| My husband and I took the Segway tour in celebration of my husband's 60th birthday. We were both being careful on our Segways but somehow my Segway got away from me, I fell backwards and broke my tail bone. Thank goodness I had a helmet on! We had a fun on the Segway tour but it was unfortunate that I will have at least 8 weeks of recovery. I wish I had known that the Segway has a mind of its own and that they are pretty dangerous. I would have tried to have been more careful (not sure how I could have been more careful though). I guess the waiver I signed at Capitol Tours puts all the medical bills on my shoulders. Ouch! |

| I did a segway tour in San Francisco last year, so I decided to give it a try again on my trip to DC. The training was quick and easy, the instructor was great - just the right amount of information about the city mixed with some dry humor. The pace was perfect. The great thing about this one versus San Francisco is the wireless earpiece - it made everything much easier. Also, the guide to participant ratio was excellent - they don't do more than 8 people to a guide. This is a must-do for teens through seniors. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!! |

| thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend time and again . . . agree with a reviewer who said 2 hours about right . . . though 3 sounds the better deal, unless you are accustomed to riding, there may well be a little muscular discomfort when finished . . . my lower back sore; however, I'm 57 and am sure that plays a part . . . still would have done again the next day . . . that much fun . . . saw many sites . . . covered a lot of ground w/o walking and getting on and off bus . . . |

| The most important aspect of CapSegway for us was the12.5 mph max. 6 mph would have sucked. With all the sights to see, the segway experience itself was the focus of my attention!! |

| A great way to get an overview of Washington D.C.
This should be the first thing you do and then you can decide afterwards which cites you'd like to go back to and explore further.
After walking around D.C. for two days I was so glad that we did the segway tour first, saved us hours of meaningless meandering.
Something you can't do everyday, great tour guides, fun machines, can't beat it! |

| Segway training and the tour was very easy to understand and fun.
Our guide was knowledgeable of the Segway and the city. I have been recommending this tour to everyone. I would do this tour again in DC and any other city we visit. |

| 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 really wanted to ride a Segway and this provided the perfect opportunity to learn to do that. Instruction is very relaxed, the guys are great and patient with new and inexperienced students like me. The outside practice in the park after initial instructions made me feel very comfortable on the Segway.
Then the tour began! Will, our guide, was great, very knowledgeable, had some great stories to tell about the sights we saw. He was also very funny, which helped since we were listening to him on our headphones for two hours! It was fantastic to whiz along the sidewalks and open plaza areas (especially around the White House) at top speed! I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the company! It was terribly hot the day I went, which cannot be predicted, but Will made sure the group had plenty of water and breaks because of the heat.
I would highly recommend this tour. |

| It's a pretty special experience to ride segway and sightsee D.C.
Although the tour it self is pretty brief. But the guide is friendy and well known about the city itself. The lesson before we start tour is also good. I like this trip. |
