| The Segway Tour was a birthday gift to my husband. We all (4) quickly learned to use the segway. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and experience on the segway. One word for it: FUN
I would do it again, just for the fun. |

| Our guides (we called them wranglers!) took such care with all of us. The training session was professional and very helpful. Once we got out onto the streets, they shepherded us across intersections very effectively; I never once felt insecure about facing traffic. The guides presented informed anecdotes at each sight and interacted with all in the group. This is a brilliant endeavor - everyone wins. Kudos to Capital Segway! |

| This tour was really fun, the Segways used were quite new and really easy to use after getting used it. The accompanying guides were great and knew a lot about the different sites we visited and were also helping, if somebody had a problem with his / her Segway or wanted a photo taken. But the best of the tour is clearly surfing through the city and seeing as much in 2 hours that you would not manage on feet or even by car, if you take into account the time it takes to find a parking. |

| Segways are easy to ride, safe and more fun than anything else on wheels. The tour is just long enough to be interesting without becoming tiring. The tour guide is friendly, informative and very helpful for those few riders who may be a bit unsure of themselves in the beginning. There is nothing not to love about touring the DC sites on a Segway. My wife and daughter, who claim that the gene for coordination is missing in their family, were riding like pros in a couple of minutes. We all felt like kids again. |

| I have lived in the DC area my whole life, and have periodically trudged around this fascinating (though VAST) city over the past 19 years, but never have I seen DC like this. The tour took us past numerous landmarks, including both the White House and the Capital, which on foot take an exasperatingly long time to walk between, and gave everyone the opportunity to see more in less time. The tour guides were very knowledgeable about the landmarks and were very helpful in answering everyone's questions, as well as in providing interesting commentary about each building. I found that seeing the sights becomes much more meaningful when given a context in which to take them. It was an enjoyable experience even for a native like myself.
Additionally, the segways are both a lot of fun and easy to use. They require no physical exertion, which is something I welcomed with open arms; you essentially need only to think about going forward or backward and you begin moving in the desired direction.
I would recommend doing an evening or nighttime tour. The summer heat tends to be more bearable later in the day (or else early in the morning), and the buildings are lit up at night which is an added bonus!
Highly recommended! |

| We had an amazing time -the Segways are really easy to master and so much fun to ride. On perhaps the busiest tourist day of the year (July 4) the Capital Segway guides navigated us around crowded DC without fuss. If you think that a 12.5 mph ride couldn't possibly be fun, you've never ridden on a Segway. A truly great way to see the city and a bargain at twice the price. |

| I went on the tour on the 4th of July and had a great time. Since I am from the area, I was not really interested in the tour, but rather enjoyed riding the segways and seeing the buildings up close. The staff was very friendly, and it was neat getting the crowd's attention as we zoomed by. |
