I did a segway tour a few years back and this far surpassed it! Quick and easy check in and orientation. Tour covered pertinent sites and was more on the periphery of the city vs clustered among a lot of peds. James provided relevant details but didn't drone on yet was willing to answer if asked. Highly recommended!! |

This was a great tour! After a brief intro and training session in the office and a nearby park, we were all soon zooming around the city, which is breathtaking at night. Our guide was funny and encouraging, and we had no disasters or even minor snafus. This fun expedition was one of the highlights (if not THE highlight) of our visit. Highly recommended! Note: the tour does NOT go to the WWII, Vietnam or Lincoln Memorials. |

I really enjoyed the tour. My wife and a family friend joined me on this adventure. I was like you were floating around the city. People would stop and look at our grouup, wishig they were the ones on our magic carpets. I would recommend this to anyone. My son will be visiting the Washington DC next month and I told him he had to do this tour and he lived in the city for six years One fhe highlights of our stay in Washington DC. |

This was an intimate and fun way to see the city. We saw many monuments and other highlights. Our tour guide was very informative. It gave us an overall of the city and we experienced it close up. |

Half of our group are not 'walking enthusiasts' so the segway provided a way for us to see all the sights. We termed the segway as an 'equalizer' where everyone could travel at the same speed. And it was fun. your first doubts of being able to do it were erased after about 5 minutes. Not only were we able to go to most of the sights, but we had a lot of time to tool around. A word to describe it- fun. I would definitely recommend it. we are now looking for other cities that have segway tours. |

We, as a group could not stop talking about how much fun we had touring on a Segway.
It allowed us to go to places where a tour bus could not get to, plus it was easy to handle and provided a fun way to explore historical sites. it brought the child in all of us. |

WOW - This this was a fun thing to do!
Blasting over the sidewalks of DC at more than 10 mph was worth the money, the tour and the tour guides were great too! I cant wait till my kids are 16 so I can do it again! |

I'm a long time native of northern Virginia and have worked in downtown DC off and on for about the past 14-15 years. Over the past 7 years, I've worked as a contractor for a federal agency close to the Smithsonian / Washington Mall. For years, I've seen tourists on these Segway tours and always told myself, "one day I'm gonna try that."
On a Thursday evening (7:30pm), I organized an evening outing with co-workers and friends for a DC Segway Tour with Capital Segway. It was absolutely an unforgettable experience. Riding the Segway was so exhilirating to say the least. It provided so much mobility providing us the ability to cover so many sites in the alotted 2 hours. In various open areas, to include the White House, Freedom Plaza, and the Capitol to name a few, the tour guide allowed us to cut it lose. Nice thing they don't use governors/speed limiters in the Segways used at Capitol Segway - this allowed us to take these machines to it's top speed of 12.5 miles/hour. This is something I will definitely do again!!! |
