| Best way to see almost all historical landmarks in the city. The learning curve to ride the segways takes just minutes to learn. |

| Even though the weather was far from perfect, we had a fantastic time.Noah was very informative and helped out any way he could. Great way to get an overview of attractions and then set the rest of your plans from there |

| Our Segway trip was a highlight of our trip. We got the quick view of the mall that provided context for that part of the trip. The guide (Karen) was very knowledgable and a lot of fun. And riding the Segway was a blast. Definitely going to do that again - just wish the tour was a bit longer. |

| I wanted to take this tour just because I had been curious about riding a Segway. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tour guides were extremely friendly, competent, and full of interesting facts. This was an amazing way to see the sites in DC, especially if you just want to get a quick overview of everything there is to see. I would recommend taking this tour as soon as you arrive in the DC area. The information in the tour can then be used to plan the rest of your trip as to which sites you are going to re-visit and spend more time at.
Riding the Segway is a blast! I will be taking this same tour again the next time I visit DC. |

I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

| The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. The length of time of the tour (two hours) was just about perfect because, candidly, our feet got tired. (We are two old guys!) Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience.
The two of us were in a large group, 16 I believe, and at times we got all strung out and some of us missed some of the narration at the stops.
Suggestions:
1) Break up the large groups in to two smaller ones leaving five minutes, or so, apart.
2) It would be nice if you could find a way to let everyone get off their Segways and walk around or sit for five minutes near the middle of the tour.
Finally,
3) I am a tour guide for the Voice of America (VOA) at 4th and Independence, SW. I would appreciate it if you would point out the VOA and give our VOA tours a plug. The cost is FREE and the tours are at 12:15 pm and 3:15 pm every business day. (No tours on the weekend or on federal holidays.)
Thanks,

| Forget the slow, endless walking tours, the Segway tours are the way to go. I took a group of three for a two hour tour and we all had a blast! The women in the group were a little nervous at first, but within 10 minutes thy were zipping around like they'd been born on a Segway.
The route is excellent, you cover all the main monuments and memorials. The Guide staff was very informative, helpful (w/ taking pictures), and entertaining.
I would insist that all my friends visiting DC do the Segway tour offered through Capital Segway. |
