The tour was awesome and I had a ton of fun! I would recommend this to anyone considering it. Way more fun than I could have imagined and an excellent way to see DC! Owning a Segway is now on my wish list. Our guide, Matt was excellent, and it was really nice to have someone knowledgeable leading the way.... more

I had an amazing time on my segway tour. We started off with a cheesy safety video that frankly was a little intimidating. We then got our helmets on and headed out to the segways. We were each given individual training one at a time and allowed to roam for a little while until we all felt comfortable. Our group... more

This was a fabulous tour. Our guide, Scott was quite thorough, fun, and informative. My first experience on a segway was when my husband and I toured Philadelphia. The segway company had radios to talk to us as we toured the city. When I made the reservation for the DC segway, I was somewhat concerned becuase they did not use... more

I would highly recommend doing the Segway Tours! It was the highlight of our trip! It was a great and FUN way to sight see around the city. There is nothing like zooming around in your Segway in front of the White House. More importantly, I thought our tour was great. I thought the orientation in the beginning was very... more

Did the evening tour during our visit on Labor Day this year. Meghan was our guide and she was great! Interesting commentary but we were even more impressed by her attention to safety for the group. She was always watching out for anyone having any trouble and was right there if they needed her to help steady the segway while... more

We did the segway tour, with our tour guide Meaghan and it was an absolute blast! Totally worth the money for this one of a kind experience. We did this our first full day in the city on Sunday of Labor day, it was great to take the Sunday 10am tour, not too many people in the city. I am... more

I would agree with most of the other reviewers. A fun way to see all the main sites, although some find the Segway easier to learn than others. By the end though, you will be very confident and have had a great time. Would like to do another tour now in another location - a fun way to get around. more

Recently I was in Washington DC for my first time. I found the City Segway Tour on TripAdvisor as a highly rated attraction. It cost $70 for a 3 hour tour. (A credit card is required to ensure a damage deposit that is cancelled at the end of the tour) This is an excellent way to get your bearings around... more

First, of the fact that they don't allow children under age 16. This put my family in the uncomfortable position of having to leave our 6'0", 15 year old son at the hotel while we went on the tour. Also, beware of the price. I understand that the segways are a novelty, but for four people, it was $280, and... more

Thanks for recently visiting City Segway Tours of Washington, DC. I wanted to take a brief moment to respond to your review. First, I am sorry for the inconvenience that was caused by our age restriction. The District of Columbia enforces the minimum age for Segway riders and has set that age at 16 years old. We would love to...

Great tour and great fun. The evening tour in the summer when it has cooled down a bit is excellent. After a while you are zipping along like a pro on the Segway, seeing almost all worth seeing. Take the tour at the beginning of your visit to get a good overview of the attractions. more
