| 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 |

| EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SEGWAY TOUR WAS FUN AND APPROPRIATE, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. THE TOUR AND THE TOUR GUIDE WERE MOST ENJOYABLE AND INFORMATIVE. HOWEVER, I HAVE ONE MAJOR RESERVATION: THE ANIMATED VIDEO WE WERE SHOWN PRIOR TO OUR DEMONSTRATION LESSON SCARED ALL 4 OF US (ADULTS AGES 39 - 73) AND 3 OF US ALMOST TO THE POINT OF BACKING OUT OF OUR PLANS. WE WERE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT LEARNING AND TRYING THE SEGWAY AND TAKING THE TOUR UNTIL WE SAW THE VIDEO. I THINK IT IS UNNECESSARILY FRIGHTENING AND OFF-PUTTING. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO INSTRUCT AND ISSUE WARNINGS ABOUT POTENTIAL DANGERS, BUT THE VIDEO GOES FAR BEYOND WHAT IS NEEDED. IT WAS ONLY OUR DETERMINATION NOT TO DISAPPOINT EACH OTHER THAT KEPT US FROM QUITTING BEFORE WE BEGAN. I WOULD CERTAINLY SHOW AN INSTRUCTIONAL, INFORMATIVE VIDEO; HOWEVER, I WOULD SHOW ONE THAT IS MORE REASONABLE, FACTUAL OR TRUE TO LIFE, AND CERTAINLY NOT SO SCARY. THANK YOU FOR AN OVERALL VERY PLEASANT AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE AND FUN DAY. |

| Great fun. Quick instruction but the segways were intuitive to use after 5 minutes. A Sunday morning time slot meant less auto and pedestrian traffic, so there were lots of opportunities to go at full throttle. Terrific guides/leaders. We would recommend heartily. |

| Our group consisted of five members of our family, three brothers and two wives.
We are all well over 50 years old and were hoping that the Segway tour would work for everyone.
I read some reviews, from other groups taking the Segway tour and all were very positive. Needless to say, we were very excited.
Our Segway day was so much better than we had expected. The machines are very stable and easy to control. There is almost no learning curve. Within minutes our group was wheeling out the door and down the street, stopping, turning, crossing major intersections and maneuvering with great ease. After a short while it all become so comfortable that we could sightsee and take photos, all while moving.
We were outfitted with small receivers and earphones so everyone could hear the descriptions that our guide provided. He did a great job.
Our tour took us to most of the major attractions in DC. We could stop and take photos and were not required to stay in a line. Our freedom (and not a lot of rules) made it fun.
I would strongly recommend the Capitol Segway Tours. I doubt if we could have had a better time.
Thanks, again to Capitol Segway for giving us the best experience of our DC vacation.

| Night was a great time to go.
Guides were knowledgable and entertaining about DC, but I was having too much fun to listen to everything. |

| My husband who is 85 and I had the best experience on the tour. We never could have walked to see all these places. The tour guide Adam was great and we both had a fun tour of Washington that we will never forget. |

| Segway is a fun way to see a city. It is easy to learn and lots of fun once you have mastered it in less than a few minutes. Our guide Chris was excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. |

| This Segway tour was fun and free-wheeling. Our guide was enthusiastic and informative. We rode for the full 2 hours except for a couple of welcomed rest stops. Earlier this year my wife and I did Segway tours in San Antonio, San Francisco and San Diego. This Segway tour of Washington, DC, rates at the top of our 4 experiences for fun and riding time and freedom to enjoy the machine. This is a must do if you want to see major highlights of Washington, DC, and enjoy the Segway ride to the fullest. My daughter and son-in-law are visiting next month, and I plan to take them on this Segway tour.
The staff was very attentive and friendly. |

| I did enjoy this tour and it was well run. However I would say that dodging in and out of Washington DC traffic on 2 wheels is not for the faint of heart. If I had known how risky it would seem I would probably not have booked. Still, I'm glad I did. |
