Capital Segway

The highlight of our trip!

Max was a great tour guide. Very personable and knowlegable. The personal sound systems worked great allowing people to continue to ride the segway rather than group around for a lecture. Highly recommend CapSegway for their professionalism and fun time!

Will was a great tour guide, with lots of information about the city. This was the second time I've toured a major city on Segways. I absolutely LOVE them-even checked on buying a couple or putting in a business in my home city. They are so much fun and easy to adapt to. The traffic in DC was just a little daunting, but we managed it quite well and of course along mall area you can be out of the traffic zones. I would recommend a Segway tour to anyone. The orientation video makes it seem more complicated than it really is-sort of a CYA thing, so don't be intimidated. Riding a Segway is super easy and so much fun. Love it, love it, love it!!

This is one of the finest tours of this kind that I have been on. This company and the individual guide did an excellent job. i would highly recommend them to anyone.

This method was without a doubt the very best way to see a great deal of the important things in the city without wasting a lot of time. The activity itself was extraordinary. The Segway is unconditionally the most unique and comfortable way to travel. Given the opportunity I would choose this method of touring any city. As you may have guessed both my wife and I enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for the inventiveness.

If your going to sight see Washington DC, this is the BEST way to do it! Save your legs from all the walking. You can here your tour guide though audio. See and hear about all the great places up and down the streets of Washington DC.

Karen, our guide, was awesome! She provided great detail and as well as little known facts that made the trip even better. My only issue was that the headphones (great idea) tended to cut in and out as leader spoke. Made it hard to get all info. However great way to zoom around DC!

Great organization. Great guides. A little pricy, but worth it. Highly recommended!

We wanted to do something with our 17 year old son because he did not come to see much of DC with us and our 8 and 12 year old daughters. We thought the Segway tour at night was a great way to see DC at night - which we were told was a must do - and something a little more interesting for a teenager. It was perfect. Although we zipped right by a few places, it didn't matter because this was the last thing we did in DC. Wouldn't recommend doing a Segway at night when you first get there because you'd want to stop and look more than you're really able. The tour guide was very knowledgable and made it fun. I don't think you'd be able to zip around like we did if it was daytime, so that was an added thrill. I'll be looking for Segway tours for my next vacation.

First of all I was hesitant to do this because of the price. Afterward, I would shout from the rooftops to make people go. It was fun, well organized and just the best 2 hours of my 4 days in Washignton. That being said, there are a couple of things you could do to make it even more fun and memorable. First, take a tip from the Duck Tours and get some Segway whistles made you can give away. The one thing that was annoying was silently buzzing by pedestrians or being stopped by them. Several people in my group commented that the Segway should have a bike bell on it. We went one step further and said they should have whistles like the duck tours have to blow at people to move. It would also make a nice souvenir of the trip, is somethign pedestrians respond to more than "RIGHT" and should not cost much. Second, during the rest break, letting people have a little time to get a drink would be nice. I know you have to get a lot of sights in but by the end our entire group was just starving for a drink even tho our day was really nice for the tour. You don;t realize how hot it is when you are driving and it sneaks up on you when you stop. Third, offer more gift shop options for purchase than just one t-shirt. I would have bought a shirt, a mug, or something else that had Capital Segway on it if I had a choice. The red shirt was nice but just a little too promotional. A black t-shirt with the Segway logo and your phone number would have been nice. Or a coffee mug. Or a tumbler you could take with you on the tour with water. Finally, the tours should be an opportunity to turn Segway riders into Segway owners. Have a take away sheet with a list of Segway Dealers and other tours across the country so this doesn't turn into a one off experience. Ideally, offer a discount on a Segway purchase that refunds the user their tour fee. $70 off a $5400 piece of machinery is tiny but something that the person on the tour doesn't know when they see they could get their tour fee back. Hopefully this helps and feel free to contact me for more info and ideas. It really was a wonderful time.

We were so excited to go on this Segway tour and believe me, we were not disappointed. It was well organized and the Segways were new and well maintained. The tourguides were knowledgable and informative. They were very helpful in getting us settled and comfortable on the Segways as well. It just was such a great event - we would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

The segway was easy to operate and a whole lot more fun than walking, allowed you to see much more than you could see walking and pick out special places to visit and spend more time at. Guide was helpful and informative.

We loved this tour and our tour guide, Will. It was just the right amount of time (2 hours). Anything longer we would have gotten a bit tired and anything shorter would have left us wanting more. Keep in mind that if you are older or out of shape, this tour will tire you because you are standing and working your calf muscles for 2 straight hours. My wife was surprised and even a little taken aback when I told her I booked this tour, but by the end she was a complete fan and I was a hero for booking this totally cool, completely different type of tour. Will was very good about providing real historical details along our tour and he was always ready to take a photograph (good ones too!) if you wanted. I suggest you bring some water or grab a bottle of water in their office (they had a couple boxes sitting in the office, but they never offered it to any of the guests which was a bit strange).

Safe, entertaining, pleasant, unforgettable ride. Perfect to take pictures in a short time. Great couple of hours. I'll do it again if I go back. Totally recommended, no doubt about it. If I did it you can too.

This was my first time riding a segway. It was so much fun! It was easy to learn how to maneuver the segway even on the crowded streets and sidewalks. Our guide did a great job of making sure we were safe and confident. She also was very knowledgeable about the area. She shared many facts and stories- very interesting. I couldn't believe how much we were able to view in the two hours. There was time for a break and time for "free wheeling" at the end. I would recommend this activity to anyone visiting Washington. It was well worth the money.
