| My son and I had a great time riding the Segway and seeing DC up close.
We both definitely recommend it and I know we will do it again sometime soon. |

| We had our family (ages 18 to my Mom aged 60+) in our group. They taught us well and made sure we were comfortable before we headed down the sidewalk. It was a lot of fun. We could hear the tour guide very well with the headphones so we could learn about the sights and have fun riding the segway. The only downfall is that the Game and Parks won't allow any segways on their ground, so we couldn't do the monument tour of D.C. It was definitely a highlight of the vacation. I would recommend doing this on the first few days of your trip to find out what you would like to do in the more in depth tours. |

| My husband has always wanted to do a Segway tour and being someone who is afraid of rollerskating or bicyclying I have refused. As a surprise anniversary gift this year I booked us a weekend trip to Washington D.C. and as part of the trip we were to take a Segway tour. To put it mildly HE LOVED IT and SO DID I!!!! After viewing the instructional video I was terrified of falling, being mamed, etc. However, just after a few minutes of personalized instruction from a very, very patient young man, I was off and gliding! My husband enjoyed the ride, but I think he more enjoyed watching me overcome my fear. The machines were wonderful and very easy to use. One of the teenagers on our tour insisted that her mother purchase one when they finished the trip. The tour guides were fantastic and very informative. They even kept our group up to date on the score of the U.S. vs. Brazil soccer game which was taking place during our tour. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone, young & old, who would like to see D.C. from a different perspective. We have toured D.C. many many times in our 33 years of marriage (even spent our honeymoon there). This was by far one of the best tours that we have ever taken and will definitely do it again. We are now looking into a Segway tour for our trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico at Christmas time with our adult children. Can't wait !!! |

| I was totally distracted for the actual tour because the Segway itself was so much fun but i didnt mind not paying attention. If i had actually been interested in the tour aspect i know i couldve learned a lot about the city so for people who have never been to DC they could definitly get the full experience. I really liked that you could see so much of the city in such a short amount of time. Basically I had a great time! |

| We weren't sure if this tour would be up our alley or a little corny but we loved every minute of it. As a matter of fact, we didn't want to stop at the end of our 2 hours. Our guide was very knowledgeable and quite humorous. It was really quite simple to master using the Segway. It only took a few minutes to become comfortable. That being said, I did feel that while we were touring, I spent more time focusing on my Segway riding than looking at the sights. I'd highly recommend signing up for one of the tours if you find yourself in DC! |

| This was a great tour. It might be a good idea to rent the segway to indivuduals much like a car rental. It was dificult to have to walk around after experiencing the ease of the segway! |

| The young men that provided our tour were helpful, energetic and knowledgeable about Washington DC. They even went out of their way to help one of our group when she was having trouble with her ankle. The tour covered a large area of the city in a short amount of time allowing us to go back and focus on those areas that most interested us later. The segways were WAY easier to operate than we expected. Highly recommended |

| I highly recommend this adventure. The staff was friendly and they waited for us - we were about 10 minutes late. Our "guide" was new and did not know as much about the landmarks as I would have liked, but my partner said "Who cares! These things are what makes it fun".

| This was not our first time in DC, however it was a planned get-away for my wife's birthday. As it was our first time on Segways, were we a little nervous but soon after the orientation we were on our way and feeling more and more confident.
Chris was our tour guide and did a great job making sure everyone in our group stayed together as well as provided a very decriptive explaination of the buildings. He provided great photo opportinuties and answered all historical questions we had.
As this tour does include riding in the bike path provided in the road, I would recommend the Segway dealer provide reflective vests for all patrons. From someone who manages safety issues, I believe it is very important for all Segway riders to remain visible to all drivers. As our tour ended just past sunset (5:15pm), I beleive we became an easy target as we became less visible @ night.
All in all this was a great opportunity for me and my wife who would do it again! Infact, if I lived in the city I would want to own a Segway!! :) |

| This was the third segway tour for myself and the first for my young adult daughter. I have never had a bad experience with any of the tours in San Francisco, Gettysburg and now in Washington D. C. Segway is a fun, relaxing way to see many sights not possible on foot or by personal vehicle.
The staff and tour guides are very patient in making sure each person is comfortable, trained in its use and safe. They are very knowledgable in the history of the area. Just a very fun and informative adventure. |
