| We loved the Segways and got used to using them quickly. It was great fun seeing the sights. we had the evening tour, the night was beautiful and hardly anybody was around. We enjoyed every minute of it and certainly would consider segging again. |

| My husband and I enjoyed all the aspects of this experience. The training provided was quick, but, I always felt if I had not been comfortable more time would have been taken with me. I found It really simple to use the Segway and we had a good training ground in the park across from the office. We visited the office to be sure of the tour location, and I must recommend that step to other strangers to the area. Josh was very knowledgeable
and entertaining about the buildings and monuments, he and Adam were good at taking photos at various places and the whole experience was one I will be pleased to repeat. I now wish we had also done the night tour. Personnally I would like to rent segways and Josh to be our all day-guide to really wander all over the city. What about it?? Any longer tours possible in the future?? |

| Best part of DC trip was this segway tour. Very easy to learn to ride and a great way to see the city. Lots of jealous people watching us buzz by. Highly recommended. Staff were very friendly and helpful. |

| I live in Richmond and my friend lives in Ohio and we have tried to go to DC about 5 times but every time we go, something happens and he never actually gets to see the city. It has become a running joke. So as a surprise I booked this tour since I knew that he would like the combination of a new "toy" to play with and a tour of DC.
Booking online was easy, although time slots do fill up quickly, especially on the weekends. Because I live in Richmond, we were going to have to drive about 2hrs, so I booked a 9pm tour. I thought that this might be too late and worried that the guide would try to push us through since it was the last tour of the day. However, I had nothing to worry about. In fact the night time tour was actually quite nice. The crowds were minimal to non-existent, which made navigating on the segway much easier, with several points where we could run at full speed. Also, the monuments, museums, White House and Capital are all well lit at night which make for some gorgeous pictures. Another nice thing about the night time tour was the fact that the heat of the day is gone and there is usually a nice breeze.
The Segways were easy to use and once you got used to how to control them they were a lot of fun to ride! The first few minutes are a little nerve racking but that quickly goes away. That said, I don't know that I would recommend these for anyone who can't catch themselves if they fall off balance on solid ground. I partially took this tour as a test run for something to do with my mom who has extensive back problems. It would make me VERY nervous to put her on one of these. We did have a couple of tumbles on our tour, but they were all do to misuse of the Segway rather than a lack of training on the tour guides part. Most of the spills were because of people following another Segway too closely and not being able to stop in time, or from running one of the wheels into something, which will stop a Segway before you even realize whats happening.
The only reason that I gave the tour four stars instead of five is because of issues in scheduling. I booked the 9pm tour and the day before the tour they called to tell me I had to move it to the 6pm time due to weather (even though it says they run rain or shine). After a lot of back and forth calling I moved to the 6pm time only for them to tell me that they might cancel that one too and I should really schedule a Sat time (which was going to make me cancel a previous commitment). Then they called back and said my original time was once again available, but I should still consider a Sat time. In the end I stuck with my original time and called the day of to make sure it was still going on. I was told it was definitely going to run, so my friend and I drove up. We got to the store and found out there was actually still a possibility of canceling even though they didn't tell me that before I made the two hour drive. Thankfully the tour still ran and it went great! |

| What a blast! We would highly recommend the segway tour to anyone. With family in the DC area we have done every tourist activity multiple times and we were looking for something new and different and were not disappointed! |

| I found the company on the web and booked over the web too. All very easy to do. I just turned up at their easy to find store and they had my reservation. We had a good introduction on how to ride safely and practiced riding in the store and across the street in the little park before heading off to the first stop: the Whitehouse!
The tour takes in great places and our guide Will looked after everybody right throughout the tour. He is from DC so was very knowledgeable and good humoured.
There was never any rush to get back and end at the tour dead on 5 pm as scheduled. We had a small group so it was a very enjoyable experience and I didn't want to give the degway back!
I would definitely recommend Capital Segway to anyone looking to do this in DC.

| I was excited about the activity and it exceeded my expectations! The segways are a blast to ride, the tour guides were funny and comprehensive, and it a fun way to zip around the city. I would highly recommend the activity for both out of town tourists and those locals just looking for something fun and different to do. While it may seem a little pricey, it is definitely worth it! |

| This Segway tour is well worth the money. The ride on the Segway itself if amazing, not to mention the tour of pretty much the entire city. They are very easy to ride and the tour guide is extremely helpful. I would recommend this to everyone! |
