| This was my third Segway tour, the first in the country, and by far the most enjoyable.
This tour provided many opportunities to enjoy the ride as well as see the sites.
You can cover so much more area in two hours then if you had to walk from place to place.
The tour guides looked out for our safety extremely well considering the number of D.C. streets we crossed.
I will definitely do another Segway tour...where to next? |

| We had a wonderful experience on our See the City Segway Tour in early October 2008.
The tour guides were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and certainly added to the success! Learning how easy it is to use a Segway was so much fun. We really were able to cover a lot of territory in a very short time on the Segways. The entertainment value of using the Segway was worth the cost of the whole tour! We had a great time. |

| The ride was fun (first-timer). And got to see a lot in 2 hours. The tour content was so-so, and didn't cover anything I didn't already know. Plus the $72 price tag is a bit steep. Overall I enjoyed the tour and would consider doing it again. |

| My girlfriend and I had our best date ever touring DC on the Segway! It was fun and exciting. Your tour guides were friendly, energetic, informative and funny!
We enjoyed everthing about your tour. We will definately do the tour again when we go back to DC, but we will do the day time tour next time! The segways are easy to learn how to drive....and once you get comfortable on them, all you want to do is GO, GO, GO ! ! ! ! ! ! |

| My nephew and his wife, from Oklahoma, came to Washington, D.C. for a visit. I reserved a segway tour for them as an anniversary gift. They loved it! My nephew said that this was an activity he would see other people do but never thought he would actually be the one doing it! Their evening segway tour was the highlight of their trip. |

| Being a local, I didn't know how much I would like the Segway Tour, but I was sure that my mother, who is from Illinois and my mother-in-law, from California would certainly like it. Well, not only did they like it, but I did too. The guide (Will) is very informative with his narrative... and, probably the most obvious from the start, is that the Segways are probably the most fun I've had in a long time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, young and old (My mother-in-law has a bad back, and she was fine throughout the tour) and tourists/locals alike. |

Nightime Segway Capital Tour (by Capital Segway)

| I highly recommend Capital Segway. It was a fantastic experience! We took the night tour and it was wonderful (less traffic and people to contend with).
There were about 10 people in that night group and only 1 had ever been on a Segway before. Capital Segway provided excellent training, practice sessions, and oversight. They helped each person individually. By the time we left the park after our practice sessions, everyone was zipping around with confidence and ease. They were very attentive to both the group and our needs/precautions. I say this because we came across another Segway group during the tour that gave me great pause (and gratitude that I had chosen Capital Segway).
Our night group actually had two small red flashing lights for each participant. One that was mounted on the front of the Segway and another that each participant clipped to their back (collar/pant, etc). This made a huge difference in both our ability to follow and see the group at night but also for our own safety and allowing cars and people to see us. Again, I say this as we came across another company's Segway tour in front of the Capital and they had ZERO lights. I could barely see them and there were a few feet away. Some of their tour participants came up to our group, lost because they couldn't find/see their own and they were just behind us in the dark. I thought, "How dangerous!" It was actually pretty irresponsible of that tour operator. It would be very easy to be hit by a car or something It made me glad that we had chosen Capital Segway and reinforced my opinion of their oversight. They would direct traffic when we went through intersections and always had a person leading and another bringing up the rear so that no one got too separated from the group.
The guides were fun and very informative. I would definitely do it again if/when I go back to DC! It was an absolute blast. I am also glad I chose the night time. With the buildings illuminated, we could still see everything but riding in the cool night air was fun. |

| The tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly and personable. Touring D.C. on a Segway is the only way to go. I highly recommend it. |
