| We loved this tour and our tour guide, Will. It was just the right amount of time (2 hours). Anything longer we would have gotten a bit tired and anything shorter would have left us wanting more. Keep in mind that if you are older or out of shape, this tour will tire you because you are standing and working your calf muscles for 2 straight hours. My wife was surprised and even a little taken aback when I told her I booked this tour, but by the end she was a complete fan and I was a hero for booking this totally cool, completely different type of tour. Will was very good about providing real historical details along our tour and he was always ready to take a photograph (good ones too!) if you wanted. I suggest you bring some water or grab a bottle of water in their office (they had a couple boxes sitting in the office, but they never offered it to any of the guests which was a bit strange). |

| At first I didn't think this would be so much fun! I learned to ride the Segway in just five minutes. The next two hours were great fun and educational as the guide was very knowledgeable. We went by all of the "must see" places and made mental notes of what we wished to see more of later. After the initial few minutes I felt totally in control and really enjoyed traveling the sidewalks, negotiating the barriers, and swooping in and out of the trees planted there. DO THIS! I want one now! |

| My 16 year-old son and I purchased a Segway tour at his pleading. I was nervous about controlling it and standing on one for that long. After 15 minutes and some "playtime" in the park across the street - I was good to go. My biggest surpises were the amount of ground the tour covered, and having a radio headset to hear the guide. Our guide was Noah and he led sometimes, followed at intersection crossings, and provided alot of information too. About half-way through we took a stretch break that helped me out. The group was 7 people, so it was quite easy to navigate the heavy pedestrian traffic on some sidewalks. My son really got a kick out of the Segway itself, probably more than seeing all the sights. Our tour ended too soon, but we would do it again in a minute.
Best Thing: Driving the Segway is intuitive and you really can't appreciate the agility till you drive one.
Worst Thing: We walked around DC for 5 days before this, so my feet hurt pretty bad. I had to get off and stretch a couple of times.
Suggestions: 1-Plan ahead and reserve your tour a week ahead of time, we almost missed out. 2-Do this tour the first day in DC, the route might help you get your bearings and your feet won't hurt like mine did... 3-Zerve needs to add in their directions that Capital Segway is across from the 14th & I Metro Station about 1/2 block down I ("eye") street.
We loved it.

| We had an absolute BLAST on the Segways. Not only do you get to buzz through the monuments to get a feel for the layout of the area, but you get to have fun too. We suggest booking this tour early in your trip -- it will allow you to cover a lot of ground quickly, and then you spend subsequent days returning to areas you want to linger at. There were interesting tidbits sprinkled throughout the tour, and our guide (Nick) was very accommodating with the pace of the tour. You don't have to have great balance to work the Segway -- if you can stand in one place, you can do it. You are given ample time to get comfortable, and the tour course is not at all challenging. If you have the desire to try it, DO IT -- you won't regret it! |

| The guide was very knowlegeable, friendly and patient. However, he kept saying rain was close and hurrying us, and we ended up with a few sprinkles and back from the tour 45 minutes early. Could have at least used the Segways in the area of the store for the time we paid for, close if it really did rain. He seemed to be in a hurry to go on to other "personal" Saturday night activities. |

| The segway tour was definetely worth the money spent. Our tour guide, Will, did an excellent job narrating the tour and was very friendly and helpful with the segway instructions. The segways were a lot easier to learn to ride than we anticipated. The only complaint that I have is that it was way too hot when we took our tour. I would definately recommend the evening or very early morning tour. We went in the middle of the day. Definetely wear sunblock and bring a bottle of water and a camera. Lots of opportunities to take great pictures of the city's sites. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a unique and fun way to view the city. |

| Excellent tour. Great guide (Noah) who was very informative and aware of the group at all times. We were lucky to have perfect weather and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. One of the best ways to see the sights in DC |

| The staff made it very easy to learn to operate the segways, gave you some practice time before leaving on the tour. We took the night tour witch was good because the sites were lit up and there was less people to get around. The guides were informative and helpful. Both me and my wife had a very good time. |
