| This ride was a great way to get oriented to the city. The guides are great and the adventure is so much fun. I would love to have one of my own. I would recommend this to anyone! |

| It was a double bonus going on this tour -
having the opportunity to try out a Segway (when would I ever have another chance?)
and having the ability to cover an awful lot of sightseeing ground in 2 hours!
The tour guides instilled a lot of confidence in being able to handle the Segway
and they knew exactly where to take us for great photo ops! It was expensive,
but actually well worth the cost! |

| 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. |

| We are avid fans of segway tours and have been on this one last year.
Last experience was outstanding.
This time bitterly diappointing. Our guides were polite but unknowledgeable and unenthusiastic. Being nice just for the tips. I got the feeling they couldn't wait to
get the tour done.
I would not recommend this tour to anyone. Will go with a different segway company
as we will definitely be back to the area. |

| This made myvacation! I haven't had so much fun in a long time and I want to own a Segway!!! The tour operators were great and very knowledgable about the city. They had little known details that were entertaining as well as informative. |

| The new Segway is more intuitive to ride that earlier models, which I had the pleasure to ride a few years ago.
I would be interested in a Segway tour of foreign consulate facilities. Please consider a possible route in Washington that would visit the outside of a series of consulates as a possible new touring option. |

| I may be somewhat biased here, but I've been ( along with my 25 year old son) on a couple of Segway tours before, and I love riding these machines! They are the most fun I could imagine, and safe to ride plus extremely maneuverable. The tour was excellent, showed several prominent spots in DC, and was fun to be in a situation that was not overly controlled or restricted... I would highly recommend this activity for any fun loving person...! |

| My wife and I did the evening tour and thoroughly loved it! The monuments at night are completely different than in the day - the sidewalks are not crowded and you can zip along at top speed - our guide was full of great information and humor - and our whole group had a great time. Going up to the Capitol and White House at night was really nice. The segways were surprisingly easy to learn how to use - within 5 minutes, it was so intuitive that one didn't even have to think about how to drive it - it went where we wanted it to go. Highly recommended for both visitors to the city and for residents as well - it's a very different way to see the sights. Thanks much!! |
