| What a great way to see DC. To ride on a Segway gives you such freedom as you get a general idea of the layout of the city. The tour gives you the overview you need to go back out on your own and visit the interiors of these sites at a later time. The tour personnel were very friendly. Although we did not get to visit every site, it was very entertaining. It sure beats sitting on some tour bus. |

Not very informative, but fun.

| I'm glad we took this tour. Riding the segway was a great experience, although more tiring than I anticipated - especially on the feet! I'm very glad we didn't sign up for the longer tour with another company.
The guides only provide a few comments at each stop, but they were interesting. We cruised around the city enough so that later when we returned on foot, we knew where we were. |

| This was my third Segway tour, the first in the country, and by far the most enjoyable.
This tour provided many opportunities to enjoy the ride as well as see the sites.
You can cover so much more area in two hours then if you had to walk from place to place.
The tour guides looked out for our safety extremely well considering the number of D.C. streets we crossed.
I will definitely do another Segway tour...where to next? |

| It'll be nice if the company can offer free beer/drinks after the tour. |

| The tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly and personable. Touring D.C. on a Segway is the only way to go. I highly recommend it. |

| These guys were the kindest, most professional tour guides I've ever encountered. They were knowledgeable, attentive, responsive, and such gentlemen. One of them even gave me his jacket after the sun went down, and it got cold. They had answers to all our questions, and took the time to answer them. I would highly recommend this tour. The sites were amazing, and the service was extraordinary! |

| I had a wonderful time on this tour. I was in Washington on business and had only evenings free. I took a trolley "monuments by moonlight" tour earlier in the week. This was a good tour. However, when I found out about the segway tour, I was very anxious to try it.
I had the usual fears, too old, too heavy, couldn't keep up etc. I was fearful that I would 'fail segway'. But I found it very easy to get used to the machine. I did find that my toes would go numb, but that must have been because I was using my feet exclusively, instead of the rest of my body weight to handle the segway. My only other minor problem was going down the ramps to cross the streets. However when I mentioned this to the guide he reminded me to keep my knees bent and I did not have any further concerns. My tour guide - Noah - was excellant!! He kept track of the group (luckily we had a small group - only 4 of us) very well and kept the speed consistant with the group's abilities. Noah also did a great job of informing the group about the various areas that we stopped at. His enthusiasm for the segway and the stops along the route was incredible.
I had asked my co-workers on the trip with me to join me for the segway, but no-one was interested. However the next day and then again this week back at the job, everyone is talking about my segway tour and wanting to know more about it. Jealous - hehehe
It was an awesome experience and one I would love to repeat again. It was the best tour I've ever taken. |

| The Segway tour of Washington DC was awesome! I enjoyed it so much I came back and did it again at the end of the day to see the city in lights. I would highly recommend this activity for all. It is easy to learn how to ride the Segway, and I am 64 years old! |

| This was a very unique way to see Washington DC. The Segways were fun and a great way to get around town. You were able to see most of the big attractions, get some pictures and learn about them. This is a great way to start your trip. You get a sense for the city and then can plan on which attractions you want to see more in depth later on. |
