| 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. |

| We, as a group could not stop talking about how much fun we had touring on a Segway.
It allowed us to go to places where a tour bus could not get to, plus it was easy to handle and provided a fun way to explore historical sites. it brought the child in all of us. |

| WOW - This this was a fun thing to do!
Blasting over the sidewalks of DC at more than 10 mph was worth the money, the tour and the tour guides were great too! I cant wait till my kids are 16 so I can do it again! |

| 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. |

| 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!!! |

| Excellent tour, fun and Karen was great!
The instruction before we left made me feel very comfortable and confident on my Segway. Was a fun was to travel and see the sites. I really liked that we had the ear pieces so we could learn about the various history and quirky stories about building and monuments that we went past. I notice the other Segway company didn't provide this. |
