My college age daughter was home for spring break and we had always wanted to ride Segways, so we decided to buy tickets and take the 2 hour tour. We chose this company because they offered headsets, do not artificially limit the speed of the Segways, and spend the whole 2 hours riding, with some short stops for photo ops.
Learning to ride was easy. They gave a short demo in the store and then made sure everyone knew the basics. Then we went across to the park for a little practice before heading out on the tour. Tyler and Jimmy were great tour guides. I've lived in the area for years, but I still learned quite a few fun facts. Having the headsets really made the tour as the guides could give non-stop commentary as we rode. We stopped a few places for photo ops and Tyler and Jimmy were more than willing to take photos of us in front of the various landmarks.
The Segways themselves seem very well maintained and I appreciated that we could go full throttle if we wanted.
Bottom line for me is this. The next time any guests come to town, I'm taking them on a Capital Segway tour. And if I find myself in another city that offers Capital Segway tours, I'm signing up on the spot. It's just that much fun |

Worst Tour Guide Ever - and time cut short

The tour guide was unprepared, unrehearsed, and gave no information about the sites or history. He simply pointed out the things we drove by such as "and there is the white house", I do NOT recommend these guys. They also cut the tour short by 20 minutes. We were ahead of schedule, so they just drove us back to the store.
I highly suggest going with ANOTHER company! Very disappointing. I liked the 2 hr tour, but because we did not get off but once, our feet were very sore. I SUGGEST going with the company that gives the 3 hr tours with more time! I could have given more information about the sites just reading the map! |

Our group had several out of own guests. Our tour guide, Tyler, made it a fun and educational tour for locals and out of town guests.. The pace was right on and we got to see and do everything that we wanted to do. The Segways added to that experience and were a piece of cake for us to master in minutes. By the first street of our tour, we all felt like old pros.
Highly recommend the tour - ask for Tyler! |

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, from the the learning in the park to the advice on the hotels and restaurants- The "W" was brilliant advice! Walking round in the afternoon and seeing other companies starting up look amateur in comparison- I was lucky to have picked you. ONly regret was it was 2 hours and not more. iwould have also have gone for a hire for the afternoon afterwards. Walking to the presidents monuments felt slow! |

The Segway tour was great! The guides were extremely knowledgeable about the city and the historic landmarks. They also made sure that we were all safe and were extremely supportive and patient with us as novice on the Segway! GREAT EXPERIENCE!! |

we booked the tour to suit a very tight schedule, and the team adjusted timings to suit us. The guide (Jimmy) was very knowledgeable and attentive and made it a great tour. They also helped us get transport to our train, when the tour was over. Finally we left a camera at the shop and they couriered it to us, allowing us to get on with our holidays. What a great team!!! |

After a few minutes of feeling a bit shaky, it was amazing how quickly our group of 5 learned how to control the Segways at both a snail's pace and at full speed. These machines are intuitive and way too cool. The instructor/tour guide was first rate.
Dress warmly - you'll basically be standing still for a few hours! We went when it was 40 degrees out - the sun helped a lot.
We are long-term DC area residents, so the explanation of buildings and monuments was not nearly as important to us as being able to cruise around on the Segways. But we certainly got to enjoy our wonderful DC in a new and unique way.
I give the experience and the organization my highest recommendation. |
