| A super two hour adventure of history, play, fellowship and fun. The leadership was a great balance of safe but challenging. I did the segway in Richmond VA but it was not near the fun. |

| I live not too far from DC and know quite a bit about it. However, I have never seen DC like this and I can't describe how great the experience was. Segwaying is easier than I thought, the guides were terific and I learned a few things I did not already know. I would recommed to anyone....especially long time DC residents. You don't konw what you have missed! |

| it is a very nice experience and it realy worths the price asked. Be aware that riding a segway it is easy but could be dangerous. The rental guys and the guide will provide you with all the necessary advices. Follow their instructions. |

| My fiance and I had pretty high expectations after reading the glowing reviews on zerve. Most of them are so good, part of me worried they were fake reviews posted by employees. Luckily, all the hype is true- we had a great time. Its amazing how much ground you cover, from the white house to the capitol building, and everything in between, although the segways are so fun you may end up not paying much attention to the sights.
Our tour started around 7pm, which was cool because we didnt have to deal with much pedestrian traffic. I had a hard time going up and down curbs at first, but by the end, I was racing around like crazy and did NOT want it to end. We even debated doing the tour again a couple days later, just to get more segway time in.
The only complaint I can think of was that the guide delivered his speeches in sort of a bored, monotone voice. He didnt seem very interested in the sites and his speeches themselves were so-so. Besides that he was very helpful and made us feel safe on the sometimes intimidating segways.
Very Highly recommended. Unforgettable time. |

| A great experience. I would find going with large groups less exciting because that would be too much waiting for others, etc. However, this is a great time, a fun way to cover a ton of ground, and get the inside scoop on the city. The guide was very good. I will be coming back next fall with my family and will definitely use Capital Segway again. I will probably pay a little extra for a private tour ... |

| The tour using Segways was great. We totally enjoyed it! But… I felt that there could have been additional sites or buildings included in the tour such as the Lincoln Memorial. Our only complaint is regarding our tour guide. We were with a young couple from the Philippines and our guide didn’t really explain things in a way they would understand the significance of some of the things we were seeing. For example, when talking about Ford’s Theater, he didn’t make it all clear what the significance of the theater was or even mention who was assassinated there. I think he just assumed we all knew. The other couple didn’t know. Another problem we had was that the guide wore his headset/microphone around his neck rather than on his head so when he turned his head to the side, away from his mic, we weren’t able to hear what he was saying. We told him more than once about that problem but he didn’t correct it. Again, overall, we really enjoyed the Segways and tour and would even do it again. |

| This Segway tour was fun and free-wheeling. Our guide was enthusiastic and informative. We rode for the full 2 hours except for a couple of welcomed rest stops. Earlier this year my wife and I did Segway tours in San Antonio, San Francisco and San Diego. This Segway tour of Washington, DC, rates at the top of our 4 experiences for fun and riding time and freedom to enjoy the machine. This is a must do if you want to see major highlights of Washington, DC, and enjoy the Segway ride to the fullest. My daughter and son-in-law are visiting next month, and I plan to take them on this Segway tour.
The staff was very attentive and friendly. |

| The instructor was very patient with each person learning to use a Segway even though it was pretty easy to pickup. They gave us plenty of practice time in the park across from the store and then we were off. What a great adventure! A wonderful way to see the sights and have lots of fun. I'm going to look for Segway tours in the cities I visit on vacation. |
