Traveler Tips

Pretty much the whole time everyone is just following behind the guide in a single file line, listening to him on your headset, so it's not awkward to be by yourself at all.

Fantastic tour

Natalia_T, Sept 2023

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the Segway tour around Washington DC. We were only visiting DC for one day, so it was a perfect tour for seeing the most significant locations in a short time and learning about their history. Our tour guides Rocky and Paolo were both very knowledgeable and friendly. We were all trained on the segways before embarking on our tour, and offered a cold bottle of water, sunscreen and bug spray as it was a very hot day. We really enjoyed riding the segway around DC as it is more unique than a bus or bike tour in our opinion. It takes a few minutes to get used to the segway but it’s not hard at all. Overall we had a fantastic time and I definitely recommend this tour to anyone else visiting DC!

Highly recommend!

Segway my way to the white house

Cydcharrise_B, Aug 2023

We had a great time. I had never been on a Segway before but the trainers were patient. It was scary at first going into the street but I was more comfortable toward the middle of the tour. The tour guide Kevin was great and very knowledgeable. I would definitely do it again. Tera was helpful with getting me pass obstacles.

Amazing way to experience DC

Natasha_H, Aug 2023

Chris was an amazing tour guide. In fact the entire operation was top notch. We were scheduled for a 630 Segway tour but they called us to tell us that there was some thunderstorms rolling in around that time and gave us options on when to move our tour. We chose earlier in the day and I am so glad we did because we got Chris as our guide! He was so informative, always willing to take our pics in front of the monuments and he ensured that everyone was with the group and doing ok on the Segways. He even recommended an amazing restaurant to go eat afterwards. At first the Segways required a learning curve but they were super helpful and made sure we were safe before we left the store. Riding the Segways is one of the funnest and best ways to experience all the different sites that DC has to offer. I would highly recommend this place.

Excellent tour!!!

Janie_T, Aug 2023

Great activity, highly recommend it!

Jay_T, Aug 2023

This tour was outstanding, highly recommend it! Ryan and Roffi were terrific tour guides. They gave each person a hands-on tutorial of operating the Segway safely, and throughout the tour provided historical and very entertaining narratives of the many sights we saw. It was so much fun!
