Capital Segway

We really enjoyed our day in DC. Riding the Segway's added a great mix to our day of site seeing. I thought the tour guides were great, giving us just the right amount of "free time" to take pictures and ask questions. We were able to see a lot in two hours and then go back on foot to the places we really wanted to explore inside. Great day!!!

We thought the guide was very helpful and informative. He had a relaxed style that put everyone at ease. The segways were the perfect way to look around the capitol and Washington mall areas.

I've wanted to try a Segway for a longtime and this seemed like the way to do it. It's a little pricey, but reasonable for a one-time experience. The tour is well-organized and the tour guides were extremely professional and knowledgeable. It doesn't take an athelete or even someone physically-inclined to quickly get comfortable on these machines. With a short tutorial and training session we were on our way around the city. I was concerned about the radio intercoms between the guides and followers, but this system worked flawlessly. The whole thing seemed well-thought out and organized. Our tour was two-hours and that was a good length for this - remember, you're standing up the whole time. This was an outstanding way to see DC and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Went on the tour with a group of friends. We all had a great time. This activity was one of the highlights of our trip to DC. Our tour guides Aaron and Evan were informative, patient, and fun! Would highly recommend this tour!

Took the Segway tour of Paris in 2007. Was as delighted with the Washington tour! Alan and Aaron were A+ tour guides.

had a great time, took the evening tour to see all the buildings and monuments lit up, less crowded riding around, got to see everything in 2 hours that would have taken 2 days to walk.

It was our first time experiencing the Segway and we determined it to be great fun and certainly beat walking. Other than each side of the White House I can't think of anything tremendously awesome in regards to the tour itself, but doing it on the Segway was cool with many other site see'ers were looking at us and wishing they had done the same.

The staff at the Segway store put us seniors (63-74) at ease with their thorough training before practice in the adjacent park. By the time the tour ended we were cruising comfortably at near max speed on the DC streets. My wife complained that her helmet smelled like dirty hair, and her headset stopped working during the last half hour of the tour. On this warm September day I appreciated the provision of a chilled bottle of water. Scott, our guide, led our group of six with enthusiasm and humor. The stops were well timed. Scott provided good info about the sites and offered to take our pictures several times during this memorable excursion. Recreational bikers all, we agreed that this was the most fun we'd had in a long time.

We chose the late night evening tour 7:00pm, but I recommend to see the sights during the day not unless you have a camera that can be adjusted. You don't get to see the sights in their full beauty and definition. Getting around with the segway was a breeze. The staff was very helpful and considerate. They made sure you understood the safety and operation of the segways.. I would definitely do it again.

I thought it would be great to see DC at night; even yet on a Segway. I was curious to the fact of actually operating one of those things...and after a wonderful training class by Evan, it happened! It was great rolling around DC and having people take pictures, and stare at our group. What a WONDERFUL experience!!! I was so glad that I chose Captial Segway for this tour. The headsets worn during the tour while listening to the history of DC and gazing at the sunset really made things great. Thanks Evan for allowing us to take the long way back to headquarters; you really made our trip to DC special! I highly recommend taking the night tour, it's breathtaking!

I had a great time. The segway was a wonderful way to get around Washington DC and see some of the sites. I went on a night tour and our guide took us to some great places. What a fun time. Yes, I would definitely tell others to go and do this!

We both thoroughly enjoyed our tour on the segways. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone got their moneys worth. The tour guide was laid back and open to input if we needed to stop or take pictures. He even took group pictures (with our cameras) for us, that way no one was left out. He was a liscensed tour guide, so we got good information on the sites. The radio communication made that easier allowing us to maintain a speed each of us felt comfortable with and not have to be stacked on top of each other. We were grouped with another small family, so the size of the group was manageable. We recieved many looks of envy from other tourists and even some inquiries. It also made me feel better that they are a liscenced dealer for segway, so I knew our equipment was well maintained and safe! I definitely recommend this to anyone going to DC!!

I had my girlfriend and her friend in town from Philly and they are not the "site seeing, spend the day walking around in hot sun, and sweating type." This was a great way for me to show them the Capital and Mall area without hearing them complain. Also, riding the segways for a couple hours is worth the money alone. Two hours was plenty of time and no $500 deductible was needed!

It turned out even better than I thought it would be. Segways are really perfect for this particular kind of activity and they are very easy and intuitive to ride on. The tour was good and our guide was very knowledgeable. My only complaint was that the tour did not cover the portion of the mall that includes the reflecting pool and Lincoln memorial. I understand that Seqways are currently restricted from those areas and that they are working on changing that.

The Segway is easy to learn, the instructors make sure you are comfortable on it before starting out on the tour. The "practice" time is valuable to make you feel at ease outside the store. The guides are very knowledgeable and obviously know they have one of the best jobs around! They are vigilant of the tour group, one leads and one always follows the group which makes you feel secure that you won't get left behind. They give you time to have fun on the Segway as well as take you to places and tell you things you may not know about the sites. It was worth the price, easy to find location, and the guys were very personable. If you have ever wanted to try a Segway, and you want to see some sights in DC, then by all means do this tour with Captial Segway! Thanks guys - you're the best! The Drake Family.
