| We enjoyed our evening tour very much.
It was cooler at night, the sidewalks were less
congested, and the monuments were impressive
lit up at night. Our guide was very knowledgeable.
Lots of fun! |

| Excellent tour...the Segways are the way to see the sights and get the history.
The Capital Segway staff was very knowledgeable and conducted a great tour of DC.
Thanks! |

| We knew we picked the best operator when we arrived at the US Capitol. The competitions group was there. They had cheesy helmets, no radio receivers (there leader was yelling to them) and I know they all put down a $500 deposit.
We had 2 great guides and the instruction for us, as first time Segway riders, was just right.
We would do it again!

| The Segway tour was all that we expected and more. My wife was very nervous at first
but within minutes she was riding like a pro. We took (4) different types of tours while
in D.C. and by far the Segway was the best. We will do it again in the near future. The guides were very knowledgable and fun. |

| My husband and I, along with our two teenage boys, had a great time on our Segway tour of Washington, DC. Our tour guide, Karen, was awesome. She had lots of good facts about each of the locations we would pass and made it very interesting. It is the best way to see the mall, from the WWII Memorial all the way to the Capital. It was by far the best tour we went on in DC. I would recommend going on the Segway tour at the beginning of your vacation, because our guide pointed out some things that we had not seen.
In regards to riding the Segway, it was so easy. My family talked about afterwards that it was so FUN and we never felt uneasy on them.
I highly recommend the Segway tour. I will do it again if in Washington, or any city I visit that has Segway tours. Also, if you are a parent of a teenager, your kids will love you for it if you sign up. |

| Our young tour guide seemed a bit laissez-faire about the whole process. He often did not speak into the microphone, so we missed a few tidbits, but overall, we were satisfied. Additionally, he could have shared MANY more facts about the sights and had plenty of time to do so as we only had four people on our tour. I would still recommend the Segway Tour to visiting tourists. |

| My teenage son and I went on the evening tour after a full day in DC. All of my fear quickly diminished upon the completion of the thorough Segway training session. Our guide / instructor explained in practical terms just how easy the Segway was to operate. After the orientation, we become even better acclimated to the new device as we spent some time tooling through the park across the street. After a few minutes everyone in our group was maneuvering around displaying their newly acquired skills. Then it was off on our adventure. Nothing will compare to the memory of going back and forth in front of the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue or listening to the Navy Band as they played on the steps of the Capitol. Throughout the evening, our guide easily communicated to everyone through use of his FM radio transmitter. The evening was enjoyable, informative and most of all...FUN! |

| This was a hightlight to the Washington DC experience! We had purchased tickets for the Open top tour which covered a good proportion of the sites that the Segway tour visited and yet the perspective from ground level as well as the running commentary gave the tour a very different quality. The Segway training and "mastery" were very much a part of the tours "special" presentation. BTW, this was a first Segway ride for all three of our group and it was "thumbs up" all around!!

| My sisters and I took our Mother (who is in her 70s) to visit Washington D.C. The staff is friendly, funny and patient. I was nervous about learning to ride the Segway, but the staff made each person feel comfortable with the learning process. We were all up and "running" in a half an hour. The tour information itself was informative as well as entertaining. I would take this tour again. |
