour and more of a riding experience.
Other than this, the tour was great. The two tour guides were great at helping others and directing us. Very friendly and compasionate group. By the end of the tour I would say everyone was use to the machines and had fun on them, minus a few cases of falling and such. Overall experience was good, leaves you wanting more. |

| Do the tour early in your trip to get an idea of what is around the city. Karen was an excellant tour guide. The segway takes a little time to get the hang of, but its great fun (even though you look like a dork) |

| We originally wanted to try the Segways. What I realized after the trip was this is the best way to start a DC adventure, and the first stop that should be made.
DC is big and there is much to see and do. The tour gives you a chance to see a lot of sights quickly and easily, and it's extremely fun. When you get back on foot you can go visit the sights that interested you along with the museums and eateries.
The staff was fun and put safety first, and their knowledge of the area was impressive and the details of the sights we visited was remarkable. It was worth every penny and I highly recommend it.
We went to the Coldplay concert on Friday, ate at Fogo De Chao, went to countless museums and did a lot of my favorite things in DC, but the Segway tour was by far the highlight of the trip.
What a great invention, what an outstanding company.
I don't know how well this would work in other cities, but these folks do it right in DC. |

| THE SEGWAY TOUR WAS WONDERFUL! WE TOURED WASHINGTON DC WHICH HAS MILES OF WALKING TO SEE THE SITES. THIS TOUR BROUGHT US UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL TO A FEW WE HAD MISSED ALONG THE WAY. THE TOUR GUIDE WAS WONDERFUL AND INFORMATIVE. THIS TOUR WAS THE HIGHLITE OF OUR FOUR DAYS IN DC. I WOULD DO IT AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT. |

| We recommend this as the #1 thing to do for those extra special visitors/friends who come to Washington, DC. (Do this first before all other outings.)
My husband, 24 yr old stepson and I had a fun time Saturday, June 30 , 2007 on the 630p trip. Two positive, friendly instructor/tour leaders (Noah & Lenora, I believe) led us safely, with ease on a smooth ride around the city. Segways are easy/safe to get on/off and "drive/ride." The practice session in the park across the street before the tour was valuable, allowing time to create a SW operator comfort zone.
Any responsible individual over 16-80 yrs would be a good candidate for this adventure. Wear flat shoes, as you will be on your feet 2-3 hrs. Anyone unable to withstand that should not participate.
Our summer evening event was peaceful, in superb weather, with plenty of room to navigate. You may have been on tours that take the visitor door-to-door to the museums and buildings. You may have worked and driven all around the area many, many times. You may have even walked a few times to/from the attractions/around the mall, et al. I have done all 3.) However, you have never experienced the ease, safety, swiftness, height advantage or riding fun touring around on an oh-so-easy-to-operate Model 2 Segway offers!
(The $65 each price tag was well worth it. If the electric battery charge had a range of 50 miles, rather than 24, we'd be sure to own two each of these ~$5100 models.)
We can't wait to find 2 more couples to join us for a more private tour this summer.
Have a blast! Do remember to bring your camera.
V/r,
Suzette & family

| Took my 66 year old mother for a two hour tour. She had a blast and so did my wife and I. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the city w/o the hassle of walking or riding a bus. |

| It was an excellent experience. Our guide was great. He was fun, pleasant, took his time sharing information, taking pictures with patience, gave us extra time, and made the first night of our vacation our best one. I took my two teenagers who loved the tour. I have told everyone about it and can't say enough good things. |
