Riding the Segway around the city was fun . It is easy to use and safe. I would say it took me 5 minutes to get used to it. Absolutely loved the experience. We were able to get to places that would have otherwise taken hours to get to. The guide was friendly and funny. Great way to spend 2.5 hours of your day in DC .

It was a lot of fun. We were nervous about learning to ride the segway, but we didnt have any issues. I wished we spent more time riding around the mall, but we did get to see a lot of DC which was great. I would definitely recommend doing this.

I had never rode a Segway in my life, within 30 minutes I was on my new ride coasting the streets of DC with our outstanding instructors and tour guides. Loved that we stopped to get pictures and even got a few tips for dinner. You’ve got to try this tour!
