The day of our tour it was snowing, for some remarkable reason 4 hours before we where scheduled to be there it stop and cleared up to be a beautiful night, Cold but wonderful. Showed up singed and gave our credit card. Was not a big deal, they explained the card would only be charged if we stole or ruined a segway, I mean they are $8000.00 brand new. Our guide was introduced, he was obviously very comfortable on the Segway and showed us the basics which were not too hard to learn. Let me say my father, who is 65 years old mastered the segway in minutes and was cruising the alley like a pro. The tour was very informative and our tour guide had phenomenal information on the sites we saw. Other than the cold weather this was great, would recommend hats and gloves if you’re going when possibly it’s cold. Washington was beautiful lit up. Unfortunately the White House was trick or treating so we were not able to go all the way up but our tour guide got as far as we could, Spot light and an officer asking us to turn around area was closed. 100% effort to make this tour awesome and it showed. Recommended this to everyone, will add one more thing my 65 year old dad was able to run the Marine Corps Marathon the next day, no effort involved to a segway just getting over the nerves, great way to get around and see DC!
What a great experience. You cover so much more ground on a Segway than walking and much better than being on a bus. Not to mention that being on a segway is a lot of fun. Young guides were very energetic. I would do it again and will always look for Segway tours when in a new city
The tour was great fun - well organised and informative without being overburdening! I felt a little vulnerable on the Segways as the night closed in so lights would be a good investment for the tour - but the monuments were spectacular in the dark. The company were great rescheduling our tour which was somewhat messed up courtesy of hurricane Irene!
What can I say - one of the best tours I've ever been on: a great combination of fun, sightseeing and information. If you have a chance go on this tour- don't miss it.
Excellent way to see the city this tour was excellent the seg ways are easy to use and don't worry if you have never used one before you have a trainning session before you set off. We picked the 6pm tour it lasted three hours and it was dark when we returned but seeing the city at night we lovely. Our tour guide was funny and he pointed out all the main sights of the city. I would do this tour again it was the best tour we did.
So much fun! Rory is the best guide - we went for miles and saw so much - best way to introduce yourself to the main sights of DC. Be warned, it is hard on your calves and feet - I got off quite a bit to stretch. But once you have mastered the Segway, it is THE only way to go! I would suggest the night tour at the moment because daytime is just too hot in DC now. Thoroughly recommended tour, such fun, something really different :)
What a tour this was excellent if you get a chance to do this don't miss it. The Segway is very easy to ride the guide new his city and wanted to tell us all about it recommend to all
You learn a lot about the sites you visit, plus the Segway was a lot of fun to ride. Definitely worth it.
This is my second Viator tour - first in Frisco and now this one in DC. You guys rock!
Best thing that we did the whole trip. It was incredible. You could get much closer on a Segway than in a tour bus. It was so much fun. I was a bit afraid that at 51, I could not learn how to ride but it was really easy. I would tell everyone to do it.
The segway tour was the highlight of my trip! I enjoyed seeing DC at night and it was quite thrilling to ride a segway.
I would recommend the Segway tour to everyone going to DC. Our guide, Sam, was wonderful and the trip heaps of fun. Sam had lots of info about DC, which was very handy as there is no visitors information centre in Washington at the moment.
Fantastic trip!! Seeing the sights all lit up was very impressive! Well worth the money. Learning how to ride a Segway is easy and I would tell everyone to give it a shot. Our guide was GREAT!!!!
What a blast! I highly recommend this tour. The Segway is easy to ride (takes 15 minutes or so to get used to it) and is a great way to experience the Mall and all the monuments. The tour guides are informative and fun, and generally concerned about their guests. The night tour was especially cool, as we ended with the Lincoln Memorial and the WWII memorial, two of the most beautiful monuments when lit at night. One piece of advice: wear comfortable shoes. Although you're not walking, you are still on your feet the whole time, and using your legs to balance. A little extra cushion will go a long way towards making your evening more enjoyable (you'll be wearing a goofy helmet anyway, so no need to be concerned with fashionable footwear...). This is a great way to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of time, all while being the envy of fellow tourists making the long treks on foot. Take the tour!
Had a great time, well worth the money for 3 hours.
