Easy...even for mom! - My son didn't want to do a tour but I did. So we compromised and do a tour I thought he would enjoy. I was nervous. But it was so fun! And much easier than I anticipated! Despite the crazy crowds for the cherry blossoms we were able to zip around without difficulty! Great tour guides kept us informed about what we were seeing. Such a great time. I would definitely recommend!

So worth it! - My first Segway tour and it was excellent! So much fun! Saw highlights of DC sights and learned some interesting facts! This helped us plan our trip and saved thousands of steps! I'm 67 years old and would do this again! Now I will look for Segway yours in other cities and hope they are as good as this one was. Highly recommended!

Mother and Daughter Magnificent Memory - The guys were very helpful and getting us acclimated and comfortable standing and using the Segway. Even though it was crowded, I felt very comfortable. We had an absolute blast. We picked the perfect time of the year, even though it was cold, but the scenery was epic. I would definitely recommend this experience!!! We’ll remember it always!!!

A great day in DC! - This tour was informative and covered the most important monuments and sights in D.C. It allowed us to cover a much greater distance than on foot. the Segways were very sturdy and very easy to use.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL MUST DO! - Super fun experience up close and personal with the guides Ernesto and ?! Very helpful and patient in using the Segways!! (If I can anyone can!). I was very hesitant but I did just fine and was able to see so many sights in a short period of time not walking! Beautiful March day and it was perfect!!

Super fun and unique way to tour D.C. - Did not expect a large group when i signed up for this even in early March. However, there were about 20 in the group. The first 40 mins was signing release waivers, getting a helmet and then learning how to use a Segway. This was partly because all of the group were Segway first timers. It's not as easy to ride one as it looks at first, but soon we all go the hang of it. then it was off for our 2 hour tour It was really fun once you get comfortable with it. Each tourist is given an wireless earphone to wear so you can hear your guide at all times. The guide spoke continuously on the various sites, interesting lesser known histories, and joked around. He was good. Honestly though i couldn't digest what he was saying for the first 15 mins or so because i was concenetrating on operating the Segway. But once i got the hang of it, it became second nature! Highly recommended.

Great way to see DC! - My two grown sons and I are in DC for 3 days to see the sights. We have done the Hop On Hop Off bus tour (it was good), we did the Arlington Tour (it was good and very moving!) We did the Capital tour (it was good and I learned a few things), then we did the Capital Segway tour and it was excellent!! Ryan was out guide and gave us a good amount of history, and he added to the tour with some of his own thoughts and the challenging quizes he would do almost every time we stopped at a monument. It was a great time, we all loved it!! It took a couple minutes to feel comfortable on the segway, but they took the time to make sure have the basic down on driving the segway and then you are on your way. This is well worth your time and money to try!

Segway DC - Fun Segway trip around town to see the sights. Very nice and professional guides who familiarized us with the vehicle before we started and quoted lots of information as we toured.
