Capital Segway

It was a real enjoyable evening. Jimmy....one of our tour guides was great and really provided some great information. I would recommend this to others and plan to take a segway tour in other cities that offer them!

Fabulous activity run by professionals from an ideal location. Do not miss.

CapSegway provided thourough training in how to use the Segway and we were allowed plenty of time to practice before we went out into the city. The tour guide provided a lot of commentary on the sights we saw and customized it to the group that he had that day. I was there with a friend and it was a blast! I would do it again in a hearbeat!

It was a little bit difficult for me to adapt to not moving my feet for an hour at a time, but it became better with time. The guides are really great people, and the two hours flies by.

We loved the tour by Joe of Capital Segway! He taught us how to use the machine and pointed out all the sites so that we could return to the items of interest at a later time. One piece of advice: Bring a spare pair of shoes for afterwards! Just like in hiking, you use muscles on the bottom of your feet that will appreciate a different set of shoes at the end! Also drink plenty of water beforehand if touring in the heat of DC (for weather wimps like us from Seattle!). Highly recommend Capital Segway and Joe!

wow, been to DC a number of times and this was by far the best time. The Segway tour was incredible, it was just perfect. My group still hasn't stopped talking about it, a week later. The professionalism of the tour guides Tyler and Jimmy was exactly what everyone needed. They made the tour. Very knowledgable and personable. They are a true asset to the company. The tour itself moved along at a great pace and was very informative. i would strongly urge everyone to go on this tour.

This tour was great. Our tour director was both humorous and informative. I took this tour to get an idea of what I wanted to see in Washington with the limited time I had. The segway was a great way to do that. I would recommend this to everyone.

This was great and our guide was excellant and well informed. Most fun we had while in Washington, DC.

Would highly recommend to anyone coming to DC. Instructors were very helpful and friendly, everyone quickly felt at ease on the segways, the practice area at the park across the street was a nice touch. This tour provides a great introduction to the monuments and important people in history. The instructors were hilarious and kept us laughing the whole trip! We brought our own earphones and could hear the instructors very clearly, would recommend this as well. Thanks John and Justin for a great time.

Loved being able to quickly see many of the highlights of downtown DC! Guide gave interesting information at each site. Segway's were fun and I caught on quickly! It was great and would recommend this group highly!

We had a group of 5 people meeting in Washington DC on Sunday, July 1. Three of us drove in from Indianapolis, and two were going to drive up from Patuxent River MD Sunday morning to meet us. We planned our visit with the Segway tour being central to our visit, making reservations weeks ahead. Three persons in our group had never been to DC, and this would be a quick intro. The three of us from Indianapolis left at 5:00am on June 30, and arrived in DC late afternoon. We started seeing limbs down, traffic lights out, and lines at gas stations. When we arrived to check in at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, the power was completely out and they could not get us another hotel in DC. They suggested that we try Richmond or further out, and being ethical offered us a full refund on our reservations. We started to hear that 1 to 2 million people were without power. We decided to stay with relatives in Pax River, and had to drive through many areas of DC with traffic lights out. We called about our Segway reservations on our way to Pax River, at 1-800-979-3370, and they told us they only book reservations. They suggested we call 202-682-1980, but no one answered the phone and the phone did not go to an answering machine. We did not know if the Segway tour was even open, since the power was out in many areas of DC. We decided not to attempt to go back to DC for safety reasons, because of the power and traffic light outages. I e-mailed steven@capitalsegway.com on the morning of July 1, in an attempt to explain the situation. Steve Orr replied on July 2, saying that the Segways were up and running on July 1. A second issue with the advanced reservations is the discount for military. We have non-refundable tickets, that did not have the military discount for our nephew that is LT at Pax River. We assumed that the discount would be given when we checked in for the tour. Not only does he lose out on the Segway tour, but he gets stiffed for another $5 or so because he can't get to DC after the major storm. Sometimes there is a fine line when deciding what is ethical or not. I fully understand that the Segway Tour needs to insure people show up, but do you stick them when there is a natural disaster? I also understand that my only recourse is to warn everyone I possibly can regarding this policy. I work for a large military prime contractor, and my nephew is in the Navy. Hopefully, we can get some satisfaction by telling scores of people not to make reservaitons with unethical companies such as this.

I would suggest anyone to do this. Saw the sites very quickly but nicely, in a very hot day. Great idea.

John was our tour guide and was very funny and informative. I would recommend for anyone visiting or who wants a fun way to see the city and learn more about its history.

Two hour tour of DC area hitting all of the highlights in the evening. Remarkably easy and quick learning curve to use the Segways.
