Capital Segway

Segways are awesome, end of topic. The tour was great, and I learned some cool facts along the way. It was great to see all of the cool parts of DC without the tired legs. Our tour guide was really cool, easy-going, and informative and the Segways were top-notch. My parents (55) and I had a blast and would definitely do it again. I want a segway...

My two friends and I were new to Segways, but riding them soon seemed very intuitive and we loved them. It seems they were quite a good way to cover lots of ground, getting an outdoor overview of the National Mall on a good-weather day. The safety video beforehand was sort of confusing, but one of the Guides helped in putting it into perspective. Having a headset (actually a single earphone) was really useful rather than if we had had to stop and gather around the Guide to hear. The three of us were part of a group of maybe 15 people on the tour. If I fell to the back of the pack, the wireless communication was sometimes spotty, so I avoided the back and was OK. There were two guides, one in front who was doing the talking, and the other in back just to bring up the rear and make sure everyone was OK. Half way through, the two guides traded positions. The second-half front-guide was much more enthusiastic and (to me) interesting than the first one, who may have been doing this too long or maybe just had a not-so-great day, but at the end of the day we tipped them an amount to share. The tour was supposed to be 2 hours but we got a late start due to some of the group arriving late and then needing instruction/orientation; and the tour finished about 15 minutes early; so I'd say we only got about 1.5+ hours in, and about 15 minutes of that was practice-riding in an outdoor square. And another 10-15 minutes was stopped for a break for those who wanted to buy food/etc.. I would have liked to have the whole 2 hours, and to have had some more detail on the tour part of the experience -- but probably due to novelty, much of the experience & discussion were oriented toward the Segway riding. All in all my friends and I are very glad we did it, and we enjoyed & learned a whole lot about Segways and learned pretty much about DC.

We scheduled a few weeks before our arrival in DC...unfortunately, the day we were scheduled for was cold, windy and miserable. Rick started calling us to reschedule the day before and went out of his way to make sure we were able to fit the Segway Tour into our plans. My only complaint is that my husband's headphones only worked intermittently, so he wasn't able to hear all of the guides comments...but he still had a great time riding the Segway around DC.

this was a really good way to cover lots of ground in a short time. our guide was fantastic. made us feel safe as we segwayed down the middle of streets and also was very knowledgable of the sights we wanted to see. dress for the weather- we didnt- our fault.

My husband, my two adult children, and I wanted to experience Segway's and Washington DC and this was a great way to do both. Covered lots of tourist hot spots primarily on the Mall, and our tour guide shared other interesting facts along the way. The Segway's are easy to ride and make it easy to stop and take pictures along the way. Our tour guide, Matt, was helpful in teaching us how to ride the Segway's and very knowledgeable about DC. And he was a good photographer. Our whole family had a blast and we have already recommended the tour to others.

Absolutely the highlight of our trip!

Segways were easy to learn to use and a fun way to see DC.

My adult son came for a visit, and I was looking for special things to do with him, since we had not seen him for over 10 months. We took the metro in to town, and he confessed his fear that 3 hours would be much too long for this tour. The metro exit was right there, close to the place the tour started. Well, let me tell you, he had as much fun as I did! We liked having a headset, so we could hear our guide, Tyler, who was awesome. As we traveled in the bike lanes Tyler would warn us of anything we needed to watch out for. Plus he gave us much more of a history of DC tour, since he could talk to us even while we were making our way to our destinations. We had a blast, and I will definitely take other family members back for another ride/tour! Great Job Capital Segway! This was well worth the money.

The tour guide was less than enthusiastic during the tour, very bland. He did not spend much time explaining restaurants to try, etc. It was a good way to see the sights in a hurry. He did offer to take as many pictures of the group as they wanted.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the nations capitol. This is the best way to see all the places of interest in a small block of time and allows you to pinpoint spots that you want to revisit at your leisure which is what I did. The guide was awesome and the next time I want the 3 hr tour.

I am 80 years old and managed very well. I would do this again.

No better way to get around to key attractions with little effort or fatigue

The tour guides were great! Very patient with the group since we are all different ages and all different "skill levels". They were entertaining, knowledgable, and fun.

initial safety video and intoduction leaves one looking for the exit door , but once on the move things become easier progressing to confident and ultimately afterwards talking to friends being smug and boastful ..well a little ..!Our two guides excellent , good fun and informative .and helpful to anyone having difficulty .. just had them ''put down'' .for holding up the Group..(= joke ..like some of theirs .. ! ). Just go and do it ..you won't remember any of the tour but thats a small price for staying alive and boasting after ...have fun..!

Excellent and fun way to see top sites in DC, Justin our guide was full of interesting facts, definitely recommended. AlanBB (UK)
