With only a short amount of time to spend in DC, this was an excellent experience for tourists + newby segway adventurists. |

A Segway tour is an outstanding way of getting around to explore primary DC memorial sights. This is the third time I had participated in a Segway city tour and I am always pleased with what was able to be seen in a relatively short period of time as well as the extreme fun it is to operate a Segway. I highly recommend the experience! |

I really enjoyed the segway experience and it is a great way to see the sites in an around the National Mall. I was surprised how quickly I learnt to use the segway and what great fun it was to ride. By the end of the hour or two it was very intuitive and I virtually forgot I was riding it.
The sites in the mall and whitehouse were excellent of course the only shame was we did not get to the Lincoln Memorial. Tyler was very good at shepherding his "flock", "clutch" "gaggle" (what do you call a group of feldgling segway riders?) along and across the streets and paths.
My only and significant disappointment was that my receiver kept cutting out. Tyler did have spare batteries and an earpiece but the receiver unit was the problem and a spare one of those would be handy for guides to carry instread of worrying about batteries etc. However it did work for 90% of the tour.
Overall an excellent tourist experience.

We had booked the tour for the wrong date, so we had to stay in DC an extra day. We wanted to cancel or reschedule but it was not an option. But we are glad we waited. The Segway on itself is lots of fun. DC is a very intriguing city and full of culture. That and the very knowledgeable, easy going and enthusiastic guide made this a unique experience. We are now looking for Segway tours on other cities. By the way, individual headsets make the whole experience private yet public. |

My son and I visited DC for 4 days to take in as much as we could in that time frame. We booked this activity as our FIRST thing to do. The Segway tour was a GREAT way to start - it gave us an opportunity to see most of the area we wanted to visit quickly and get the lay of the land so to speak. We used the experience to plan the rest of our visit.
Andrew, on top of the great experience, was a lot of fun.

Started with training. It was great but I thought the tourtime should be 2 hours and not include the trainingtime. Good guides especially our first guide the second tourguide was hard to understand because he was not talking so clear English. To have in ear communication from the guide was great and the reason I choosed this company and if I returned I should have choosed them again. |

The tour guides were awesome. They were kind enough to take plenty of photos and were patient with teaching us. They provided us with ponchos which was great. Also, the sites we visited were cool, although I would've loved to see the MLK monument since it's so new.
I have already suggested this tour to my friends and told them about how wonderful the tour guides were. Will definitely use this company next time I have friends visiting me |

I've been on tours a lot of different places so it was nice to have the best aspects of a walking tour and a riding tour together. It was a fantastically fun way to see the major DC spots. |

It is our the 2nd time on this DC tour, they do a great job and I love the head phones. Everyone hears what is being said along the tour. Easy to navagate the Segways. Great way to see parts of DC. |
