| We spent 10 days in DC and went on a number of tours. This was by far the best. We were able to see the monuments up close and our guide was very knowledgable and personable. I would highly recommend this for everyone. It was a unique experience. I want one! |

| The Combination of seeing DC and riding the Segway was a thrill, I would enjoy a 3 hour tour that could take you to the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorial as well |

| We took the Sunday night Segway tour of Washington DC. This is our third Segway city tour and probably the best. Our guide Aaron did a great job. Segwaying at night was a little different but he allowed us the freedom to test the Segways and have some fun.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone! |

| The tour was terrific. It was a sunny afternoon so it was perfect to get around. Took my nephew out for his birthday and he thoroughly enjoyed it. I think he wants one. |

| Definitely a great, new experience and a lot of fun. Our tour guides were full of info and funny which made the experience that much better. The best part was at the very end of the tour when they let us "play" on the segway in an empty parking lot.
Was a little weary riding that thing through the streets of DC, but felt like a pro after about 10 minutes. |

| A group of us come to DC to run the Marine Corps Marathon each October. We arrive three days early to tour the sites and restaurants. In 2008 we signed up for the evening tour of DC - it was so much fun when we returned in 2009 we signed up for the same tour.
We found the evening tour to be very enjoyable. Hardly any foot traffic and very little vehicle traffic. This made for it being easy to maneuver the streets and to enjoy the ride without having to worry about being hit (or hitting someone).
What we learned in research: There is a competitive company to Capitol Segway, but we learned their segway units have a governor on them and this limits the fun. Segways are safe. If one has ever rode a bicycle (even if it was 40 years ago), you can be up and riding a segway in 4 minutes of practice - and you do get to practice with a trainer until you are ready (they don't want problems on the tour, so you aren't going until you are ready).
We learned with the 2009 tour, when a group signs up they can outline their own tour, and next year we will do a tour of Georgetown.
Our time schedule: We sit to eat dinner at Old Ebbitt's Grill (one of our favorite - make sure you make reservations a month in advance) two hours in advance, than walk three blocks to Segway. Before Old Ebbitt we did the Washington Monument this year, and a tour of the B&O Canal the prior year. The timing works out perfectly to enjoy Segway. And of course after the tour we walk a few blocks back to Old Ebbitt for dessert and drinks. |
