The tour was great, the Segways were such a fun experience and our group caught on very quickly thanks to the staff helping us learn the nuances of the machine. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the city and its many monuments. I would suggest more breaks from the Segway as your feet need a break, and it would be nice to walk around some of the places. But overall really good tour.

Have no fear -book it! Took me a few minutes to get the hang of the segway then I was on my way! Great way to see the city. My kids and 1 enjoyed the tour guide, the sights and the zipping through the city.

it was so much fun the guides made sure we were comfortable on the Segway before we left lots of interesting facts. rest break at Lincoln Memorial to rest our feet. Feet were tingling there at the end

Teddy and Kyle were fantastic guides! Informative, interesting and funny. I was nervous at first never being on a Segway but I felt so safe and well prepared! Great overall tour!!

Fantastic experience with great knowledgable tour guides. Highly recommend
