The Segway instruction was excellent and made the ride easy. It's a great way to cover a lot of ground relatively quickly. I had no problems with other pedestrians, the Segway is very maneuverable.
Our guide was very good and knowledgeable. I would have liked a longer tour, the tour was informative and a lot of fun! |

Had a 2 hour evening tour. Saw all the sights. Really enjoyed the ride and the tour. Was very fortunate that we got a private tour. Only the two of us. Strongly recommend. |

I took my father, uncle, and brother as a gift for Father's Day. The response from my dad was that "he felt like a kid again". We had a great time, and I would recommend this is a family outing, date, or teambuilding corporate exercise. Our instructor, Kyle, was enthusiastic and patient. |

It was great to see so many highlights of DC without having to walk the entire City, we even saw the Jefferson Memorial which is so out of the way.
Will definitely do again for a full day! |

There was very bad weather on my scheduled day, bu the company manager halped me find a guide that would come in in the morning to take me on an unscheduled tour which turned out to be a great experience. I tipped Will (my tour guide from Capital Segway) generously and would recommend this to anyone who wants to see a lot in a short time and then have their bearings for some self guided excursions of their own.
Great Experience! Great Company! Great City!

We had a great time seeing DC on the Segway. After the initial concern about learning how to use the Segway, our minds were put at ease by our tour captain, Alex. He was very patient and made sure we were all comfortable on our Segways before leaving the store. Thanks for a great time! We will definately do this again with others that come to visit. |

The Segway tour is a great way to get oriented to the city and have fun riding a segway. It is tough to learn a lot as you cannot hear the tour guide as you are 'segwaying' through. They should consider adding a microphone to the tour guide that allows him to talk to you from the front. Other than that the tour was great. We loved riding the segways and they were easy to use. |

This was a great experience. We did the guided Segway tour of DC but will be back to rent the Segways and do our own tour. |

I've wanted to ride a Segway since they were first introduced, so I was thrilled to find that one could tour DC on one! The folks at Capital Segway were very helpful and professional. Nice balance between traditional tour-guide information and just the general fun of zipping around on a Segway. If you're considering it, DO it. You'll be nervous for about 20 seconds; an hour later you'll be telling tourists what a great time you're having! |

Hi - We decided to take the Segway Tour since our nephew was visiting from Tennessee. I was quite nervous because I wasn't sure I could ride the thing, but it was not a problem at all. My husband and nephew had a wonderful time, and we could hardly get my newphew (who is 16) off the Segway when we returned to I Street. Our guide was excellent and well informed. He was constantly on the alert for problems we might be having, or that might come at us from some of the strange people we met, especially outside the White House. Many people were simply curious about the Segway. I must say that I didn't pay enough attention to the tour itself because I was so focused on the ride. |
