| 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! |

| I enjoyed the tour very much which was given by a young man who had just graduated from GWU. My only complaint would be that your organization be more cognizant of DC events that might impact the segway tour. Unbeknownst to the guides last Sunday morning, the DC triathalon was taking place. We had difficulty crossing intersections and were unable to see all the sights that were designated on the tour. Fortunately my guest thoroughly enjoyed the experience despite this oversight. Please check with DC Government website to avoid this problem. I would have been perfectly happy with a tour around Dupont, Embassy Row, etc. instead of the National Mall given the situation. Thanks again. |

| We had such a wonderful time and the tour guide (Aaron) was a lot of fun. We went on the evening tour at 9:30 and the sites were beautiful after dark. |

| My husband and I who live locally did the Segway tour and had a great time. A different activity for a fun date. They do not take long to learn and you will not want to give them back in the end! |

| 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! |

| My husband and I were visiting DC for a wedding and were invited to take the segway tour with other friends in town for the same event. My husband had never really been around DC, so was excited to go on a tour. I have spent more time in the city, but was excited about the unique way of getting around.
We loved every minute of our tour! At first, I was a bit nervous on the Segway. It takes a few minutes to get used to, but honestly, the more relaxed you are, the easier it is! We were zipping around the streets in no time! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that hasn't been around DC, and even for those that have! I would recommend the early Saturday morning tour, since there are fewer pedestrians. We had a blast and are still talking about it! |

| 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. |

| Yes, even people in their 60's can easily operate a Segway! It's great fun and a fast and relaxing way to see D.C.! My husband and I heartily recommend you try it. |
