Great tour! My wife and I are in our sixties, so we had some anxiety leading up to the tour. We soon discovered that operating a segway was very easy and a lot of fun. After a short instructional video and a few minutes of practice outside the office, we were off. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. We saw lots of the major Washington attractions and had lots of fun on the segway. Absolutely the best way to tour DC.

What a great treat! We were surprised to see how easy it was to ride a segway. There was even an older lady in the group, and she managed fine. We had a great time, and were able to see a lot of sites without having to deal with parking and running to bus. With a segway you get to go almost anywhere pedestrians go. Thanks for a GREAT TIME!

By far the most fun under the sun one can have in Washington D.C. The tour guide was amazing, with facts and figures for practically every building in the metropolitan D.C. area. The Segways were not only head-turners for other tourists (you wouldn't believe how many people wanted to take pictures of the Segway-ers!), they were fun to ride. In fact, the ride on the Segway made me want to buy one for myself! If you're ever in D.C., take the Segway tour (next time I will try to schedule the night tour, you have to book way ahead of time as they sell out fast).
