This tour was the best tour I have been on! I got to see a lot of Washington DC and learned about the local points of interest while having fun on the segway. It was interactive and educational. I would definately do it again and recommend it to anyone has has never done a Segway tour. The only complaint I have is some of the tour guides are more "in to it" than others which can make a difference in your experience. If one is upbeat and excited about the tour it gets you excited. If the other is monotone and appears to be bored than you too pick up on that vibe. |

We loved the Segway tour. The guides were very friendly and gave time to practice. We loved the wide open areas and the fact the Segways would go pretty fast. We were skeptical about the money at first, but it was well worth two hours on the Segway. I would highly recommend this to my firends and family. |

I really didn't know riding a segway would be so easy and fun. The ride itself is a blast, and the tour was an especially great way for our visiting friends to see the city. Would do it again in a minute. |

My fiance and I thought this was the best part of our trip to DC. The segways are a blast and in a city that requires a lot of walking, it helped save our feet which were sore from the 4 miles we walked the day before. The two guys that ran the tour were great, and actually knew stuff about what we were looking at, so that was cool too. Again, the segways are super fun! |

So much fun and the evening tour was the best. Cooler weather, the monuments were lit and beautiful, and the sidewalks were cleared of the usual pedestrian traffic.
The Segway was easy to ride an Aaron gave a great tour. |

A few co-workers and I from out of town were here for an orientation and we decided to take a tour of DC. We LOVED it!! The tour guides were knowledgeable and funny and the segways were a wonderful way to see such a large city in 2 hours. We went back to the office and told everyone they should try it and use this as a team-building exercise in the future!! I'll definitely do this again when we visit the DC area in the future!
Thanks!! |

It was a great activity, and much easier than what it looked like when we received the first training at the store. It is safe and the tour guides make it safer watching everybody all the time. |

We really enjoyed riding the segways throughout the city. However, we think the tour could use some improvement. Most of it was "here is this monument, here is this building, here are a few facts about these sites." Brief and incomplete would be the best words I would use to describe the tour. Moreover, due to traffic signals at the crosswalks, sometimes the tour guides would begin their spiel before everyone in the group (there were ten of us) would be at the same location as the tour guide. Not very cool for people in the back of the tour. So, if you are looking for a fun two hours riding around on a segway, then do this tour. If you want a more in depth tour, perhaps this is not your tour to take. |

The Segway experience was completely fantastic! I am a klutzy person but I had no trouble at all learning to use the Segway in less than 1 minute. This is an excellent way to see the DC historical sites without all that walking which just wears me out. It's also fun to watch people, watching you. I highly, highly recommend this tour. It's worth every cent, and more! Every time I go on vacation, I'm going to check whether there is a Segway tour at that location. It was awesome. Thanks for being the highlight of our stay!

I took my cousin on the segway tour and I had previously gone on the tour with my parents who begged to go on the segways. I think that is a great way to see some of the city. I am disappointed that your tour does not go by the supreme court, also it would be nice if you hit some of the monuments like Jefferson and Lincoln. The stories are pretty good for the sights, sometimes it is hard to hear the guide especially if your in the back of the line. The only negative are the homeless in the practice riding park area. |
