| Riding the Segway is a unique way to see parts of DC and it was a lot of fun. We certainly attracted attention! We got to see the White House, the Capitol Building parts of the Smithsonian and other federal buildings but the tour doesn't include memorials or monuments due to limitations on where the Segways can be ridden.
The tour guides were knowledgeable and very accomodating though sometimes I had hoped for more detail in their briefings.
Riding the Segway was definitely a blast and made the tour quite enjoyable.
Definitely worth the money. |

| I loved being on the segways. I've seen DC before so it wasn't as much about seeing the sights. I'd definitely recommend it and maybe try it again. |

| Totally fun. Always wanted to run a Segway. Washington DC tour made it so much better. Even the spouse who has arthritis in her knees loved it. Got good info from tour guide. Already recommended to friends and co-workers. Best part was doing donuts in front of the White House. Scariest part was the safety video, the little stick figure guy dies horribly, but not to worry, we were fine! Do it! |

Outstanding way to see the city, but expensive

| This is by far the best way to see a city, way better than tour busses. However; it is overpriced. The Segways are fun and easy to use. |

| Segways offer an amazing sensation of locomotion--nothing like it! I was nervous at first but got the hang of it and really enjoyed it. The guide was kind and supportive through my initial fear--he was terrific. My teenage nephew thinks that I am the coolest aunt, for this experience. One caution: Be aware that Segways aren't permitted on Park Service territory, so you won't be seeing the monuments up close. However, the tour does cover a lot of ground, including Capitol Hill, and it is well worth it! |

| My family had a great time on the segways but I felt the tour was a bit too short. I later discovered that ofher programs offer a 3 hour tour while yours was only two. I thought the segways made the tour enjoyable but limited information was given about the different stops along the way. It was overpriced for the time spent actually touring (<90 minutes). If I choose to do a segway tour again I will probably try out one of the other programs since they are basically the same price and offer an extra hour. |

| Excellent way to see the memorials/monuments and other important buildings in DC without walking and walking. We covered a lot of ground on a very hot day and barely broke a sweat! The Segways are so much fun and very easy to ride and control. The tour guide was also excellent and we enjoyed the trivia and knowledge he imparted to us. I can't wait to have more visitors so I have an excuse to rent the Segways again! |

| We had a fantastic tour. The tour guides were great and the Segways were a blast. The Segways were easy to use and there was a good mix between the tour narrative and cruising along city sidewalks on the Segway. We now all want a Segway of our own. |
