Our family totally enjoyed our Segway experience! Nineteen year old son said the Segway tour was the best event of our DC vacation!

This was a work group event. The goal was to give a group of summer interns exposure to the city as their first mentor/mentee event. Everyone enjoyed the tour and it provided a different atmosphere for everyone to mingle and get to know one another.

Great tour. We were going to go on a bike tour whilst in Washington DC until we spotted the Segway tour at Capitol Hill so we went online to find out about it and are so glad we did! We've always wanted to try a Segway so we managed to sightsee and experience a Segway at the same time. Highly highly recommended!

Oh my gosh! I had read lots of reviews that really built up this Segway tour, so we weren't sure if it could really be all that good. BUT...it definitely was! Our guides, Aaron and Nick, helped everyone learn the basics of the Segway in the safe confines of their store, then we ventured to a small park across the street for some "real" practice. Even the people who were a little hesitant (like my wife) were like pros within just a few minutes...then off we went. WOW! How fun! Sure, we got to see some of the great sights in DC, and Aaron and Nick know a lot about the history of DC, but the best part was the riding around on these fantastic machines. You really feel like you're gliding through the streets and sidewalks, and you cover so much ground in this two-hour tour. Only one small negative...one of the guides, Nick, didn't seem to have as much "customer service" training as Aaron did. Aaron always made us feel comfortable and made sure we were having fun. Nick seemed to act a little more like it was just a job to him. But, please take that as a very minor glitch in what was otherwise a fantastic experience. Can't say enough great things about this. We didn't want to stop! Do it! We would definitely do this again.

My husband and I took the DC tour on July 4th. The intro to using the segways was thourough and informative. We found the machines to be really easy to navigate and a blast to ride on. I must admit we were disappointed that we didn't get to see a number of the itinerary sites (including Washington Monument, Smithsonian Castle, Botanic Gardens) but given the crowds in town on the 4th, and the parade closing certain streets the guides told us they weren't able to cover as much ground as they normally do. They didn't seem to have a planned route due to the parade, which I thought should have been well known and accounted for. None the less, the guides were friendly, informative and we wouldn't hesitate to tell our friends to take the tour (just not on a holiday)

this really was a great way to have fun and see the sights at the same time. The Segway was easy to use - I would recommend this tour and when I am next in DC, I am going to take another ride.

The guides were very patient and friendly. Their knowledge of the tour sites around DC were quite interesting as well as informative. I had the most fun I have ever had on a tour anywhere. It was awesome. Learning about the monuments, buildings, statues and all other landmarks while riding on a Segway, was just FUN! I told anyone who asked while we were riding, just how much fun it was. I could not stop smiling, it was just so entertaining. The guides not only gave us detailed information on how to safely ride a Segway, but made sure they covered all of the information about what sites we were seeing. Including the lesser know bits that may not have come out from some other tour. They even offered to take pictures of any of us at any time. That was a quick two hours. It was difficult to give it up. The tour was outstanding. We will go again and we will do the Segway tour again.
