Capital Segway - Lincoln Memorial stop. One of several that were amazing. - Tours Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

So we showed up at 11 AM for our 11 AM. But they denied us the opportunity to participate in the tour because we didn't arrive at 10:30 for the turn invited which I was fine with. However they refused to give me a refund. Which I found utterly ridiculous. First and foremost I found it utterly unfair that they would not give me refund despite the fact that I showed up at 11, when the tour was scheduled. They asked why didn't I call prior and it was because I was driving there and honestly, I do not pick up calls when I drive. If there are going to require training 30 minutes prior to the actual tour, they should just say the tour starts at 10:30. read more

We are in our 60's and have never done a Segway tour. Our mailman said it's a great way to see DC Monument's and it was. We were trained so you felt confident. It was a lot of fun The instructors were patient and our tour guide was awesome The entire staff was great read more

We had a large family group reservation and we received a private group tour. Yates was a great tour guide and full of knowledge! We were well trained before going out for our trip around the city! Definitely recommend if you are looking for a fun way to do a city tour. read more

My wife and I had an awesome experience. Kyle was our guide and he very funny and informative. Would definitely recommend if u want to learn about the d.c. area and see some cool sights! read more

This was so much fun and very educational. The tour guide (Rafael I think) was excellent with voluminous knowledge tempered with humor. Riding a Segway becomes second nature after a minute or two. During the 92 degree heat and humidity the movement of the Segway really took the edge of the heat. Highly recommended. read more

My wife and I's first time riding a Segway and this tour was excellent! Instructions/Orientation was good enough to get us going and feel comfortable. Our tour guide (Teddy) was awesome and entertaining. He had lots of great info, additional fun facts that you likely can't read about, and was great keeping us safe and not letting other pedestrians interfere with the pack. We used the tour as a scouting trip for places we may want to come back and see. Got to see so much in just two hours. Loved it and will recommend to all! read more

My first Segway tour!! Arrive early and you will not be so scared when the tour starts../ and after that: easy peasy!! These guys did a great job at explaining the Segway and watching out for the duckling-line as we segway-ed across town. Staring at 9:30 and ending at noon on the dot: Best fun. TIP: wear comfortable standing shoes cause that's what you do on the segway: stand! I have weak knees ans made it though, it was so much fun!! read more

This is my second time on a segway tour in Washington DC. It is an excellent way to explore the National Mall! The first time I did the segway tour was with another company, that was a few years back and that was more expensive. I like Capital Segway more, not only because it is more affordable but also it is conveniently located in a place where you can get food, do sightseeing, go to museums after the tour. Location wise it is super! Also, the shop is clean and restroom is clean (I think the one I went last time is more nasty), this is so important to me nowadays. We did the training inside the shop, not a problem for me because I had segway experience, I don't know if it is not as good for novice people though, but I didn't hear any complaint from our group. Moreover, last time we had more time for training outside in a parking lot, but I feel like we can use more time in the actual tour instead, so the amount of training at Capital Segway is just right for me as we have 2 hours outside. I have to shout out that we reserved the tour on a rainy day, and based on the forecast we have a concern whether the tour will continue so we called Capital Segway ahead of time, and they promised will let us know if it is going to cancel when the time gets closer. (in fact, we don't want to do it while it is raining) They are super friendly and flexible, the rain indeed came and we were able to reschedule it to the day after. Originally we are a group of 4 and we became a group of 3 because one of us cannot join the day after, we got 100% refund for the person who cannot join without any problem. In my opinion I think it is not as good to do the tour on a rainy day as you have less visibility and the road/street is not in a safe riding condition (may be slippery, people with umbrella people won't see you etc). Fantastic Segway Tour, convenient location, reasonable price, highly highly recommend! Please don't forget your tip! read more

Great training and preparation for our 2 hour tour. Not too slow or fast. Just the right amount of time in the Segways. Very knowledgeable guide. read more

