| This is the best way to get to see the major sights up close in only 2 hours. The guides were fun, helpful and informative. Anyone can do this, I am 62. The next time I am in DC I will do it again! |

| This tour was fabulous!!
I had never ridden a Segway before, had always been curious, and decided that a Segway tour would be the best way to kill two birds with one stone.
I can not recommend this tour more! Riding the Segways was very fun and the instructors were very pleasant.
The tour itself was a little flimsy, but it was sufficient. I think everyone on the tour was way more interested in ziping around on the Segway's than listening to a history lecture on Washington, DC anyway.
On the other hand, we were able to really get the lay of the land traveling throughout the city as efficiently as one might in a car, but with the ability to move in and out of tourist zones like pedestrians.
Basically this tour is awesome, the Segways are super fun, you have the opportunity to check out most of DC (the main tourist drags anyway) and I think everyone in my group was more than satisfied with the experience. |

| The Segway was a great way to see the highlights of Washington D.C. It was easy to learn to ride and control the Segway.
It would be nice if you offered 2 different types of tours. One that is for folks wanting to ride the segway and also listen to the tour guide tell interesting facts and history.
The other tour would be for folks only interested in riding and hotdoging on the segway.
Unfortunately, our tour group had several people only interested in hotdoging on the segway. They were very impolite to the tour guide and people on tour that wanted to hear and enjoy the facts about monuments and Whitehouse. |

| This was my first time on a Segway, didn't expect that I can handle it comfortable in 5 minutes. Touring DC on Segway was an amazing experience. The Segway Guide did a great job in coaching, guiding us along the way and gave us good briefing about the scenic spots we travelled through. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends. |

| This tour is a fun overview of the DC sights and buildings. It is a good introduction to the area layout, and provides some good leads on what to see more of on foot. The Segway itself is a blast to ride, and the new models with the tiller steering are very easy to control. |

| While having great fun riding the Segway the tour also provides a lot of value by providing a good overview of "The Mall". Investing 2 hours helps to identify the things you want to see in more details. This is in particular useful for first-time visitors. In this case do the tour early in the day.
For repeat visitors it is a new way of looking at the city. So there is good value for them as well.
The price (US$65 per person) is reasonable.
Bottom line: Strongly recommended! |

Easy to use, but wear supportive shoes

| It was definitely enjoyable cruising around DC, drawing stares and relishing the blessing of not needing to walk the tour. Our guide admitted herself that she was new to the city and even though her cache of capital trivia was far from off-putting, I really only recommend the tour to try out the ridiculously easy and fun to use segway. It was easy to grow comfortable using them, given the instructor's patient and experienced guidance. I think my only suggestion is to wear a supportive shoe when you're using segways--I have collapsed arches and painful bunions, so while the segways were a joy to use, standing for two hours became considerably uncomfortable for me. |

| Great tour - knowledgable guides and they were very attentive to people who were squeamish about the Segueways. Even the telephone rep was pleasant - even after I gave him a hard time about giving certain information over the telephone. I would highly recommend the tour. Oh, and I was on the tour ona Saturday night - a night tour - which I did not see listed on the flyer. I would highly recommend the night tour - less heat, traffic and pedestrians! |
