Absolutely brilliant experience and so much fun! We got the hang of the Segways really easily and it was a fantastic way to see Washington DC. Brandon was an excellent guide — friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole tour really enjoyable. We covered loads of the main sights and learned plenty along the way. One of the highlights of our USA trip visiting from Scotland. Highly recommend!

Kyle and Tom were the best! They were patient and kind to us first time and very. Nervous customers. The tour was very interesting and Kyle kept us laughing. By the end of it, I was convinced I could ride a Segway professionally! HA

Segway Tour

Carolyn_A, July 2026
Great way to learn about the city. So much fun. We stopped as a few spots and were given a lot of info about everything.

Amazing Tour with John!!!

Lisa_H, July 2026
This was an amazing experience. Jon did an amazing job teaching us how to properly use the Segway‘s and giving us confidence that we could operate on our own owns. The tour itself was amazing as well. John had us laughing and gave us so much information about each thing that we were seeing. I would highly recommend this to her to anyone who does not have all the time to walk to each location.

Arrive 30 mins early

Jrturley, May 2026
Very easy access. We came from the Metro station and it was right around the corner. Met immediately by Brandon who welcomed us as gave us a quick tutorial on the Segway and we were ready to hit the streets! What an incredible way to see so much of the city landmarks and monuments. Was paced very well with chance for a break and water! It’s hot in DC! Good information and history of the city as we went along. Just the right amount of information and time! Brandon was SUPER and would highly recommend!

Must Do Once

Paige_K, Apr 2026
It would have been more enjoyable if it was maybe a half an hour shorter. We were ready to get off the Segways by that point. Not a lot of stops so you are basically on the Segway the entire time. Definitely recommend doing it once and wearing comfortable shoes

Great Tour of Washington's monuments and memorials.

escalang, Apr 2026
This was a great, extensive and very informative tour! I really enjoyed stopping at all the monuments and memorials around the National Mall. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interactive which made the tour that much better. Will highly recommend it and would love to do it again if we are back.

Kyle is an awesome tour guide!

Allan_F, Apr 2026
A great experience - we are over 65 and it was easy to navigate the Segways. A fun and informative trip.

Fantastic tour guide

Joy_A, Apr 2026
We had so much fun on the segways. Our guide Justin was the perfect mix of light hearted and informative. We felt comfortable in the training before we headed out. One guest had an issue during the session and Justin handled it professionally and compassionately. Would highly recommend to friends.

Must experience thing

Richa_L, Apr 2026
I got recommendation from one of my friend who have done the Segway tour in past. I booked tour with my partner. We both had lots of fun and enjoyed every moment. Our tour guide Kylie was awesome, he had shared lots of insight throughout the tour. This is a very unque way to experience all the major attractions of DC. Riding Segway is absolut fun.

Best way to see DC

REGINALD_T, Apr 2026
Truly a great tour of some of the best sights in DC without having to walk to them all. The Segway is easy to operate and maneuver. The best part of the tour is how warm and friendly the tour guide team is.
