See The City Tour - A Segway Tour of Washington DC

Great way to get around the city , these things are great fun easy to handle after a few lessons and you feel perfectly safe. The ear piece monitoring and commentary makes it good also you just don't ride around blind to the sites not understanding what they are. We would highly recommend it..

From the welcome to the end of the tour, the crew was super attentive and made sure everyone was looked after, regardless of age, gender, group, etc.. Tyler - was fantastic. You can tell that your safety is a priority and that helps you relax and enjoy the ride.

We just had a wonderful time riding along seeing the sights. We had never ridden a Segway before but they are really quite easy to learn to operate. The tour guides were very helpful and informative, and a lot of fun! We would certainly recommend them to everyone. One of our party didn't feel comfortable getting on one and Capital Segway was nice enough to refund her ticket price which was very much appreciated.

Best way to see the monuments in my opinion. Lots of time on the Segways, perfect amount of time at the sites. Guide was great. Do not hesitate to give Capital Segway a try!

A group of us recently surprised a family member with a segway tour of the city. The guides were so fun and knowledgeable about the city; they were extremely patient with the entire group because not everyone immediately got the hang of the Segway. The tour was very organized and in sequence; we took about two breaks which were in perfect settings to get gorgeous site pictures as well as group pictures. Quotes directly from the birthday lady "not sure how I'll top this birthday!". It was an unbelievable experience, good times and a good memory for the entire co-ed group!

I highly recommend Capital Segways tour of Washington D.C.! My wife and I took the tour on May 18, 2012, with guides Matt and Andy and had a blast. Learning to use the Segway was incredibly simple and my wife was laughing and "segwaying" with confidence in under 2 minutes. It's a great way to get your bearings in the city and see some of the highlights before, or even after, starting your visit. The one-way radio the guides use (you wear a credit card sized receiver with a single earbud to listen) means you hear every word of the tour without worrying about being right next to the guide. The other tour operators don't provide this service and it makes all the difference! The Segways are so easy to use and they allow you to see in 2 hours, in style and comfort, what would take at least a day on foot. Taking this tour at the start of our visit was one of the highlights of our trip, if not the best part, we can't recommend it enough!

Fun

The 2 hour tour is great, we arrived that morning on a red-eye and it was an easy way to get your bearings when first arriving in town. The tour guides were excellent (I think one was Mark, but cant remember the other one's name who was actually a bit better). The tour does not include war memorials, but those are better to see on foot anyway. The headsets they give you are a huge advantage, and I would not take any segway tour that does not use them. The only negative with Capital was that they called us 24 hours before our tour to let us know that the tour time was switched from 2:00 to 3:00. I was slightly irritated and we had to change some plans around, but I figured they didn't have enough people for the 2:00 tour. Once we arrived I found out that they somehow overbooked the 2:00 tour and bumped us to the 3:00 tour. They need to improve upon their reservation system to avoid this. There is a reason people reserve for a specific time and they should honor that or make some type of offer for changing it.

The tour was hosted by a great guide, very competent at both teaching me to use the segway (first timer) and actually being a tour guide. He clearly took the ability of the group into account and catered for our needs. I was in a group of 6 and we were all pretty good straight off, so we did more than normal on the tour, took in a few extra sights, and nobody had any problems. Washington was a really good place to segway too, nice broad streets and places to stop and hear about the sights. The use of headphones was also an act of genius, could always hear the guide, even if you lagged behind looking at something of interest. Heartily recommend.

Focus on the fun of rideing a segway combined with some sight seeing
