| My wife & I are local to DC but really enjoyed our tour guides knowledge of DC. Amazing how much we saw in 2 hours. |

The Segway is so much fun to drive!

| The tour around DC was really fun; our tour guide was nice. Being a local, I would have been fine not covering so much ground around the city--I would have been just as happy going to a few open areas and just jet around on the Segway. |

A great way to move around a city

| I loved the tour - using the segway alone was a fantastic experience in itself and doing it in DC made it more enjoyable. The commentary was not that excellent though, the first half was made more interesting by the tour guide's humour. The tour was supposed to be 2 hours, but it was actually only an hour and 15 mins, as half an hour was devoted to practising and we came back quarter of an hour earlier. If it weren't for the fact that it was fun using a segway, I would not recommend this tour to anyone. |

| The Segway is a safe and fun 21st Century solution to providing a quick reconnaisance of the Capital Hill and Mall area - especially for a tourist who is only vaguely familiar with the locations of all the museums, memorials and other sites. The Segway is easy to learn to operate and provides the needed mobility to travel on sidewalks and other places not possible for larger vehicles. We travelled several miles in our 2 hour tour and few could walk that distance in a day. The useful information provided by our courteous and helpful guide, Noah, enabled us to set priorities as to which sites we would subsequently visit on our own.
I highly recommend the Segway tour: it is fun, informative and worth every cent of the modest cost. |

| This is a fun way to get around the east end of Washington DC's National Mall; it's too bad that the Segway's aren't allowed west of the Washington Monument. The two guides pointed out things on the tour that we would have missed on our own. The safety video and short training session get you ready for the ride as well as pointing out what situations to avoid. As one of the guides put it, the hardest thing about beginning to ride a Segway is trusting the equipment. The first step up onto it and finding that it does balance was the only hard part. I found it to be a lot like skiing in the way you control the Segway.
Don't pass up this opportunity when visiting DC. |

| While it wasn't the most comprehensive or fact-filled tour, it was a blast and the tour guides were great. First getting on the Segway was a little nerve wracking but after a couple minutes we got the hang of it and by the end of the tour none of us wanted to give ours up. |

| Thoroughly enjoyed my tour. Plenty of time to get acclimatised to the Segway, which wasn't as hard as it looked. Guide was very friendly and chatty and informative. Two hours whizzed by, almost as fast as the Segway itself! |

| Now this was fun! The best part of our trip hands down. Even my girlfriend loved it and she didnt have the best of feelings about it in the begaining. The tour guides were great and made it a wonderful trip. Only thing i would change is being able to go to the National Mall. Other than that small change..... all i can say is this tour rocked and i WILL be doing it again! Thanks guys.. (And girl :) ) |
