| Having lived in the city for a number of years until 1989 I was familiar with the institutions, most of the history and the itinerary. Joined the tour more for the experience of riding the Segway than for the subject matter. But the kids kept it lively and even taught me a few things. This 2 hour (plus) activity is not a breeze for old people but a whole lot of fun for those with more guts than brains. |

| We saw the Segways zip by us as we walked around the Capital building right when we got to DC. We were trying to figure out what to do the next day and were realizing how spread out the sights are in this city, so the tour looked like the perfect intro to the nation's capital. It turns out it was the highlight of our visit. The tour guides had interesting info and stories about the places we went, and the ride itself was a blast. Because you are on your own wheels, you get the time to take photos if you want and to explore the general area as you go, instead of being trapped in a bus that moves on when the tour guide or traffic dictates. Learning to ride the Segway was easy thanks to the tour guide's clear instructions and individualized demonstration. Anybody can learn to ride a Segway, and within no time it's just a matter of thinking where you want to go, and you just go. We saw much more than we would have by walking, and it was a great overview of what there is to do in DC. I would highly recommend the Capital Segway tour to anyone heading to DC. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the ride. The guide, Chris, was knowledgeable and very willing to share information with us. We have already recommended this adventure to our friends locally.
Our only disappointment was that our ride was canceled because of predicted high winds, which did not materialize, and rescheduled for the end of the week. By that time we had already seen most of the stops many times over. However, just being able to ride the segways was great.
When we come back we are hopeful there will be another segway route which will give us another opportunity for a fantastic adventure. Thanks |

Our group was mixed family and friends ranging in age from 19 to 62 and we all had a great time. It was a wonderful group activity that also allowed us to be outside and tour our beautiful city -- covering a lot more ground than you would want to by walking and/or Metro.
We were amazed at how easy it was and after a very short time everyone in the group was comfortable riding their Segways.
Our guides, Erica and Will, were also terrific and flexible to the varied expectations of the various group members. |

| This tour was really fun, the Segways used were quite new and really easy to use after getting used it. The accompanying guides were great and knew a lot about the different sites we visited and were also helping, if somebody had a problem with his / her Segway or wanted a photo taken. But the best of the tour is clearly surfing through the city and seeing as much in 2 hours that you would not manage on feet or even by car, if you take into account the time it takes to find a parking. |

| Riding the Segweys was intuitive and very enjoyable. We enjoyed riding around to many different sites in Washington DC. I wish we had gone down around the memorials, but had an enjoyable time seeing the White House and Capitol building as well as many of the Smithsonians and various other sites. The guides had many interesting facts to share. Bring gloves if the weather is cooler. We were there on a 50 degree day and it got a little cool. |

| This was a really fun tour. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable about DC, the earphones were great to listen to him while on the Segs. We had a blast and plan to come back for another tour. This was recommended by my daughter who lives in DC and we were not disappointed. All of us had been to DC many times so this was a new adventure for this. No mechanical problems, beautiful weather...just awesome! |

| I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of DC on a segway. I was amazed at how quickly one adapts to riding it--it's so easy. The only problem I encountered was getting off of it--with practice, I'm sure that won't be a problem. I've already recommended this event to others. I'd do it again without reservations! Thanks for providing this activity. |
