| We chose the late night evening tour 7:00pm, but I recommend to see the sights during the day not unless you have a camera that can be adjusted. You don't get to see the sights in their full beauty and definition. Getting around with the segway was a breeze. The staff was very helpful and considerate. They made sure you understood the safety and operation of the segways.. I would definitely do it again. |

| I had my girlfriend and her friend in town from Philly and they are not the "site seeing, spend the day walking around in hot sun, and sweating type." This was a great way for me to show them the Capital and Mall area without hearing them complain. Also, riding the segways for a couple hours is worth the money alone. Two hours was plenty of time and no $500 deductible was needed! |

| We were encouraged to take the tour by some of our friends and from start to finish it was fun and informative. Our guide, Will, was very professional but at the same time made the entire tour fun. I've already recommended the tour to my co-workers and friends and will take the tour again when back in the DC area.

| I am 60 years old, consider myself generally uncoordinated and out of shape, and grew up outside D. C. and have seen it a million times -- all good reasons not to do this tour. But it was so much fun that I want to take every friend I have and do it again! Forget going into the boring old buildings and seeing pictures of people long gone -- zip through the streets and have strangers smile at you (or not -- they are probably jealous) while you are grooving along at 10 m.p.h. and feeling like you could take off and fly. Plus the tour guides have great stories to tell that I had never heard before (like why the Washington Monument was almost torn down before it was finished -- power plays -- the usual thing). It's really easy, promise! |

| I thought I would fall off and wouldn't be able to balance, but with a few instructions, we took off! I haven't had this much fun in ages and recommend it to anyone who has a tough time walking around seeing the monuments. The narration by the guys was very good and informative. Even things I didn't know after living for 5 years in the D.C. area. |

| Simply loved it! Would recommend to others. It's hot hot hot during the summer so a disclaimer to bring water would be my only recommendation. |

This is a *MUST DO* when visiting DC!

| The capital segway tour was excellent! I absolutely loved it and will always recommend it to others. The night tour is beautiful and great for taking pictures. The tour guides were very informative and super friendly. I really liked how they would look out for everyone's safety when we were near vehicles. I felt very safe and comfortable enough to ask them questions. I really liked that we all had our own audio receivers to be able to listen to our tour guides during the entire time. I did notice, during the tour we passed by another segway tour (not part of capital segway)that did not have the audio receivers and could not hear what their tour guides were saying. Needless to say, there was a lot of screaming and confusion in that tour group. I cannot say enough great things about Capital Segway tours. |

Anyone can do it!

| Do not hold back on taking the Segway tour of Washington, DC! Anyone can learn to ride a Segway in less than three minutes--the key insight? It balances you, you do not balance the Segway!
I held back because I am close to 70 years of age. Then I saw a lady who had ten or 15 years on me, happily cruising down the DC streets, so my wife and I gave it a try. We were up and going in less than three minutes. Now, I've taken four groups of friends and out-of-town visitors for their rides. It is as close to flying as you will ever get, while staying on the ground.
Two asides: 1) If you cannot stand for about two hours, with occasional rests to sit down, it is not for you, and 2) take an evening or late afternoon tour if possible.
Why? The tour guides are young and healthy and "party-hearty." For them, the day begins about 5 PM when they wake up. You'll get the same spiel on any trip, but the enthusiasm is definitely lacking in the morning and early afternoon. |
