My husband is 64 and I'm closing 50; while everyone else was probably younger than 40, we still had a BLAST. If you can stand up for 2 hours, you can take this tour. The tour guides / instructors were friendly and very helpful. They gave a lot of history details also. The Segway is incredibly fun to ride and was really quick to learn! It gives you a feel for what you want to go back and see on the inside as this tour does not enter any of the buildings.

I live locally and wanted to try out riding the machines. It was a blast. I think it was a good value and recommend it for the adventure and the novelty. I took the 6:30 tour so the walkways were not crowded and you could get some spurts of speed. You adapt pretty quickly to maneuvering.

Short on history, long on fun!

Our family included four adults (two over fifty, two younger). Learning to ride the segway was fun and fairly easy for all of us. Our guide seemed reasonably knowledgeable though the history aspect of the tour was secondary to the fun of traveling around the city on the segway. Our two hour tour was about right. One hour would have been way too short. More than two hours might have been a little much for me, though the younger members of our group were ready for more. I suppose the high cost of the tour is due to the expensive equipment, but it was a little pricey.

Do not hesitate...do it!

My husband and I came from Montreal, Canada to visit Washington. On our first night we saw some people doing a tour on a Segway. I told my husband: "We really need to do it". He found that site on internet and the following day we did the tour at 3:30pm. We were alone with the guide (I think her name was Erika). It was more than what we were expecting. Everybody should do this at least once in their life. For sure I will do it again. This was the better city tour that I never did in my life. Thanks for that wonderful experience. Vincent and France

It was awesome

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and they made sure we were all comfortable on the segway before starting the tour. The guide not only provided a great tour but also included the unusual details of the buildings or history. It was a great way to overview the city in 2 hours to get a feel for how the city was laid out and what you would want to go back and tour. Our friend who is a DC local wrnt with us and she enjoyed it so much she booked another tour for next week for her, her husband and some other friends.

So Much Fun and Educational Too!

What a great way to see D.C.! Although you can't go into any of the buildings the tour guides (ours were Noah and Erica) were very well versed in the history of the city and it's buildings. The boys (two 16 year olds) actually learned a few interesting facts! I don't think they would have been as attentive if we weren't on the Segway! And what a blast the Segway is to ride!! It was so easy to get the hang of it! We covered so much ground in a 2 hour tour... I really couldn't believe how fast the time went by! I have already recommended to friends and co-workers! We will definitely do this tour again!

Super Fun

Great tour - knowledgable guides and they were very attentive to people who were squeamish about the Segueways. Even the telephone rep was pleasant - even after I gave him a hard time about giving certain information over the telephone. I would highly recommend the tour. Oh, and I was on the tour ona Saturday night - a night tour - which I did not see listed on the flyer. I would highly recommend the night tour - less heat, traffic and pedestrians!

Easy to use, but wear supportive shoes
Sun, Aug 5, 07   9:30 AM swcnyc Female Under 20 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
It was definitely enjoyable cruising around DC, drawing stares and relishing the blessing of not needing to walk the tour. Our guide admitted herself that she was new to the city and even though her cache of capital trivia was far from off-putting, I really only recommend the tour to try out the ridiculously easy and fun to use segway. It was easy to grow comfortable using them, given the instructor's patient and experienced guidance. I think my only suggestion is to wear a supportive shoe when you're using segways--I have collapsed arches and painful bunions, so while the segways were a joy to use, standing for two hours became considerably uncomfortable for me.
