See The City Tour - A Segway Tour of Washington DC

This really was a worthwhile activity! The staff were really really great, and the tour itself was so much fun. You're really able to go at your own speed, and beyond a helmet and a very good safety talk you are not babysat and your safety and the speed you go at is up to you. I really liked this. Loads of fun, I'd recommend it to anyone!

This was a very enjoyable activity. The tour was well done and entertaining and the addition of the novelty and downright fun of riding the Segway(s) made it one of the highlights of the trip.

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!!

The Segway tour of the DC Capital buildings was the right way to see all the monuments of DC. The Segways performed flawlessly, and the size of the group was ideal -- about a dozen or so. The guides were great at the logistics of threading the group through flocks of tourists and between clumps of traffic. However, as a tour of the monuments of the capital, the trip had some shortcomings. It was difficult to hear the guides because they had no amplification or speakers. With the traffic & tourist noises all around, you frequently couldn't hear their patter. The dialog was delivered with that '13th time today' lassitude that guides get after months of spewing the same patter with little variation. They were perfunctory, but not excited by the seeting or the history surrounding them. I'd still recommend the tour, especially if you haven't been on a Segway, and if you have the chance to follow up on the buildings of specific interest to you.

As a local, I didn't need the tourist facts although it seemed to be pretty well done. I went for the riding experience, which is a lot of fun. Only takes about 10 minutes to get reasonably comfortable, and by the end of the ride, I felt like an expert. Streets are pretty crowded at midday; evening might be better.

The most talked about and rewarding event that we did in DC!

Great tour and at night when the crowds aren't out gives plenty of space to enjoy the segway. Very fun.

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...!

I have lived near DC my whole life and have seen almost everything there is to see. The Segway tour was something completely new and exciting! Not only did I see some of the old favorites such as the White House and the Capitol, but there were also stops at new locations! The tour guides were fantastic! They knew quite a bit about the history of the city and plans for the future. Another bonus is that Capital Segway does not limit your speed. We flew past other tour companies and probably covered twice as many sites in the same time! Also, we learned how to ride the Segways inside rather than out on the street. Therefore, all our emabarrassing moments could be kept inside! I later saw other groups learning how to ride almost at the White House. By the time we set out on the tour, we were completely comfortable with Segway. I highly recommend this tour and the company! I plan on doing it again! Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes as you are pretty much standing for the entire tour!