What a great way to get an in-depth and entertaining guided tour to our Capitol, without ending up exhausted, and without contributing to traffic! The Segways were perfectly easy to learn to operate -- intuitive and with a careful and thorough orientation before we took to the streets. All safety equipment was included, as well as headsets so we could hear our guide and each other -- it made the trip much more interactive. Guides were friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and super aware of our needs for pacing; they also told us what to expect regarding navigation (no one was confused or left behind). They gave us each a small bottle of water, included with the tour; I'd recommend bringing another one, especially during the hot months. There is a break in the middle of the tour -- pack a quick lunch! The Segways have pouches to store things. (There are places to buy snacks and water at the break, as well.) I'll totally do this again. read more

Capital Segway - Ryan, our tour guide! - Tours Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My boyfriend and I decided to take a Segway tour our last night in DC. Our tour guides Jill and Ralphy were great! They made sure we were comfortable using the Segways before leaving, always assisted us when needed and took our photos whenever we asked. This was a great way to see all the historic sights. Keep in mind you are on a Segway meaning you cannot go into monuments because that is obviously rude and disrespectful. I would recommend to do what my boyfriend and I did which was walk to all of the monuments, take photos and take our time seeing everything the first couple of days you are in DC and then booking a tour like this one so you can hear more about the history of each monument. read more

My favorite part of being in DC! My boyfriend and I had so much fun. Evan and Nolan were great at teaching us how to ride the segways. This was our very first time and we loved it so much we wanna do it again! Also I'm super short and they were able to adjust it to my height. They made sure you are very comfortable before heading out. The tour was so much fun. It wasn't just them talking and boring you to death. They were very personable and funny. Most importantly, once outside they made sure you were safe as there are so many other cars and pedestrians. They also give your great recommendations to do around the city. If you're looking for something new and fun to do, stop looking. You've found it here!! Thank you guys for such a great time!! read more

Capital Segway - Excellent Capital tour! - Tours Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Capital Segway is a great activity for out-of-towners, but I recently discovered how fun it could be for locals (like me) too. Have you truly seen a city until you've seen it while going in 360 degress on a segway? I've never ridden before, so the mini tutorial was much needed and appreciated. If you're a newbie like I was, let me tell you this: it does not work how you think it does! You don't move forward with the handles (you use your body and lean into it), you don't turn by turning your wrists (you motion like windshield wipers), and there is no on/off button (the segways will go without you, so make sure you park it against something). Once you get past the initial fear, it quickly becomes your favorite. thing. ever. Zooming 12 miles an hour on the street and grass feels more wildly adventurous than it reads. Plus, the tour guides are super funny and engaging. This experience is a must-try at least once. read more

Capital Segway - Parked Segways / Training Area - Tours Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

You have to do this. It was amazing! I wanted to buy one of these segways. They were that cool and easy to ride. What makes this company so great are its people. These tour guides are so good. I can't get over how well run this tour is. The gentleman were patient and thorough making sure everyone felt secure on the segways and then put on a top notch tour. The wireless audio is amazing. I could not believe how much we saw and how great all this worked. Super worth the price. Things I would have liked to know going in for the first time: 1) The segway had a place up front to put a small cinch sac backpack that I was wearing around town. This was so great. I didn't have to worry about my gear. 2) It was hot and humid when I went - segways move so fast that it was actually cooler being on a segway and you can see so much more than walking 3) Capital Segway has two bathrooms to use before and after the tour 4) The segway has a place to put your phone and your water bottle while you are on the tour and there are times that the tour will stop to give you a chance to take pics with your cell phone. I almost wish I had my go-pro running. I have a handlebar mount that might have worked. Not sure. The tour was that cool though. 5) I was in DC for work and we were in two big groups on the segway tour. The wireless vox audio used on the tour makes it so nice and despite city noise you can hear everything the tour guide is saying. 6) The tour is long and your feet have to be kinda fixed to the pads. Stretch out your feet before you start. They will be sore after the tour for a bit but you will probably recover quickly. It's just because we normally don't fix your feet in one place for that long using very small muscle movements. It's really cool. Thanks so much to the tour guides. Can't wait to do it again. Every place I go if they offer a segway tour I'm going to try it. 7) I had a hat with me and I put it under my helmet. I did not feel unsafe but you will want to wear the helmet. I think it helped with the sun. read more

Amazing tour with a fantastic tour guide on Monday July 26. Looking for something a little different to do with an out of town friend. This Segway tour did not disappoint!

