| 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. |

| I booked with Capital Segway because
(1) they had more time slots than the others
(2) they don't restrict the speed
(3) the biggest reason is that each of us had wireless headset so we could hear our tour guide regardless of whether we were stopped at an interesting site or cruising along a path. This allowed him to provide more narration and information without having to be turning your head to attempt to listen the guide. This is very important when you're trying to drive a Segway and listen at the same time. It gives you the ability to focus on where your going and the surroundings all the while clearly hearing the insight about the area/attractions. |

| Aaron was an amazing tour guide. We had a wonderful time. The Segways don't take long to master. Recommend going on the tour as soon as you get in town so you know what to go back and see during your stay! |

| The tour guide that we had on the 7th of july at 11am was great His name was noah and he was very knowledgeable and answered all questions well. Howe
However we were told 3 separate times that we were going to see the war memorials when we were calling to ask questions. While we were on our tour I asked when we were going see the war memorials. Our tour guide told us that the park service does not allow segways on the grounds. We had specifically. Not gone to the memorials because we were told it was on the tour. We did not have time to go and see them after the tour that day. When we got back to the store the owner asked me how I enjoyed my tour. I told him that I was disappointed because I was told that we were going to the war memorials. He responded by telling me that I could walk there. For this reason if someone asks what they should do while in dc I will recommend a segway tour just not with your company. |

| I took my 18 year old grandson on the tour and it was awesome! The Segways are easy to learn and end up being very intuitive. If you can stand up you can do this. It is a great way to be introduced to the DC area. The tour guide is quite knowledgeable and provides great information as well as plenty of opportunities to just ride the Segway - after all that is one of the reasons that you take the tour. Anyone should be able to do this if they simply remove any doubts in their mind. The introduction is clear and the guide is more than helpful getting you used to the machine. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone. |

| Our Capitol Segway Washington DC city tour was fantastic. The entire operation from beginning to end was very professionally run, with safety and fun the focus. This is without a doubt the best way to see so much of this great city in a 2 hour tour. We were able to hear our leader/tour guide throughout the event using wireless earpieces. She was very knowledgeable and seemed to be having as much fun as we had.
We had never used Segways before, but after about 5 minutes felt completely comfortable and confident. The Segways are a blast to ride.
Make sure you use this company and not the others that also provide Segway tours. The main reasons are 1)the wireless earpiece to hear the tour guide (we passed a group from another company that doesn't use microphones and earpieces, and their tour guide was shouting to be heard) and 2) this company doesn't use speed limiters on their Segways enabling you to go the full 12.5 MPH that the Segway was designed to go (believe me, you'll enjoy going fast some of the time, it's great fun).
Overall, this tour far exceeded my high expectations and I would recommend it to anyone. One note of caution, the Segway is operated while standing, and this is a two hour tour. We took several breaks during the tour and got off the Segways to stretch our legs. But if you have trouble standing for periods at a time, this may not be for you. Otherwise, have a ball!! |

| The Segway tour provided tons of site seeing without having to walk around all day! The Segway itself was really fun to ride. Our tour guide was very friendly and enthusiastic about the city and its history. I would highly recommend this tour! |

| This was a very fun activity. You kind of feel like a kid again riding on the segways and the scenery combined with the historical commentary was excellent.
To visitors of the area I would suggest taking the segway tour on the first day of your trip, because the information provided along the tour really helps you have an idea of what else you'd like to see while on your visit. |
