| The reason for taking the Segway tour centered more around the Segway itself than the actual sightseeing, as our family has resided in the Northern Virginia-DC area for a long time. However, we found both the Segway ride and the tour itself to be lots of fun. The training on the Segway was very well done...the description of what to expect was excellent, the in-store demonstration put most people at ease, and the confidence-building exercises were sufficient before actually going on tour.
Once "on the street" it took only a few minutes for the operation of the Segway to become intuitive, and it was entirely possible to enjoy the tour without having to concentrate too much on operation of the device. The big surprise (for me) was the patter of the tour guides. The informative, and at times slightly irreverant banter, was exactly right for people such as those in my familiar group, who are well familiar with the major attractions of the area. However, the historic information might not have been enough for first-time visitors to DC.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience that I will highly recommend to visitors, and hope to experience again myself. |

| Half of our group are not 'walking enthusiasts' so the segway provided a way for us to see all the sights. We termed the segway as an 'equalizer' where everyone could travel at the same speed. And it was fun. your first doubts of being able to do it were erased after about 5 minutes. Not only were we able to go to most of the sights, but we had a lot of time to tool around. A word to describe it- fun. I would definitely recommend it. we are now looking for other cities that have segway tours. |

| Our group consisted of 4; myself (age 53), my brother and my teenage niece and nephew. It took me about 10 minutes of practice in the store and in the park across from the store to get comfortable with the Segway and then we were off. We chose the 7:00 p.m. tour which was a great choice because their is less sidewalk congestion in the evening. Our guide, Noah, was professional and knowledgeable. In addition to the knowledge, it was just plain good fun. It is a little pricey, but worth every penny. It was the highlight of our 4 day Washington, D.C. trip. There is a short and necessary safety film and briefing. Bike helmets are mandatory for safety. If I go again, you can be sure I will take the Segway tour again with this company. |

| Segways are remarkable vehicles. Easy to drive, despite being very high tech. They're a good way to see Washington, DC. The tour guide was informative and I learned quite a few new things. The price was a little on the high side, and my back started to hurt a little toward the end, but other than that I had a very good time. |

| This tour was superb. The staff was a bit late getting started, but proved to be outstanding. Their instruction was personalized and expert. They had everyone, even older folks and some not so bright folks, up and running within 15-20 minutes.
Our guides, Adam and Noah were superb. Their knowledge of D.C. and of all of the buildings and local lore was first rate. They ensured safety of everyone in the group but left ample freedom for better riders to move about a bit on their own. The equipment was all first rate, including helments and earpieces for walkie talkie from the guides. Would do again, and use these guys over the other similar Segway tours in D.C. |

| "My son and I just arrived from our Washington DC trip and I have to say that one of the highlights of our trip was taking the Segway tour with Capital Segway. Our tour guide was Noah and he was awesome. He was friendly, funny, patient and very knowledgeable about the places we visited. I absolutely recommend this as part of your vacation in DC. The first day we arrived we walked everywhere and were totaly exhausted. The next day we did the Segway tour and what a relief. I just wish I could afford to buy a Segway. I would consider driving it to work since I only live about 3-4 miles from work.. Capital Segway and Noah "ROCK".. " |

| This is such a fun tour. The tour guides are so knowledge and fun. They took great care that everybody stayed together as a group and that there were no accidents. This is my second tour and I would most definitely do it again. |

| As first-timers to Washington, the Segway tour was a great introduction to the sights and sounds of the city. Both tour leaders were courteous, energetic, and kept the group safe at all crossings. My wife and I had never ridden a Segway before, but the instructions were excellent and everyone was given enough time to practice. The bikes have a zipper pouch in which you could place bottled water, rain gear, etc.
We had a great time.
P.S. The group leaders took pictures for everyone who needed photos. |

| Using the Segways was a blast. They were easy to use and so much fun. Also, the tour guide was wonderful, being both entertaining and patient. My friend (a visitor to D.C.) and I, enthusiastically recommend this experience, both for the fun of riding a Segway and getting an introduction to the Mall area. |