Having been on Segway tours before in different cities, I knew that it was a great way to quickly see a lot of a city with minimal effort and the added fun of riding a Segway. Capital Segway didn't disappoint and offered a great, fun service that I would heartily recommend. These tours are a great thing to do when you first arrive in DC as they really quickly familiarise you with the layout of the National Mall and show you all the major things while giving you a nice historical understanding of the place. The $65 tour (weekend price, $60 on weekdays) was around 2 hours long and there was no speed cap on the Segways, allowing you to zoom around to your heart's content. Tour guides offered complete training and were always vigilant of safety throughout the tour. The tour guides were informative and fun and were open to questions. About halfway through the tour we stopped and had around 15 mind to walk around the Lincoln Memorial. The tour group was about 10 people, and everyone was provided with a safety helmet and a headset so you could always hear the tour guide. My tip: if you're a student you can email them to get a 10% discount code off the online booking of your tour! read more

How else can you see the tourist sights in Washington DC in couple of hours other than Segway tour? We're glad that we chose this tour operator over many competitors. We came here on Saturday morning and we were greeted by the manager on duty at that time. He was very informative and very helpful. We were informed that the tour would run for a couple of hours and that we must come back 30 minutes earlier to our chosen scheduled trip in order for us to practice with Segway and not to consume our allocated tour time. To me, that was really cool. We came back 30 minutes before our tour to practice how to run and control the Segway inside the office. They were all comfortable. They let us go out to the street and to the park to practice. We started the tour at the White House. Then we proceeded to the WWII memorial, the Abraham Lincoln memorial, the Mall, the reflecting pool, the George Washington memorial and some museums along Pennsylvania Avenue. It took us a couple of hours to see all those great things. It would have taken us a whole day by foot. The tour in my opinion is not slow and not fast either. The pace is just perfect for you to enjoy the lovely weather, historical sights, memorials and riding your new toy--the Segway. read more

Capital Segway - An up-close & personal view of our Nation's Capitol - Tours Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Got to Capital Segway in the afternoon. Parking was easy because there was some street parking available right outside of the place. Also there is a parking garage right next door to it. So parking wasn't a issue. After signing waivers then they train you on the basics of riding and operating the Segway which is a very good thing. I'm a Segway Pro so i already had training but they will still verify you know how to ride it which is a good thing. They have a nice waiting area with a fridge packed with water in case a tour is already in-session. Bathrooms & a TV in the waiting area. Took the $60 tour in the afternoon. The guy giving the tour was very highly detailed discussing the monuments and everything and totally awesome, social & good sense of humor. The tour guide gave everyone radios before departing for the tour. The tour guide has mic access on the radios so everyone in the group could hear him. We took a break 1/2 into the tour to look at some monuments. Upon returning. You park the Segway. Everyone in the group usually socializes and that's it. Also they sell Segways here. I was looking at a new model Segway and the owner was helping me with the questions and everything. Totally awesome person. Very friendly, social & highly professional. A+++++++++ read more

We had a wonderful tour with Capitol Segway!!! Our guide was Erin. Amazing experience, we got to see all of the sites & felt very secure/comfortable. The safety briefing and practice inside the office made us feel comfortable. This was a great way to hear the history of the monuments/memorials/buildings while also getting a light workout and staying Covid safe. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Capital Segway - Tours Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We chose to do a DC Monuments Segway tour for our anniversary, even though we've been to DC many times and seen all the major monuments, we thought it would be a fun experience. And it was! Even if you're from the DC/MD/VA area and been to DC multiple times, its worth doing a segway tour. I must admit I didn't hear much in the beginning because I was too focused on not running into anyone but even I, a clumsy non-athletic person, figured it out. Its a great way to see DC and you see a lot! It was fun to zoom down the streets of DC down the bikelane. We had one 20 minute stop at the Lincoln Memorial. Wish we got to stop at more places though. Our tour guides JR and John were funny and helpful, always willing to take pictures for us. We had some time at the end (5-10 minutes) to zoom around on our Segways before our tour was over. Tip: Def get there 30 minutes before your tour start. They will call you if you are late (like they did us. Got there in time to do the training, whew) Other random thoughts: The headsets were necessary so you could hear the tour. They do a great job of getting everyone across the crazy streets of DC. They also give you a small bottle of water. read more

