Capital Segway

I wish the "tour" part had been a little more detailed... I understand that the format of the tour is limited, but more details as to what we were visiting would have been nice. It was hard to hear what the guide was saying unless right up front. All in all, a good time!!!

Having lived in the city for a number of years until 1989 I was familiar with the institutions, most of the history and the itinerary. Joined the tour more for the experience of riding the Segway than for the subject matter. But the kids kept it lively and even taught me a few things. This 2 hour (plus) activity is not a breeze for old people but a whole lot of fun for those with more guts than brains.

it was definitely a really fun way to get around the city. I'm not sure it's great as a tour because you are looking down a lot and not so much taking in the surroundings. however, the riding was so much fun i found myself wanting to hear less of the tour guides "tour" type stuff and just do more riding!

Young and old were on our tour. The guide's level of interaction was perfect -- shared some interesting facts about the city, but let us have time to fool around with the Segways. I was hesitant at first, but was able to pick it up quickly. Two hours is a perfect amount of time.

It was really a fun way to tour the city. On a nice sunny day such was the day I took a tour, there really is not better way to spend your day outside. What a wonderful way to get around the city and learn a lot about it as well. Wish I would have thought of the idea!!

This was a super activity. The company was very customer friendly and provided great instruction on the use of the segway. My wife and I felt very comfortable in operating the Segways after 10 minutes or less of "practice" time. This was a great way to see and hear about the Washington DC sites around the mall in 2 hours.

I would do this tour again--it was great!! It was a great way to see the highlights of Washington DC and so much easier than walkng. The tour guides did an excellent job putting us at ease (we were a little nervous at first) and it was just a fun, awesome experience!!!!! The next time I am in any city that offers these tours I will definitely do it! We would have done the tour again if time permitted but we had to catch a flight. I recommend this tour to anyone!

The main concern we had was with my wife...she was very fearful of riding on the segway. The personnel at Capital Segway spent time with her to get her used to the equipment and, when we went over to the park across the street, she became much more confident. By the end of the tour she was hoping that it could go on longer. In short, we had a blast and would highly recommend Capital Segway Tours to anyone who wants a fun way to tour Washington and have the time of their life.

We are avid fans of segway tours and have been on this one last year. Last experience was outstanding. This time bitterly diappointing. Our guides were polite but unknowledgeable and unenthusiastic. Being nice just for the tips. I got the feeling they couldn't wait to get the tour done. I would not recommend this tour to anyone. Will go with a different segway company as we will definitely be back to the area.

This is one tour and experience you have to take.

Dear sir/madam, My friend Chris and I had a wonderful time on the tour. We had two guides: Noah and some other guy (sorry btw!). Noah was very easy going and informative. It was impressive that the two worked together to make sure we were comfortable (e.g. one waiting/guiding at a curb to ensure that things went smooth). The other guy was very nice but didnt deliver his jokes very well. I could tell that he was trying hard but I think it felt "forced" and somehow subtracted something from the experience. Another thing is I wish we could have somehow seen the Lincoln Memorial (or maybe the tidal basin with the famous not-in-bloom cherry blossoms?). It seemed a little weird that it wasn't included. Finally, I wish there was a discount for groups. I would like to book the tour for my parents and brother when they come out to visit but $70 pp seems borderline expensive. It ALMOST makes be consider just looking into rentals as an alternative to dropping $300 in two hours. Thank you for providing such a fabulous experience! Sincerely, Sarah PS Noah is cute

We covered so much territory with wonderful in-depth info from our guides and terrific instructions and support on how to ride the seqways. All of our group enjoyed it very much ans would reccomend it most enthusiastically!

The tour guides were friendly, they explained everything and made sure we really had fun. i expected the tour to last a bit longer though. It was my first time riding a segway and it was a lot of fun. $65 is bit much for just ~ 2 hours though. $50 seems like a fair price. Overall it was a nice experience and highly recommended if you have not tried riding a segway before.

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. If you only have a day or two in DC this is a great way to get a look at all the major sights. It's going to be mostly about the ride for everyone else. Segways rule.

We love segways - and we have toured Venice Beach, Santa Monica, San Diego, Epcot in Florida, Toronto, and now Washington DC, on them. They are so futuristic - can't understand why the whole world hasn't embraced these as a logical form of transportation. The tour on a segway allows you to travel farther distances than if you were walking, yet gives you the up close and personal view that you get from a walking tour. The guides are knowledgable, and FUN, giving lots of freedom to the rider. We also enjoyed becoming somewhat of a tourist attraction ourselves..... All in all, an absolutely fabulous way to do a quick tour of the highlights of the area, giving us a chance to see which spots would be worth a longer and more dedicated visit. I highly recommend it to everyone, of every age, and we are looking forward to our next holiday segway tour.......
