Riding a Segway is super fun as an activity by itself. Here you also get to see some really amazing sites in DC with a team of knowledgeable tour guides.

DC Segway tour

Just do it!

Great experience. You too can ride a Segway! Kyle and Sherman were knowledgeable and fun. Would do again. Thanks guys!

Sad because I missed this activity

eva_c, Sep 2025
I was unable to do this activity, I couldn’t fine the street where the activity was supposed to begin

Wonderful experience at the center of Washington DC.

PETROS_S, Sep 2025
The event was well organised and very helpful in understanding whats going on in central Washington. Our two guides who accompanied the group of around 15 were wonderful, very helpful and knowledgable. They explain many details to us and their approach was very friendly. Unfortunately I had a couple of mishaps with the handling of the Segway since I am an owner of a motorcycle and its management is quite different, especially turning which unlike a motorcycle the Segway turning needs some time to get used to it. Perhaps my age (60) did not help much. Anyway the event was wonderful and our two guides exceptional. Many thanks.

Fun on the Segway

Peggy_H, Sep 2025
Segway was lit of fun to ride. We Segway many times for photos. Sean was a great guide full of info and trivia.

A fantastic trip

Leonard_W, Sep 2025
Sherman was our guide . He was knowledgable and made the tour enjoyable whilst keeping us all safe. The itinerary was great taking in all the major sites

DC Segway Monuments Tour

Joseph_H, Sep 2025
Riding the Segway was as much fun as seeing the monuments along this tour. If you want to spend quality time at each monument, this isn't the best option. But if you want to see a lot, learn a lot, and have a blast in the process, this is hard to beat. Our guide Alex was super funny, and learning how to ride a Segway takes all of 2 minutes.

Great experience

Mario_B, Sep 2025
Very exiting and a great way to avoid hours of walking to see the sites. Guides provide a lot of information and are most helpful.

Excellent way to see and hear about DC

Highly recommend tour!!

Holli_K, Aug 2025
This was fabulous! Got to see a bunch of sites , get great pictures, and the tour guide was very informative. The only thing I wish was that we could get off and walk some of the sites a bit more, and see the capital.

Best way to see DC

Pauline_H, Aug 2025
Easy to learn! Our instructor Kyle was awesome!! Amazing way to see the monuments! Even had time to take pictures!

Family Fun

Stacey_S, Aug 2025
This was absolutely wonderful! What a great way to see the sights. Sherman was a great tour guide. Would highly recommend this tour.

good city overview

Patricia_D, Aug 2025
Great overview of the city. It gave us perspective, great for first time visitor! You really don't get "into" the monuments; it's more drive by. So we walked back to them for that, but had a sense of where everything was. I felt comfortable on the Segway after about 2-3 minutes! And felt safe as the tour guides helped with traffic blocking at street crossings. Definitely a highlight of our city visit.

Great tour

Warren_B, Aug 2025
Great tour, Brandon was an excellent guide. It was nice not to be stuck inside a vehicle looking out at the sights but being able to ride along and get close to them.

Awesome tour of DC

Amy_G, Aug 2025
Fun experience! They spent time with each person making sure they are comfortable on the Segway before starting the tour.

Brandon is the best!!

Tiffany_R, Aug 2025
The Segway tour was an awesome way to explore the city! Brandon was friendly and made learning to ride easy. We saw tons of sights in a short time, and the ride itself was super fun. A perfect mix of adventure and Sightseeing-highly recommend!

Beware, Viator misstates tour length—it’s only 1.5 hours.

Scott_B, Aug 2025
Tour guides were great. Segways are fun way to see lots of sites quickly. Easier to ride than expected. HOWEVER, Viator lists tour as 2.5hrs and charges for that experience, yet tour provider called day of to move start time back one hour and tour provided was only 1.5 hours. Value not nearly what is advertised.

Fantastic tour

Howard_D, Jul 2025
Fantastic tour, Segways are super fun to drive! Tour guide was super knowledgeable. Listening devices could be upgraded.

A Segway tour is a great way to get your bearings and see all the main sights in a city, and this was one of the best we have been on. Sherif was a great guide, really knowledgeable and friendly.