This place was so rude and insensitive. It was raining and they claimed we did not come on time to make our tour despite us trying to make it there on time. It was raining and after 5 min of helping part of our group get on the Segway they said we weren't ready to ride and cancelled our ride. It would have been ok if they turned us away after walking in at our scheduled time but they took time to get us set up with helmets and radios and helped 3/4 of our group and suddenly "decided" we weren't ready. Do not come here unless you are more than early and/or already tried a Segway tour. Terrible. read more

We had a great time. We were a little nervous about the Segway but it was very easy once you get the hang of it. My daughter fainted from the heat and the guides were very helpful and got us in a car service back to their office. read more

Highly recommend. This was our first time doing a Segway tour, and the experience was wonderful. The training was very thorough. Our guide, Nolan, was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.

Had an excellent time with Will and Ben. Will was superb at his job. Best part of our trip so far.

Besides 5 stars, I would like to also give them a "wheel of awareness" award. I had come to Washington DC and just completed a conference on treating mental health problems in the context of our society. When I first arrived at the shop, the guide, Chris and the manager gave me such a warm welcome and engaging conversation that I had an insight and shared with them: Dysfunctional families and politics are much like bad wallpaper. Both are more than annoying, hard to remove, hard to cover up... However, today I found my bliss when I mounted up on a Segway and rode away! read more

We've been to Washington, DC before but as one of us is having some difficulty walking, we thought it might be fun to see the sights from a Segway. We booked the tour online which was super simple with many different times being offered. We got to the facility about 40 minutes early and they were welcoming and got us ready for our excursion. John helped everyone test their skills, at his own peril. Actually John and Chris did a great job ensuring our group was capable of operating the Segway. Though the weather was iffy, it held off and we had a great tour around the White House and Mall with a stop at the Lincoln Memorial. John and Chris took photos of groups in those picturesque spots, if you wanted them to. Despite a couple of mishaps that my companion had, John was extremely helpful and got us back on track. It's a little difficult maneuvering through pedestrian traffic on street corners. But all in all, it was a fun tour and I'd recommend it if you're looking for something different. read more

The tour itself was great. Our instructors, Chris and Robert, where tremendous - funny, informative and kept the entire crew of 12 engaged and safe.

This tour was a great way to see the local attractions without having to walk around to each individual one. It is also narrated by a Tour Guide who leads the way and ensures a safe trip at all times. The best part about it is you are able to hear the tour guide at all times through a ear piece that is provided by the Tour Operator. The connection is crystal clear so you will have no issue hearing what the Tour Guide is saying at any time. Their website details all the attractions they go past. They will also stop at any Attraction you would like to, but most you pass by or go slowly past, but you will remain on your Segway for the majority of the trip. You are not allowed to use your Cell Phone while operating the Segway, however when you are safely stopped, you are allowed to take pictures/selfies. The Tour Guide also has no issues taking pictures if you need. I was in a larger Tour and some of the attractions were skipped as seen from a distance, but this is also a result of stopping longer at other attractions, so keep this in mind if you wanted to see all the attractions towards the end of the tour (Capitol Building, Air & Space, etc). As for the Segway riding, I had no experience ever riding one, but the Tour Guides made it very easy. They show you a quick safety quick and riding tutorial. They then acquaint you with the Segway and adjust the handle bars as needed for comfort. They then go through how to step on and step off of it, while also teaching you how to move and turn. I was a little uncomfortable at first, especially after what I felt was a very quick tutorial, but these Segways were very easy to get comfortable with once you started riding. I definitely recommend this tour if you have never been to DC to learn about all the attractions and the area. I also wouldn't be worried about riding a Segway for the first time as it is really easy, so do not let that deter you away from this tour. read more

Probably the best Segway tour company in the city. They have a nice intro course before your tour, an in ear speaker to hear the tour guide (and cheesy "Jungle boat" style commentary) The route we took included the White House (from 2 different points of view) the Lincoln memorial, the national mall, the Washington monument, the WWII memorial, the Washington WWI memorial, the financial district, and capital hill. I highly recommend taking the Segway tour to find out where certain landmarks are, then planning your attack for the rest of your site seeing after the tour -- you'll have a much better idea of what you want to see more of, and where it all is. read more
