| We had a great time. The segways are SOOOO much fun and the staff was very helpful. The tour was less than two hours though, which left me a little disappointed. Nonetheless I would recommend this tour to anyone. |

| When looking for a fun group activity, I read the reviews for the Capitol Segway Tour and thought it might be fun. This tour was by far the highlight of our entire trip. You see so much while having fun getting from location to location. I would recommend the 9:30AM tour since there are fewer tourists to dodge and better photos ops with fewer people in the background. The segway is easy to use and great for adult. My hubby and I plan to look for segway tours in other cities now when we travel. |

| I'm a long time native of northern Virginia and have worked in downtown DC off and on for about the past 14-15 years. Over the past 7 years, I've worked as a contractor for a federal agency close to the Smithsonian / Washington Mall. For years, I've seen tourists on these Segway tours and always told myself, "one day I'm gonna try that."
On a Thursday evening (7:30pm), I organized an evening outing with co-workers and friends for a DC Segway Tour with Capital Segway. It was absolutely an unforgettable experience. Riding the Segway was so exhilirating to say the least. It provided so much mobility providing us the ability to cover so many sites in the alotted 2 hours. In various open areas, to include the White House, Freedom Plaza, and the Capitol to name a few, the tour guide allowed us to cut it lose. Nice thing they don't use governors/speed limiters in the Segways used at Capitol Segway - this allowed us to take these machines to it's top speed of 12.5 miles/hour. This is something I will definitely do again!!! |

| We had been looking forward to the experience for a long time and as it turned out,the wait was well worth it. I thought it would be much harder to learn to control but if you can think you can ride, that is all it takes. We didn't want to see the tour end. The tour guide Karen was the best, she helped make the tour interesting and fun. I will be back with my entire family. Thanks for a great time |

| Four 62 year olds took the Segway tour around DC and it was great fun. The guides were well informed and very professional. I would recommend this tour to folks of all ages. |

| If you're worried about riding a Segway, don't be. It's very easy to learn. And they give you a chance to practice in the park across the street before the tour gets underway. My wife was initially concerned but now we both look forward to other tours in DC and elsewhere on a Segway.
If you want a relatively quick outdoor tour of significant sites, this is the way to go. No hassles with traffic, parking or directions. You just follow the guide and go!
Our guide was informative about the city and its landmarks, patient with pedestrians who impeded our progress (and our desire to take the Segway up to the max speed!), knew how to get around road repairs and blocked routes, and got us back to our originating point right on time.
Great fun! You even become an attraction for other tourists who photograph and videotape you. We highly recommend it! |
