| The Capitol Segway tour was worth every penny. I had never been on a segway before and it was so much fun. The segway tour was the highlight of my trip to Washington D.C.! |

| We absolutely loved this!
Our guide was wonderful and took lots of time to take pictures of us and take us to good photo op spots. He knew a lot about the DC sites.
We are in our late thirties and had never ridden a Segway before. The training is brief and you feel comfortable on the Segway right away. They have a new version of the Segway where you just lean your body to control it - which is a lot easier that it sounds!
Standing on the Segway for all that time was no problem, because you are having so much fun. Besides, it's much easier on your legs than all of the walking required in DC! It was a breezy winter day and our group got really cold especially ears and hands, so I would recommend bundling up extra for the ride. Using the Segway with gloves is no problem, although taking pictures with gloves is another whole issue! The Segways have a little pack on the front for you to put your camera, etc. in, which was very convenient. One unexpected aspect was that you become a sight for other sightseeers - everyone looks at you and some take pictures of you. But that just added to the fun.
I would highly recommend this activity and I am planning to do a Segway tour in any other city I visit that offers one! |

| My husband and I were visiting DC for our honeymoon and decided to take the Segway Tour. We were the only two on the tour that day and it was great. It was January so a little cold, but not cold enough to take away from the fun. Karen was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable. My husband and I would recommend this tour to anyone and we now want to visit other cities and see them by Segway. |

| I enjoyed this tour of the National Mall on a Segway, especially as our guide understood we were there to have fun riding the machines as much as to hear about the buildings and notable sights. The team did a good job orienting us to the Segways and making sure we were comfortable before setting off on the ride. Overall, it was a great experience and one I'd recommend to locals and tourists alike. |

| We took the Segway tour before we did anything else in DC and were glad we did. First, Segways are fun, but also allowed us to see much more than we had planned during our entire trip. The benefit of getting all over the touristy parts of the city was that after the Segway tour, we really had a feel as to the layout of the various attractions. The tour truly did give us a feel for where things were and from the tour guides' suggestions, we were able to prioritize our trip better. This was well worth the cost! |

| We were a group of 5 ranging in age from 17 to 54, and we all had a great time on this tour. There are a lot of great picture opportunities, and you don't get tired like you do if you walk around DC. I'd definitely do it again. |

A fun way to see the city quickly!

| Thanks for this opportunity to say how much we enjoyed this tour of DC landmarks! I felt a little dubious and nervous at first as I'm not the world's best balancer but after a few minutes on the Segway I was away!!!!! What a hoot! It's the best fun I've had in a long time. My husband (52) and children (19 and 20) all want a Segway now and so do I! The guides were informative, very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. I shall certainly do this tour again with other visitors........but I may well just do it again for the fun of it! |

| The oppurtunity to ride a Segway is greatly appreciated. The tour itself while not all inclusive packs as much as I could ask for into two hours. But by far and away the very best part is the two tour guides ... their factual knowledge is outdone by only their bright and cheery dispositions. |
