See The City Tour - A Segway Tour of Washington DC

This is the best way to see the site in a quick and painless way. Tour guide was great. Riding the segway was easy and a lot of fun

great time - went with my 70 yeard old parents so was naturally worried - impressed with the safety precautions and then we were off and zooming around DC. It was great. Highly recommended - and already planning another outing. Tour guides were great too! Zipping around on the segway is the best fun we had in a long time!

The Segway is a fantastic invention, but it is a potentially dangerous vehicle to the rider and obstacles. After ten minutes you can control the vehicle with subtle leaning and it feels intuitive. But when you are with novices someone can panic and the Segway misinterprets your intentions and goes.....instead of stopping. You should feel comfortable with stopping and turning before going out on the road.The most dangerous times are when you are with a group and some members are just learning, or after an hour on the Segway when drivers are comfortable and start to push the limits. Pedestrians don't realize that the drivers are novices and they don't show any caution when being approached by a Segway. I always felt in complete control, but other members of the group had some falls. It is important for the instructor to let you practice mounting and dismounting before you leave the store. You should get a feel for the Segway's movement tendencies when you are not holding it... it responds to shifts in the platform orientation so if you get off and don't support the handle it will go forward. I loved the experience, but I see the potential for accidents. The tour of DC is great.

While getting on the segway was fun and the spin around D.C. quite interesting, there was little in the way of actual explanation of sites and their significance. Tour guide (at end of the day) seemed tired and bored.

We had a wonderful time - the other person that was with me will be back on Friday with another group of people. Our tourguides, Antonio and Noah, were a lot of fun.

Absolutely a "must do" activity while visiting Washington D.C. This Segway Tour was the most enjoyable activity our family has done together in a long time. We saw all of Washington D.C. in two hours. Our guide took us to everything we wanted to see. No walking, reading maps, and trying to figure out where we're going next and how to get there. The Segway tour guides took care of everything and took the time to stop at each site and give us the history. FUN!FUN!FUN!

Was a great overview of where things were with the guides giving a bit of history. Was a great start to our stay in D.C. and beat walking to get to know where things were. We would highly recommend it!

My wife and I took several tours during our stay in D.C. Most of them were pretty decent, with one being terrible. My wife suggested the Segway tour and I was more than a little apprehensive about riding around on one of the segways. Once we got there and started the tour I was very happy that I went. Our tour guide Antonio was very knowledgeable of the area and really tried to make everyone have a great time. Something to note was that the weather wasn't great. It was cold and rainy, but that did not stop us from having the time of our lives. Thank you Capitol Segways. Great Job!!!

We went to college together 50 years ago, and live from Maine to Tennessee now. Five of us enjoyed 2 hours of smooth sailing around all the major sights in DC. We particularly enjoyed "racing" on Pennsylvania Ave. at 12 mph, and doing "slaloms" along a walkway lined with trees. Our leader said we were not wimpy as some half our age had been - getting tired legs, and wanting to quit. No accidents, no unexpected dismounts either! We would do it again in a heartbeat! Training was easy, practise around the fountain was perfect, and the excellent group photos taken by our guide have been sent everywhere by now.

Until now the only way to get a quick in-person tour of the Mall in DC has been on-foot (takes lots of time and wears out feet) or by tour bus (ride by and never stop or get on and off and spend a lot of time waiting for the next bus on the circuit). Now there is SEGWAY! Totally easy to use (takes 5 minutes practice in shop), fantastically mobile, more maneuverable than a bike, or car, or ANYTHING. The combined thrill of riding the SegWay and finding a way to do the whole mall without exhausting yourself - PRICELESS. This was a quality event from a quality outfit. I recommend it very highly.
